Can anyone provide insight on the work life balance of tech transactions practice area in big law? Is it as unpredictable/ intense as corporate? How often do you work evenings/weekends?

I'm considering a move from my current practice area-- corporate (mostly cap markets)-- to another big law firm in order to transition to technology transactions. I am tired of the intense deal lifestyle and also want to go to tech transactions for better in house opportunities sooner.

How is warner bros discovery client in globallogic in terms of work life balance

I have been in the pet industry all my life for 15 years. I have worked my way up through to upper management of a store. I have always been very emotionally invested in my job and I have always pushed myself to the breaking point trying to do the best I possibly can. I am made to work in very unsafe environments, made to do two managers jobs at once and not get paid for it, and made to feel lazy whenever I take PTO. I think it’s time for a career path change, but what now??

How’s everyone’s workload recently? I worked like 10 hours in the past week, in consulting.

For those at MBB prior to COVID and were married with kids at the time, how did you juggle your family responsibilities with the demands of the job? Asking as I’ll want to have a realistic discussion with my spouse when travel picks back up again (perhaps 2022).

How’s your work-life balance at the moment? Do you think research positions allow enough time for us to spend with friends and family?

The work-life balance sucked this year as everyone is forcing to go back to offices. I'm really contemplating on going freelance but I've not heard many freelancing Project Managers, is this rare? Is this a niche, do I need to have a portfolio of clients? (Looking to avoid work drama and seeing if it's worth it before calling on stress leave?)

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.

I'm up for a raise soon and I'm at 43,000 a year. Anyone have any advice on what I should ask for?

Is anyone thinking of moving jobs and finding full time placements elsewhere? Or at least moonlighting until this is done? If so how are you finding opportunities?

I started at a v100 firm in NY 6 months ago from a regional firm in the transactions group. Since work has been slow I haven’t had too many opportunities to do good work for partners but I feel I have when given the chance.

However, one partner who is notoriously difficult has given me a number of assignments and is an extreme micromanager and know it all. Now when I get an email from him my stomach drops as nothing positive ever comes out of it. Does anyone have advice on coping with this?

People that define their identity so much by their career are the absolute worst (law, medicine, ibanking, etc.). In my personal experience, physicians are the most stuck up that consistently brag about high incomes and look down on other careers.

Hey all - first year associate here… I’ve met my hours requirement for this year (requirement is 1900 and am currently at around 2050 with billable hours - approx. 2160 with non billable admin hours) and I am just tired. Is it okay to just “disappear” during the holidays (thanksgiving week, week of Christmas) and let partners and senior associates know I am not available? At this point I don’t care about making more money - I just want to sleep, read a good trashy book, and cuddle with my dog.

How are people able to say that they’re “on track to bill X hours” this year? I feel like there are always ebbs and flows with work so I feel confused when people rely on past hours as an indicator.

What’s the rationale behind not stating your return date in your out of office reply? Power move or some greater purpose being served here?

How do you bill when you’re just drained and operating slowly? Stop the timer and compose yourself or just charge for all the time you spend slogging through those late in the day matters?

Is there a way to get an idea of a firm’s turnover trends?

I saw someone one of these bowls say being VP at a bank/hedge fund is no big deal for someone in finance and is nothing to brag about. Is this so? If so, why? I’d never heard that before

This bowl is so wholesome. I enjoy the stark contrast between people who are in big law because it's what they want and those who are because they feel like they are forced to be.

I’ve worked until 4am the past two nights and gotten up at 8am. I can tell the partner is gearing up to have me pull another late night tonight. Any advice on how to decline and get some sleep tonight? I’m making so many careless errors and feel like 💩
