^this. Mine was put in my offer letter, but the firm also has a policy on reimbursements online. I submitted a reimbursement and it didn’t come out of my biz dev amount since the firm pays for it. I would ask the legal recruiter you worked with, or whoever onboarded you!

Thank you, good idea. Will do!

Generally for the jurisdiction where you sit, and maybe another if there’s a business reason for them picking up the tab.

Who do I reach out to? Benefits?

The firm usually reaches out to your or explains it to you in your offer letter.

I know there are some creative professionals in here so thought I'd ask. We're trying to call in to my friends internet radio show and change our voices so he won't know it's any of us. Any app or device we can use that would allow us to call his number and have us change our voices? We're hoping a girl can sound like a guy and vice versa.

Is anybody in the house at one of the big four accounting firms? They keep advertising legal counsel roles and I'm just curious about what the work is like/ what the work life balance is. I'm primarily interested in non tax rolls if they exist in that organization

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms. But now that I’m more senior and my friends are making partner, it sounds like it’s a lot more common than I thought and happens at firms where I wouldn’t expect it. Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?
