Can someone explain how firms get away with elevating first years to second year associates without paying us like it until the new year? I know it’s probably a matter of contract or fiscal years or whatever but I am still annoyed. If I’m going to get the elevated expectations, I expect elevated pay 😭

Hi, I’m looking to switch into marketing (entry level), as consulting is not aligned with my skill set/passions. Does anyone know of any ad agencies in LA that have good work-life balance, good pay, PTO, great culture, training? Your help means more than you know!!! Looking to do informational interviews and try to network my way in, as I feel the barrier to entry was much harder than anticipated. Anything helps, thank you so much!

Looking at a complete pivot into a business analyst or even into a technical software role, but still trying to work out where to start.

Coming from an enterprise sales role and before that enterprise marketing. I've got a minor in accounting so have (very) basic formal commercial knowledge.

Would you recommend reaching out to recruiters to get an idea, completing a few online courses or building up my skillset on the side to eventually transition? I've accepted that there will be a paycut.

If a job tells you the base salary range for a position is $95k to $110k, how much more can you realistically ask for? Does anyone have an experience where they negotiated a salary over the initial salary range max?

What are some exit ops, from Deloitte tech consulting for a C/SC in Toronto? Also expected salary increases?

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

Hi everyone,

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?

Hi all!

I'm a UK pharmacist hoping to qualify and work in the US. Is it still worth doing or any tips in general? I've read on Reddit there's a surplus of Pharmacists in the US. What are your views on that?

Thanks!

Anyone else bummed to see so many clients getting outbid? So many awesome people who deserve the house of their dreams that just can't get anywhere with today's market. It's rough.

Thoughts on K&L Gates corporate department?

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 🥲

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

Mostly just here to that it’s tough dealing with time differences for int’l clients... any tips on being appropriately responsive in the evening? I’m ET and the clients are all over Asia and Europe

What does a junior associate do on internal investigations?

Associates, do you want to be copied on emails to service providers/vendors (like CSC, CT, etc)? My thought is you get a billion emails everyday and don’t need more, but maybe I’m wrong?

1st year business law (solicitor) wanting to transition to comm lit. Tips?

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

I was happy about the raise, then realized I've been billing close to 80 hours a week for three weeks straight. I don't need a raise. I need a vacation. Ugh.

Partners - what was the most stressful year of your career? The year before you made partner? Your first year of partnership? The year(s) you or your partner gave birth?

When does the recruiter-candidate relationship really end? Everyone says ~6 months but is that 6 months of radio silence? Or is that 6 months from when you authorized to submit apps. Do you have to reapply after 6 months? Nothing is really clear. And what’s to stop someone from just terminating the relationship and reapplying by themselves. If it ever comes up, can’t you just explain that it didn’t work out with the recruiter?

Advice/tips welcome to maximize hours for trademark prosecution?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

Is there a way to export time entries from TR’s 3e Workspace?

Would love to hear thoughts on this one. Asking your firm to make sure the hotels at retreats stock quality 0.0 beer or other sober-curious-friendly options. Super progressive or super needy?

Is your firm treating 12/26 and 12/27 as firm holiday since the 24th and the 25th are during the weekend this year? Of course client demands would dictate whether people will be working, but curious what the official policy is. For what it’s worth, my firm treated the day after thanksgiving as holiday and I didn’t have to work for the whole day.
