My Current CTC is 18.5 LPA. YoE 12yrs.
How much CTC can I ask during an HR interview for a bigdata engineer in UST global. What should be the expected CTC per current standard. Dear fishes, please help.

Hi, after each interview, the recruiting agency will call me to get feedback and ask me if we're still good on X salary?

What's a good way to not agree on a set number on these calls until I get my offer?

What should be the salary slab for 9.5 years experience working as a Test lead and having good knowledge in automation testing and E2E testing?

Why aren't adulterers tried in court as a form of custodial voyeurism? How are there no legal consequences whatsoever, when there used to be a death penalty? Did you know US Military members are held fully accountable and it's illegal for them? Why should the rest of society be any different?

How many spark points have you got since the initiative began. I've received about 2200 spark points till date.

I have a lot of exposure to big tech and sp500 across my brokerage account and retirement accounts. I recently opened a Roth IRA and have 6k in it to invest. I know the default strategy is to invest in a fund that tracks sp500 but I do that everywhere else regularly. Is there anything else like VYM you recommend? I’m targeting dividend growth ones since it’s a Roth IRA ..

Where are you all from? I’ve noticed most fishers in this group are new to Miami. Curious to know where this crew comes from.

I’m somewhat local, living in Miami for the past 8 years straight from São Paulo, Brazil

Month end! How many hours did we bill for March? And how many of us entered it all in the last two days 😬🙋🏻‍♀️

Am I shooting myself in the foot by not including a cover letter in my in-house applications?

If you’re ever feeling like BigLaw is pigeonholing your career, just remember that Rep. Liz Cheney started her career as a project finance associate at White & Case from 1996-1999.

The struggle is particularly real today

1st year. I have a decent amount of client email/phone interaction. One partner frequently asks me to communicate with clients, and the partner tells me to ask if I have any questions before emailing the client.

I almost always respond to the partner with my thoughts and ask partner whether P agrees with my thoughts, prior to emailing client. At what point should I be skipping that step and just email client? I’m worried about making a mistake, but most of the time P agrees with my “draft”

Any insight into Robins Kaplan? IP lit, considering a lateral there. Maybe a bit small for the Big Law bowl but hey Big Law is an arbitrary designation anyway.

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?
When they are mid or senior level?

Thoughts on Shearman & Sterling Dallas and STB Houston?

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

I’m a 6th year funds associate at a v10 and thinking of lateraling. Anyone have any thoughts on Willkie funds? How are hours right now? Culture? What kind of signing bonus are they offering these days?

Does anyone have any insight on the firm Husch Blackwell? Specifically their private wealth group.

(I’m not really sure since I’m a first generation lawyer) I know clerking is generally considered a great opportunity and learning experience and prestigious (?) Is it also the case working for a Senator?

Arguing my first motion to dismiss in a couple weeks. Any and all advice welcome. This will be my first time arguing anything. Thank you!

Is it common for transactional groups to just add specialists onto deals without a heads up, or asking if we have capacity? My team is always asked first, but today, got invited to a dataroom of some deal I have never heard of.

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).

Name and shame the firms doing stealth lay-offs.

How long do you think one could coast billing between 1700 and 1800 hours? Assuming your work is quality and people generally like you (which feedback so far indicates is the case).

To the lender counsel that forgot to mention they needed original signature pages for a deal that closed early this year and decided to chase and harass me a day before thanksgiving and a day after thanksgiving multiple times. F*ck you. I don’t know what is driving your lack of courtesy but I have represented the same bank before and know their usual original signature requirement.

Hypo: client says they agreed to use a prior agreement another firm drafted as precedent for a new deal prior to engaging you. It’s maybe the most poorly written contact you’ve ever seen. Most material terms are arguably there, but it’s convoluted and you’d be embarrassed to put your name on it. There’s clearly a better way to draft it. To what extent do you re-write certain sections?

So sad to see my beloved Cooley becomes a laughing stock. I still remember the day that a classmate of my 7-year-old thought I am a food delivery guy. Can't blame him cause I was wearing a jacket with a large COOLEY logo. He just learned the word "Cooler" the day before.
