Currently on leave and returning soon. Is returning and then working for 1.5 month before quitting seen as horrible? I'm just worried this is too short and thinking about working possibly for 2 or 3 months before quitting. Or does this not matter at all? I can leave anytime fyi - just feeling bad.

What was your first job? Any advise on how to deal with pressure at work?

Hi guys need some advice on job offer -

Applying for Senior I
-Big 4 $90K plus bonus
-A top 10 firm $95k plus bonus

The HR from the top 10 firm said they have more WLB than big 4. But I think Big 4 has more opportunities than smaller firms. Which one should I choose? Thank you guys.

If there's any other industry you could do analytics in, what would you choose? I'd really like to work in tech, more interesting, better pay, and I've heard if you can get over the wlb it's worth it.

For those who experienced burn out and changed jobs, which job allowed you to feel better and changed your situation ? Did you get a job with less hours / low stress ? I’m a senior auditor looking for a change. I’m experiencing a burn out and too much stress. Thanks

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable

Hi Fishes,

Does anybody have an idea about the company Marlabs for a SAP consultant. Does it has any good career growth and wlb.

I work at a large Fortune 50 company. Getting more and more frustrated about endless bureaucracy, constant political power struggles, lack of resources for basic compliance programs, and constantly playing whack-a-mole for issues we should be proactively addressing. Left BigLaw for better work life balance but not finding it. Is that because I’m in BigCorp? Do the same issues prevail in smaller private companies?

WANT TO SHARE

I have been working with startups since 5 yrs. Always had to rush and encouragement to do things and the SPOC were responsive.

Here I feel no rush, everything is so chill and the work isn't that recognizing. Otherwise all good.

Kindly share your THOUGHTS

A direct competitor just posted a VP position 1 level above my current position. Currently my company does not have a VP and I report to a SVP. I currently do the job of a VP. I've asked to be made a VP and know that it will eventually happen but my leadership is dragging their feet. How do I broach this topic without sounding like I'm threatening to jump ship?

Looking for birthday dinner recs. My wife and I used to be huge foodies pre-pandemic/baby, and this is first time we’ve eaten out in a while. Looking for newish spot (within last 2 years) and spacious outdoor seating. Thanks in advance!

Our 3 year old cat got diagnosed with a heart issue. Genetically weak heart muscle or something apparently and we won’t know how long he has - could be weeks, could be 1-2 years.. 😞 just hope he doesn’t feel any pain. I love our kitties but it just is rough when they are sick and there’s nothing you can do.

I have my first oral presentation at a conference coming up and I’m nervous about what questions I might get. Any advice on how to prepare and calm my nerves?

Got the confirmation from lti saying that i have cleared all the rounds as senior BA. Since i received confirmation from them i have opted out of all the other offers. But now the recruitment team is saying that the requirement is on hold, we can't release an offer letter. This is very bad as i am not struck with out any offer and my LWD in my organization is 11 dec

When is your office closed for the holidays?

Just accepted a position as a Claim Specialist (Salaried) at State Farm in Atlanta. Start date is pushed out couple months from now. Does anyone know if the company pays twice a month, or biweekly? Forgot to ask the recruiter.

How do you keep your teeth white? I drink at least 6 coffees everyday so my teeth have gone from toothpaste-commercial-grade white to a drug-addict-grade yellow. I don’t have the time and money to have them whitening once every month.

When you're leaving your firm in a few months, but haven't yet given notice, how hard do you fight to keep your hours up? I'm not looking to coast, just wondering how worried I should be if I slip below 160 hours this month and if it's normal to slow down on hours when you know your departure is imminent.

How many mandatory days per week does your firm require and is it enforced?

I’m a first year associate and perpetually concerned I’m going to get fired bc I feel like my work product isn’t at the level it should be. Does anyone have an idea of how easy/ hard it is to get fired?

For all those fully remote fishes out there, does your firm require you to be barred in the state of your residence, of the office to which you are aligned, or both? Specifically wondering how west coast offices are handling this.

Is it typical to give your old legal assistant a gift when you lateral?

Corp/securities associate and lateraled to a 40-50 attorney firm earlier this year. I’m a non traditional candidate and considered a 3rd or 4th year and make $200k base. Waiting on raise/bonus info but can’t help but wonder if I could be making $100k more at a larger firm and working similar hours. I put a premium on the people I work with and have gotten a good rhythm here as well as built up a good rep so far. For reference I have billed avg. 180-200 hrs a month. Any insights?

How is V&E Houston?

Has the general attitude towards tattoos changed at all in biglaw? I hardly see tattoos on any of the older associates/partners but it seems the newer associates also don’t have them/wear clothing that shows any

How much does a letter of recommendation from your current employer help when lateraling? I currently work at a top-tier regional firm in a small market (1M metro)and I’m moving to a large market. There aren’t any biglaw firms in my current market, but associates at my regional firm regularly lateral to biglaw in big markets. I’ve applied to biglaw firms in the larger market but not much luck. I’m well liked at my firm. Will a letter of rec from my employer be a significant boost to my app?

Just got an iPad and looking for app recommendations, particularly for marking up PDFs. Would also appreciate any other recs/advice y’all have for a new iPad user. Thanks in advance!

Everyone, I am very sad. That is all. Thank you, and have a good night.

If we survive this thing with our jobs, does it mean we will be expected to not take vacation for the rest of the year?
