Dentons fired 30 ppl across their offices. Just heard from someone who works there

Do you have to return the sign on bonus if you get laid off, sign on period (2 years) has not yet passed. I would also like to know the firm's severance policy.

Hey Fishbowl friends, Last Thursday I got laid off from my job. I am on h1b and now I have 57 days to find a job or I will be out of status. If you or anybody in your contacts is hiring for TPM, It project manager or similar roles please forward them to me.
Any other suggestion and help is really appreciated.

If you got fired tomorrow, how long can you go without a paycheck? Assume you get 1 week of pay for every 6 months worked, and then can do unemployment after that ($425 a week)

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

I got laid off today 🥲 would appreciate anyone who can help refer UX or product designer roles. 🙏

Messed up at work and got hard feedback from my boss over email. I spoke to my boss about it and she said we’d discuss the feedback this coming week and to have a good weekend and don’t worry. I’m scared I’m getting fired but they wouldn’t tell me not to worry and to have a good weekend if I was being fried next week? It’s my first job out of college. My anxiety is through the roof :(

Hi everyone, really sorry to hear about the recent layoffs. I would be happy to refer to KPMG—please DM me if you’re interested.

URGENT: Can anyone refer me for an entry-level software engineer/ Trainee Software engineer role (Java preferred)? I need a job on an urgent basis as my current organization has asked me to put down my papers due to changed business requirements (read layoffs) and has given me 30 days to find a new job. And I would really appreciate you guys if you can provide me with any help in this situation.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys! I was just laid off from my job as a SDR right before my promotion to CSM. Im looking to get into customer on-boarding or a CSM role. I know on-boarding is more likely since I can start as entry level. Any tips or referrals?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

That moment the customer asks how your day is going and you have to decide between lying or getting fired 😂

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

How many days would I be able to stay If I Country if I quit (not fired) my job that I have a h1b for? Moving to Canada and need some time to close up shop here.

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you

How do I best prep / study up for a brandside Marketing Manager role? (My background is in agency account management)

People recruiting at FAANG/big tech right now- do you have a sense of how they’re handling equity/stocks in making offers? Stock prices are WAY through the roof and likely poised for correction... are they taking this into account when making offers on number of RSUs? Risk of joining and losing money

Can we use salesforce mobile for personal purpose like clicking photos and transfer it to another mobile

Hi all, interested in IBM and read there is an official bowl. Any chance I could get an invite to check it out? Interested in ES/iX roles but wanted to explore IBM overall too. Thank you!

What is RSM's dress code??? I feel so silly, I started during the pandemic and am headed into the office for the first time next week and realized I have no idea 🤦‍♀️

Anyone else love the movie Carnage? I feel like the lawyer (Waltz) and investment banker (Winslett) are so accurate to the personalities that you meet in our strange world.

Any insights into compensation at large labor and employment firms (e.g., Littler, Fisher, etc.) in major markets like NYC, SF, or LA?

Anyone apply to clerkships after working at your firm for a while? Any advice? Currently a second year putting out applications

Does anybody else get that anxious feeling in their chest when their workload starts to pile up? When my to-do list fills up and the timelines start to get tight I really start to seize up and I think this is how I’m going to have a heart attack in my 20s.

Does anyone know what Kirkland’s billing year is? Aka when do hours start again?

Do you have to give notice on a Friday? Why not whenever you’re able to give notice?

Thoughts on Shearman & Sterling Dallas and STB Houston?

I’m chatting with a partner next week about other offers I have from similar top tier firms and whether my current firm can match the signing bonus that I have been offered. I would stay at my current firm if they offer me the same. What is the best way to bring this up in a way that’s most effective and non-offensive?

Would you bus your colleague for being petty?

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

Does your firm let you take 28-30 December off? Many of my team members won’t be working those days and I decided last minute that I’d like to travel somewhere between Christmas and the New Year.

It's super frustrating to be "time poor".

That's seemingly just the nature of working in Biglaw.

But every day you have the option to buy back your time.

How do you buy back time?

It's simple—by saving and investing.

And you don't need to be uber wealthy to regain control of your time.

Consider this…

For those who would describe themselves as highly detail oriented, can you lay out your process for taking on an initial draft of a document?

Last day at my firm and I’m getting chased for ancillaries due in October, lol

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”

4 months in as a first year associate and missing my billables every month by 20-30 hours. (Should be billing 158, I end up around 132). I never say no to work and I’m constantly asking for more work - should I be concerned? When should I expect to bill enough?

What do firms actually look at when evaluating people for partnership? I feel like the majority of partners in my section lack organization, leadership ability, management skills, or even good client management skills. It seems more like they were just the ones that stuck around and kept billing a ton. Is this the norm?

Does anyone know when QE (or other firms ending their fiscal year in October) pay out bonuses? Need to know how long I have to do this until I can quit.

Does anyone have experience or thoughts about life after big law (whatever that means)? I'm a third year tax associate and seriously worrying whether I've chosen a practice area that is too "niche" to find something after. Do I even want to practice law? Do I just need a vacation?? Any and all insights are welcome!
