Did you ever had this feeling of not fitting in? People (including non-legal staff) in my team just ignore me. I know I made some mistakes, but resenting a trainee for that reason seems unfair. Just went to farewell drinks of an associate and only two persons out of 14 actively engaged conversation with me. With the rest I had this feeling of forcing everything and of being the awkward one. People were referring to funny stories on cases we’re working on and that I never heard about.

My boss uses my first name in conversations with me a lot…like when starting a sentence. It feels like an intimidation tactic or manipulative. Can I say anything?

Thoughts on wearing (not obnoxious) college rings (not HYP, etc.) to the office? I feel like the practice varies heavily school by school. Is there a certain where it becomes less acceptable?

What's the dress code at the company? Is it office formals ... E..g. shirt and pants?

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

Question for the ladies: I'm getting sick of spending so much time getting ready for work. Would it really matter if I tried less (eg wore my hair in a bun everyday, wore less makeup)?

If you’re not caught up your work and have not been behind for sometime— how would you want your boss to tell you he has higher expectations?

Is "right hand man" a commonly used expression in consulting? I heard a partner introduce one of their team members as such. I only guessed what that meant, but had not heard of this expression before. Is this an appropriate phrase to describe a team member?

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

Good? Bad? Ugly?
How was your experience with a manager or supervisor of the opposite gender, that you would like to share?

I’m starting to work in the IB division in NYC soon. Was wondering what’s the dress code in the office. Would Business casual be fine?

Is there any not very expensive black tie gown shops near Toronto downtown? New to the city and office party has black tie dress code!

I started going to work in the office 2x per week now and there are a few (male, senior) colleagues who comment on my appearance, I.e. pointing out I have makeup on/wear office attire or not.

I always come back with a comment to shut them up in a humourous way (haha), usually something like "thank god we're just talking about me and not your looks, Adam".

But I think it's beyond unprofessional and really annoys me.
Why do some men think they are entitled to comment on a woman's looks?

If you could give any advice to junior client / brand-side marketers on how to best work with their agency partners, what would it be?

Hello folks, what’s the dresscode in strategy consulting (Big4) when you are at the customers vs in the office? Joining in a few weeks and unsure whether I need to buy more fancy clothes…

Ps also to create a reference cell to be able to change the file name and run macro so that it can use the reference cell to find the file and copy..

Gonna be in Denver for a couple of days in mid-July, anyone down to play tour guide? Can promise flirty conversation + cocktails at the very least…perhaps more if the vibe feel right. 30 M, tall and, dare I say, handsome…in case that matters 😊

I raised a transfer request for my PF since I left Wipro a while ago.
It's submitted, but I got a form 13 where it has place to sign and google says we need to submit it to previous employer within 10 days.

Can anyone pls let me know what needs to be done after raising an online PF transfer request.

My work efficiency today is like 20 percent and dropping by the hour. Dont know why but the ole thinker just is not booting up this afternoon.

I don’t know if this job is for me. I get so anxious about every little mistake or thing I missed and just want to cry every day. Every time I hear about a possible recession it just makes things worse. Do you eventually stop making mistakes? Stop caring? I can’t live like this 😭

PwC is no longer accepting day-1 CPT! I got to know last week from attorney and HR.

Any placement agents here looking for new clients? Feel free to DM me!

Hello everyone! I’m a Site Director/Lead Clinical Research Coordinator with 3.5 years research experience looking for a remote opportunity at a CRO. Any referrals or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all - first year associate here… I’ve met my hours requirement for this year (requirement is 1900 and am currently at around 2050 with billable hours - approx. 2160 with non billable admin hours) and I am just tired. Is it okay to just “disappear” during the holidays (thanksgiving week, week of Christmas) and let partners and senior associates know I am not available? At this point I don’t care about making more money - I just want to sleep, read a good trashy book, and cuddle with my dog.

Anyone have insight on the capital markets group for Mayer Brown, Sidley and Latham in Chicago? Would like to know about culture, workload, quality of teaching, the partners/senior associates there, whether deals are and group is mainly in NY, etc.

As a junior associate, how do you find the healthy balance to take initiative in matters as opposed to wasting billable time on something the client won’t pay for or the partner might not actually want?

I am tired of other team members not pulling their weight and having to deal with more things that on my plate. Any solution? I don’t want to snitch to the partners but am really getting sick of it

Is it true that if you have to cancel or move a vacation because of a deal / work your firm pays for the changes?

I've come to that stage in my career where I am thinking of wearing elbow pads due to typing / desk pain. This job is dumb.

Can anyone speak to working at Manatt? Specifically, at the LA office?

I know there is slight salary compression at the mid- and senior- levels, but I’m wondering if the trade off of an allegedly better culture and hours is worth it.

Also, it seems like the firm is really building out its healthcare and white collar practices. How are the opportunities for a litigator who is not all that interested in those areas?

I'm a new first year associate, almost two weeks in. Have to ask: is it normal to have almost no idea what's going on? I know my teams view me as completely clueless (which is 100% accurate), but whenever I ask for an explanation/they go over something with me, I'm still left feeling like they're speaking a different language. Is it just me? Every time I do a task I get so nervous I'm screwing up big time because it's like I'm stumbling around in the dark. What can I do to improve?

For those who want to stop defending employers - and instead represent workers in wage & hour actions - there’s an interesting opportunity in the job postings.

I’ve worked until 4am the past two nights and gotten up at 8am. I can tell the partner is gearing up to have me pull another late night tonight. Any advice on how to decline and get some sleep tonight? I’m making so many careless errors and feel like 💩

What would you include about you on your bio as a late junior associate/early mid level? I feel like it’s important to flag what you work on, but also not like you have much control over that at this stage. Anything that’s a huge accomplishment to have done as a junior just feels braggy.

I have a friend who has been at 4 firms in 6 years. She wants me to refer her to my firm (a v25) but I actually don’t think she’s a great atty and substantively isn’t experienced in the area she wants to work (wants to do tech trans but had experience in trademark prosecution and ip lit). Do I just not submit her? I would hate to work with her.

On a weekday, when can I slow down (respond in 30 mins instead of 5) or go to sleep? I’m sure it’ll depend on deal pace, but in general?

I had to hang up on a recruiter today after saying multiple times that I’m happy in my current job. So many people are searching for jobs, why do you continue bugging people who don’t need your help right now.

What is your test for being truly buried at work to the point of needing help/extensions? Specialists keep telling me they are buried but I don’t see them working on the weekends…

How do you bill when you’re just drained and operating slowly? Stop the timer and compose yourself or just charge for all the time you spend slogging through those late in the day matters?
