Biglaw Partners: Two questions. What do you enjoy most about being a partner? What do you dislike the most about being a partner?

Do men in their 30s actually want to settle down and get married? It seems like most are pretty happy with their single lifestyle. Asking as a 26F who is looking for commitment if I should even bother

I just want to date someone that also enjoys sitting in a dive bar all day, watching sports, drinking bourbon and going for steak afterwards. Is that too much to ask for? 🥲

AstraZeneca , Analytics and Insights Manager Salary anyone?

PepsiCo or S&P Global....

Hi
I am a BA ( conversion lead) at Oyo with 4.5 years of experience and looking for a job change . Kindly need some leads

PPMDs, if an employee comes to you and ask for support to join a different group within the firm and the employees ends up not getting the other role, do you typically treat them differently after (e.g., not staffing them on as many deals) / would you hold them back from promotion the following year?

I’m a cradle Catholic and my faith has been a big part of my identity. I’ve been a liturgical minister, altar server, lector.. I’ve regularly gone for Catholic retreats, adult Catholic education etc. - all this to say I’ve been pretty serious and invested in my faith
However I’m having a crisis of faith right now. I’m appalled and embarrassed by the way in which the Catholic Church in America (where I now live) is IMO unashamedly political (cont.)

For those doing WFH, has your employer prohibited you from forwarding copies of documents to personal emails for remote preparation and printing? It seems a little over the top to me. Thoughts?

I posted a trade on ual yesterday and then sp went up a bit. I wonder if this is why. Maybe someone bet a deal on bonds would fall through for united while the market rallied in hopes of a deal?

does patent prosecution exist in nyc? i am a patent attorney thinking about making a move

It feels like everyone has gotten so down on advertising. You can still make great work for great brands at great agencies. You can still do things you’re proud of. And fill your portfolios with beautiful things. And have great impact. And collect shiny awards and enjoy great after parties after it. And see your commercials on TV during the Super Bowl. It’s still a great way to make a living if done right. And craft services is still tasty. You just have to make the right career moves.

Any connects for black design professionals?

IS there an option of permitted WFH option in Labcorp?

Do you bill for reviewing work by a junior? I spend a lot of time on it because it was their first writing for me.

After law school, I worked at a “boutique” law firm (i.e., a small law firm that paid like crap and worked you big law hours) and then moved in-house. I have realized that I now work the same hours as my big law friends, have much less job satisfaction than they do (yes, that is possible), and make less money than they do. Now, I have the opportunity to go big law in an area I currently practice in. I’m considering taking the opportunity. What should I be thinking about?

Going full coast mode. Junior in corporate group. Decent reviews so far so I’m hoping to get a year of true slacking in before getting three months to find something else. I’ll report back on the experience.

do you bill for panic attacks

In the history of recorded time, has a deal ever signed when it was scheduled to sign?

5th year corporate associate, currently interviewing for in house rules. I got an offer for $250k all in (including salary and bonus) but feel like that is a little lower than what was expected. Any ideas on how to approach? Any other mid level associates care to share how much they got to go in house?

Dear first years: We get it. You're bored. You want to hit the ground running. You're motivated. You're panicked. Lay off the inter-office chat. Senior associates are busy. This isn't gchat. There is a very fine line between reminding us you exist and becoming a pest.

Student loan pause or nah?

While I do enjoy dressing more casually, does anyone else find that wearing a suit helped with the imposter syndrome?

How long does it take to draft a complaint

Is it true that if you have to cancel or move a vacation because of a deal / work your firm pays for the changes?

I accepted a post-clerkship offer to work at the NY office of a V20 law firm before the salary raises. My new firm has already matched the new Cravath scale. Should I wait for them to send a revised offer letter, or inquire on my own?

Curious to hear from NYC Metro-based 🐠 who got married in the area - what was your experience deciding between a NYC wedding vs. outside the city wedding (like NJ) in terms of options, cost/value, etc.? In case helpful, likely looking at 150-180 guest list

I have a friend who has been at 4 firms in 6 years. She wants me to refer her to my firm (a v25) but I actually don’t think she’s a great atty and substantively isn’t experienced in the area she wants to work (wants to do tech trans but had experience in trademark prosecution and ip lit). Do I just not submit her? I would hate to work with her.

Partners: what would you think if a first year associate tells you she is pregnant? And what advise would you give about telling my partners? It was totally unplanned so now I am scared that this may hurt my career and I would be seen as not being committed to the job. This will be my second kid but we had our first while I was in law school. Most of the partners I am working with have at least two kids but also they are men. No female associates with kids in my office.

What do you think about Julian Sarafian’s story? If there’s anything to think about it
