Cravath match Monday, dominos start to fall!???

You always hear mgrs/sr mgrs switching to industry to become a controller, but do controllers ever come into public accounting as a sr mgr or anything else??

Anyone use air table for PM? Looking for pros and cons. Thanks in advance!

Is everyone ready for Ramadan 😆🥳🙌🏽

How do you judge a low ball offer with how the market is changing? Earlier this year, you would look at comps and say this is the value. Now with rates going up and people pulling out, how do you justify the value? (View point from the buyers end)

It turns out Russia figured out what they can do with all the energy resources nobody can buy due to sanctions: Bitcoin mining

I have recently received offer from jpmc as an associate of consumer and community banking, that means job grade will be 601?

I started my in-housing adventure only a few months ago but I’m already feeling so much momentum and potential in this space versus the vibe I felt agency side, which was constant fear and anxiety.

Anyone from Deloitte working for D’s Revenue Cycle Team?

Did you make a mistake working in BigLaw? Why?

I wish I had even a tiny fraction of the energy I had when I first started this job

After leaving BL, what salary do most people settle at or is that way to general of a question?

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.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

Just lateraled into big law from a boutique corp firm. I’m a mid level. I’m struggling to understand what is and isn’t billable. Do people actually bill reading emails? How do you describe that? Anything else I should bill (and how should I describe these things) that aren’t as obviously as like actively drafting?

Any news on vedder price? I’ve heard they didn’t fire anyone during COVID but have also heard it’s a sweatshop. Any insight to their litigation team would be helpful, thanks!

Someone needs to explain to me why I need to urgently (like yesterday) explain a matter to the people running the specific part of the deal (noting to them that OC’s request is nonsense because Y) only to be copied two days later - “my colleague X will provide”.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Any fellow Georgetown Hoyas alumni wanting to go to John Carroll weekend in Nashville!?

If I am hunting for a job, is BCG Attorney Search actually worth working with? They seem to be everywhere, but something about them seems scammy.

Does anyone tell the truth in exit interviews? About to have mine and not sure whether to be honest about partners who were bullies, backwards culture, etc?

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

client has form agreements that they sent over asking us to review and “update”. Any advice on how to tackle this?

What item has been your favorite purchase for your home/apt?

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.

How do you deal with a Midlevel who tells the partner you’ll cover for them, but gives you less than 24 hours notice they’ll be gone without asking if you can cover? I helped out back on July on a deal with they were on vacation, and now every vacation since they keep adding me back on without keeping me appraised of the deal in the interim

Thoughts on recording meetings. In Texas and have ADHD. I’ve been recording internal meetings for the past couple of weeks and my work product has improved exponentially. I’m able to go back and listen to the directions over again. In law school I had a note that gave me permission to do this. Is this taboo in a firm?

Is it normal for a firm to require you to complete a conflicts check/questionnaire BEFORE they provide you an offer?
