People whu recently left EY GDS and now get to know about their retention bonus.
Kesa lag rha h, share your emotions guys.

Folks! I am in a dilemma. I am preparing for GMAT and will be giving it sometime in the next year. But I am really scared with asking for recommendations :(
As I am in the IT sector,so far,most of my managers have been assholes 🥺🥺 They might not even agree to write me a recommendation letter as they will fear that I will leave the organization.
In this case, how do I ask for one? Is there any Indian B-School that do not require recommendation letters for their 1 yr mba courses?

I have put down my papers but the HR and the director are trying very hard to retain me. Even though I have made it very clear that I am not happy with the counter, they still want me to have another round of discussions. This is becoming irritating now.

Has anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area gone to court on a CV19 related custody issue during shelter in place? I’d like to know how courts are handling disputes. (I’m aware of the courts’ posted guidelines, but I want to know how they’re ruling)

Any good recommendations for office chair and desk for WFH?

NYC F associate here. I haven't seen any female partners in my group actually come into the office in recent months so I genuinely don't know who to ask. For an institutional client meeting, is a black sheath dress with 1.5" black or nude heels and either beige or black blazer acceptable? Also what color combinations work best? I legit don't fit into my suits anymore so I'm hoping that's sufficient but wanted to make sure biz casual wasn't too casual.

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child. I have 5+ years of experience in life science (bench top, pathology in a hospital, startup, and most recently clinical research). I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

How did everyone get their first strategic job? Seems no one wants to interview someone that hasn't had the previous title of strategist despite me outlining my relevant experience in my cover letter.

My boss is very cold. Would it be weird for me to ask if I’m overly familiar or otherwise responsible fit the distance?

Can someone provide some examples of what BigLaw transactional L&E consists of?

How much caffeine did you consume today to get you competent to practice law? I'll go first 700 mgs. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

What was the hardest class year for you? I used to think first year was by far the hardest but now I’m a third year and I’m really feeling the pressure to step up. I work in finance and at this point I’m expected to handle closing documents, manage first years, draft some portions of major docs, etc. I feel like I’m always frazzled, constantly second guessing if I handled something correctly and anxious to answer calls from clients/OC. The worst part is I think people can tell I’m a mess....

Not law related - I’m looking to buy a new SUV and have been considering the Toyota Highlander Premium and the Lexus RX350l. I wanted 4x4 because I live in the snow, but have been told that AWD should be okay. I also have a 5-year old so I want something with a bit of room, but I don’t need a huge SUV. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Any firm in California still hiring junior Corporate M&A/PE associates?

True or False: If a partner sends perfect emails (spelling, grammar, and punctuation), they ain’t really a boss. In other words, more short hand = more of a boss.

Would you move to a firm with higher billing requirement but in a practice group that you are interested in or stay where you are and be bored?

This strike at Facebook is messing up my numbers. Has anyone else been in a situation like this? They were a major source of work for me. What can I do?

When is the best time to mention a clawback provision to a new firm? During the interview when they ask “how soon can you start”? Or after you get an offer?

The clawback doesn’t necessarily prevent me from starting ASAP, but it does affect my start date in some respect & I’d definitely try to negotiate with the new firm to pay all/some of it. For context, the signing bonus is low/mid 5-figures. Thoughts?

Is it true that some firms fire law clerks if they fail the first attempt (not second) of the bar exam?

Greenberg Traurig in Sac/SF? Specifically L&E department

I have been with big law for 6 years and I really don’t want to be a lawyer anymore (I hate the idea that my day is sitting in front of a computer and make sure everything is 100% perfect).

What would be my exit options?

Any thoughts on Lowenstein Sandler’s M&A / Finance practices?

A reminder: use the slow times to catch up on life, rather than wiling away the hours sitting at your desk waiting for emails to come in. This last week was my slowest in years, but used it to clean and organize my place, vehicle, and get the nursery ready for our first child. Time well spent.
