Anyone up for a date this weekend in Pune. M29 here.

Kya pata maa ko bahu mil jae.. 🙊🙈

Decided to start dating again - realized I would need to tell some poor guy some day soon that I moonlight as a dominatrix 😣 I make too much

Can’t wait for Saturday to come so that my date and I can Netflix and chill, then having him sleeping over and I waking up next to him. Miss his warmth and miss giving and receiving cuddles. I like the feeling of having certain people making you behave in a more tender way. I’ve been literally longing for that moment for the week as I’m on a boring PMO case. Romance is not lost between gay guys! :)

Men- if you text a girl you “like” but have never asked out on a date that you missed her and she responds “you could ask me out on a date”. How would you respond?

“You have a good looking face. But your body is absolute junk."

Is there such a thing as over texting the person you like?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

I'm on a beach in Florida and a guy walks up to me and is like "you're from Texas, huh?" And I'm like "yeah, how'd you know"? And then I realize how he knew...

Anyone ever end things w a dude you only went on one date with bc he wouldn’t stop hitting you up after and have the guy ignore you in public and unfollow you after? I don’t see what the big deal is. I was super nice about it. I get everyone hates rejection but he was doing a lot.

Any one moved from mid tier cpa firm to a 65 lawyer law firm?

I'm trying to figure out how to pivot out of my current job. My department is in utter chaos, which has just become completely unmanageable. I'm looking for front-end web design work, and work from home. I am a strong designer and basically set up landing pages for large companies on a proprietary CMS in our company. If anyone knows of places I could apply? I'm not trying to reinvent myself as I do artwork on the side and would rather grow that business and get out of the chaos of fortune 500.

Need to relay to client that we are being delayed because of their request to utilize different tooling.
Anyone has boilerplate message they recommend?

Who should get my loyalty? United or American?

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.

Hi Fishes,

Can someone refer me for Cloud Security - Prisma job opportunity

My partner is looking into going back to school for a masters in sustainability management. He is looking at a program through the Harvard Extension School Sustainability Management certificate. I’m wondering if anyone has done this? Or recommends a program they hear good things about? Preferably online so we don’t have to move! TIA!

Hi Fishes,

Looking for a job referral for Production Support L2/L3 role.
I have 6 years of experience.

Do let me know if any openings.

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while. Post covid, I love my work-life balance but I'm never out. I can't meet people sitting at my desk, and I have no local coworkers to pull me out of the house for happy hour.

Is it possible to get your notice period shortened from 3 months.i have 15 carried forwarded annual leaves from last year.

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

I’m wondering if you’ve heard this before: “You don’t seem like a lawyer.”

Without context, this might read like an insult. However, it is normally quite the opposite.

What does it mean to “not seem like a lawyer?”

How can we break the negative stereotypes of our profession?

Just found out I will be taking two depositions in the near future. These are not key witnesses but I am still nervous. I’ve only been licensed since October of last year and still feel like I have no clue what I’m doing half the time. Any deposition tips?

How long did you have to wait from last round interview until offer? (Public sector)

I’ve been with firms for 6 years. I struggle (not that I’m not intellectually capable of doing this job), I just hate the detail oriented nature of this industry. Everything gets scrutinized so carefully and most things I stayed up late for doesn’t matter.

I just got PIP talk and they are pushing me out next year. I’m kinda relieved. I want to leave law completely and be someone on the operation side. Eventually I want to be an COO.

How do I get there from here?

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

How much time is acceptable to bill to admin per day?

I use timers to keep track of my billable hours, but many senior associates and partners have told me that they just estimate their time. What’s the best method? How do you even accurately estimate?

I am having one of those days where I regret everything. I have been to 3 different law offices and I hated all of them. I’m wondering what my future is going to look like. Where do I go from here??

Anyone else in Biglaw real estate finance? Currently a junior at an AmLaw 100. Trying to assess what is a normal workload and set of responsibilities for someone my level.

All of my experience is in litigation but I think I might like real estate more. Any advice on how to sell myself to a real estate firm?

How honest can you be with a recruiter? If you are looking for a job that will help tee you up for an in-house position, is it okay to say that? I'm meeting with a recruiter for the first time later today and I'm unsure about the whole process...

About to turn down a job offer that would nearly double my salary after speaking to several former associates of the firm and hearing some not so great things. The word “sweatshop” was used multiple times yet I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. This is truly “you can’t pay me enough to be part of that” in action. I am betting that I can get the same money at a place with a better culture - hopefully I am right!

Is there a market for lawyers to add expertise In crisis management or reputation management? My goal is to counsel clients on how to respond to media inquiries without saying or posting something detrimental to a potential litigation while still maintaining communication with their client base. If so, how to break into that industry? Courses? Books? Certifications?

At your firm, absent extenuating circumstances, where is the line drawn between “paralegal work” and “attorney work”? For example, who would draft a standard form motion for extension of time?

I was hired by client to draft a form MSA and SOW (the client is a freelance HR coach). She showed her form to another freelance HR coach and now they want to use the form I made for my client and my clients asking if that’s ok? Any advice?

Well I learned my lesson. Never work with Wells Fargo. Any good banks I should switch to?

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Noob plaintif-side L&E lawyer here—how long should I wait for defense counsel to stall on a demand letter before I start getting ready to file?

Put in my notice 2 weeks ago. Last days is this Friday. Partner I work for has been a total dick. Multiple other partners have reached out to say they’re sorry to see me go. Partner I work for has since been a bigger dick. Seriously tempted to tell him off and/or actually be honest in my exit interview with HR. I know that means “burning a bridge”, which is bad. Someone please talk me out of it. Genuinely.

When lateraling to another defense firm, is it necessary to show billable hours at current firm?
