Hi Everyone,

I am working as Test lead now and I am looking to switch my company. But most of the companies not considering my profile stating that my Notice period is 90 days. I badly need to change my company due to financial situation.. Can anyone share any suggestion or refer my profile???

Wanted some clarification about TCS salary structure Job level offered is C3B

1) Monthly performance pay is 9.25 percent of CTC. Recruiter is saying this is fixed salary. Is this component always fixed or there are scenarios when company can deduct this? Even if one is on bench, is this fixed?

2) Performance Bonus / Quarterly variable is 12.7 percent of CTC. Is this too high or standard for all people at C3B level?

3) Together both make variable 22% of CTC. Is it normal or too high?

Best way to pass az 304 exam in a week?

Anyone else sick of equity partners constantly telling their practice groups that the market is cooling off and everyone should step it up? I almost forwarded him the 5 recruiter/firm emails I received while on our weekly practice group call. Hilarious how firms are trying to reclaim the in control narrative with veiled threats.

After clerking, my BF recently accepted an offer from and joined a V50 firm (been there a few weeks). Shortly before his start date, he heard back from a V5 firm (one he’s wanted to join for a while) and just got an even better offer. Practice groups at each firm are also different.

The office he joined for the V50 firm is in City A. The office for the V5 firm is in City B (where V50 firm also has an office).

How should he break the news to the V50 firm to minimize reputational risk, etc.?

I’m pretty sure colleagues at my firm are inflating their billable hours. Is this the norm? I suspect many of you will think this is obvious and/or that I’m naive but wtf? I find hitting 2200 is tough even with a good sized work load. Am I just expected to play the game? I don’t want to sound self-righteous but if most are lying just to make the requirement, then maybe the requirement should be lower.

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

1st year associate working on my first private fund formation matter! Any tips on how to be an asset to the team while combating the learning curve? I really want to continue to work with this team so I want to make a great first impression!

What role would have a better QOL, career versatility, intellectual stimulation, and income trajectory-corporate tax in-house role or a T&E partner with a law firm (boutique or Vault 100/Am law 200)?

I’m aware of family office roles for T&E folks that are hybrid investing/tax/legal roles with tremendous upside (high six figure income with reasonable hours) and I’m not sure if once you go tax in-house, you’re pretty much a tax in-house guy forever (maybe rare pivot available to finance C-suite)

Anyone on this board hunt and fish? Being a transactional attorney in December certainly ruins the possibility of getting out

Anyone know anything about what it’s like to work plaintiff-side? Would it be dumb for someone with stellar credentials to leave biglaw for plaintiffs’ side work?

Nobody has really ever explained much about this side of private practice to me. From what I can tell based on my experience:
(1) their cases are usually really weak (maybe my biglaw defense-side bias)
(2) their lawyers tend not to be as highly credentialed
(3) would offer better experiences for junior litigators

Anyone in Willkie corporate know what these “certain initiatives” are going to be to attract and retain corporate associates and improve quality of life? Copying Goodwin with paid vacations I suppose?

I lateraled six months ago and it’s not for me. My mental health is non-existent and I have a substantial amount of savings. Am I crazy to just leave and try and focus on getting back to normal for a while? Would a medical leave be warranted or is it best to just resign?

Ideas on what to get with tech stipend? I already have somewhat of a set up so nothing is springing to mind. Would appreciate any and all ideas 💡

Is it a good sign that you were invited to be a leader in an affinity group at your firm? Or is it just an invitation to input free labor? 😂

Any senior associates or of counsel out here that regularly bill 1700-1800 hours and survive without getting pushed out? Or am I the only one?

Do you reply to client emails saying thank you? If so, what do you say?

“You’re welcome” sounds too formal.

“No problem” sounds too informal.

“Anytime” sounds like an invitation to get requests all weekend and all night.

“My pleasure” is clearly a lie when it comes to most legal work.

Working Canadian big law. Really burnt out and not enjoying work. Very understaffed and work product is suffering. Partners not hiring new associates, classic toxic work/availability expectations etc etc. have an opportunity to work with a boutique firm, make same amount making now but plus % of billables. Smaller deals and less sophisticated but opportunity to help grow the firm and be more entrepreneurial. Weekends generally protected and lower yearly target. What would you do?

Got asked to help with a “2nd Level” doc review for a huge case. Seems like the firm was begging for about 50 associates. Staffing partner asked if I can help. My hours haven’t been all that great but I just started 6 months ago. First quarter is allegedly slow based on what I heard from partners. Idk if other associates in my group were asked. I said yes since I need to make my hours this year, but I wonder if this is a bad sign? Also, I’m not in litigation.

What do you guys consider “corporate” work?

I am seeing a ton of jobs posted for corporate attorneys, but some listings don’t include any kind of focus like securities or M&A?

Would just any kind of work for a big business fall under this umbrella? Litigation is pretty obvious, so everything not under litigation?!?

Trying to craft the resume properly for that lateral move 🤪
