Billed 14 hours today. About to nap. Got a prep meeting with a witness in 5 hours.

I’m getting ready to start my FT position as a HUC (Health Unit Coordinator) in Labor and Delivery. I know it will be a while before I do anything of the sort, or IF I do anything of the sort. But I wondered if there were any other HUCs on here who crosstrained? (Wether as a PCT Patient Care Tech, Medical Records, or Telemetry?) was it worth it?

Hello all. Looking for thoughts and opinions. I’ve been a sales manager with a small company (I refuse to say it is a start up anymore since they bring in several million in ARR). I’ve been with them for a year and a half. I started at 50k and now make 63k. I am a full-cycle sales manager…the company does not believe in the use of BDRs. There’s no opportunity for growth. Is my salary fair (per MA standards)? I was promised high OTE… but with no marketing team I also hardly get leads.

I just had a doc appointment and as I was walking up, I noticed 4 staff members with their masks completely pulled down below their chins until they saw me approaching. They then pulled their masks up but it made me uncomfortable. If masks are required in doctors offices, shouldn’t they remain on all the time even if patients aren’t in the immediate vicinity? Especially since covid can last in the air for hours. I’m vaccinated but higher risk

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

My manager casually threw out that she had an exec tell her it’s fine if she wants to close my division down next year. We are a niche team in a large company. I asked her to clarify as I am worried about my team (and me) she said we would be “well taken care of” as in receive severance…she was so casual about it and said she didn’t know what she would do - we’re performing well, but it’s a small market. What do I do? Warn my team? Look for jobs? I have been here for 20 years w/niche skills…

Hi all,

Got a bit of an odd request.

I'm a Project Manager at Sainsbury's based in Holborn and was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a tour of their London Big4 office?? I've never been in their office and I would like to visualise what I'm striving for. Willing to meet up for a coffee before hand or have an initial call. Coffee's on me!

TIA

Anybody here that works in NYC office? I’m visiting the office next month as selected by my university and would love to meet some of you and grab coffee/chat

What are some things you’d love to grab from a booth at a trade show?

Hey yall is anyone in partner or channel sales that'd be willing to talk for some product development? Product idea is a b2b partnership marketplace. Think what MS does but without the need for all the certifications to engage.

What are your best practices for marketing and bringing in new clients?

Wondering about potential exit/in-house opportunities for different practice groups. I’m currently in big law and choosing between general corporate deal work (M&A/PE) and tech transactions. Do either of these give better in-house (or other) opportunities later on?

Interested in retooling from corp to tax because I heard that it’s largely solving logic puzzles which sounds appealing to me. Would appreciate any insight from the tax attorneys on here!

How long will a law firm hold out a lateral offer for? And what excuse could I give to extend the wait time without looking like I’m not that interested in the job? I think an offer might be coming soon from a v10 but I’m mid process for an in house role at the moment and I’m genuinely not sure which I want more.

Drafting my first Daubert motion. The expert is unqualified and our motion has merit. But I still feel icky attacking this person and their credentials.

If a major big law firm lowered their annual billable target significantly (like maybe to 1750), would other firms follow? Would it be the most popular firm recruiting-wise?

Midlevel M&A here and got my issues list pretty much completely rewritten - any tips on how to improve? Feeling dejected and like i’m not meant to be a corporate lawyer at the moment 🥲

Does anyone here use a ReMarkable 2 for note taking in a legal context? Thoughts/reviews? Thanks!

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

I don’t understand how, but it feels like big law partners don’t get that we are only in this for the money (and they are too). “Experience” only helps me if it translates to future value. And “future” value means something different than it did 30 years ago when most people wanted to make partner.

For people who lateraled from midsized/regional to a big firm (AM100/200), what year were you when you moved & what was your experience like? Are you happy with your move(s) given the differences—positive or negative—in your comp, hours worked, WLB, career growth/opportunities, etc.? I know it will vary vastly from person-to-person, location, firm, values, etc., but I’m weighing some options and am curious to hear different perspectives.

How bad is it at Gunderson? Isn’t 30 associates a large amount for them to layoff as they aren’t that big? Do we think layoffs will hit other firms like Fenwick, Wilson Sonsini, Goodwin etc? Crazy how things have changed in Bay Area…

Any other remote first years incredibly lonely? I have friends and family (single) but can pretty much only see them during the weekends, which go by way too quickly. Not much of a life….

Can you round up a 3.47 GPA on your resume to a 3.5 without risking the firm considering you unethical once they see your transcripts ? 4th year trying to lateral.

How many (salaried) folks dont know what they’re getting paid this month/year? I’m in law as a second career and it’s still baffling to me that we end each fiscal year not having a clue what we’re going to make year after year.

How is hiring in litigation groups right now (NYC)? Junior looking for a change.

Got called out by a fellow associate for not “pulling my weight” on a deal when I’ve been drowning and billed 250 this month (buried in other deals) relative to their 160. 🤪

Is it a red flag if during an interview the partner asks how your billable hours were last year? Could be just a standard question but I wasn’t sure.. I’ve never been asked that before in interviews.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone at Patterson Belknap, especially the tax group, about their experience and insights. I wonder how different (if at all) the work itself, work/life balance, comp, and other aspects are there, compared to a typical big law experience… many thanks in advance!

Is Cooley a sweatshop?

Laid off and feeling too depressed to keep going. Have a month left on the website. I’m too depressed to be anxious at this point. Any kind words would be helpful
