Do you use iPad for work? If so, how? I’m a senior associate. The partner I work for recently got an iPad with cellular data and recommended the set up to me. He uses it to take calls, review documents and do emails especially while travelling. He also takes the iPad to physical meetings now instead of his laptop, to look at meeting materials & take notes. I’m not sure how useful an iPad would be to an associate, given I don’t think it’s the right tool to do mark ups on. Thoughts?

Hey fellow 🐠, what do you think of making a fishbowl to meet up with fellow consulting professionals in the same city? To grow our network, get some more insights etc.? Would anyone be interested?

I’ve reached a point in my career where I want to take a step back and do an easy job just for the medical insurance benefits. Any ideas what I could do (or who is hiring)? Would contracts manager/admin/specialist be an easy job?

Has anyone ever lateraled and had to clarify/dispute the terms of their bonus payment with the new firm?

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

Looking for some encouragement. Has anyone here received an overall negative performance review or has been put on a development/performance plan and was able to turn things around for the better?

Is "attention to correspondence" an appropriate description for the 17 hour block bill yesterday? Asking for a friend.

Hot practice areas for laterals?

Does anyone know the salary for a 3rd year junior associate at Squire Patton Boggs?

Stop asking if we can unionize after being asked to work over the weekend.

Kasowitz Benson - what is your opinion of them?

What questions should senior associates be asking to get a better assessment of partnership prospects? For context, I’m eligible this year as an 8th year, but it’s more common to make it around years 10-11 at my firm (only equity partners), and I’m trying to determine whether to stick around or lateral before I’m too senior. I’m in a smaller group that historically promotes only one new partner every few years, and there are several others also eligible. Any questions I should avoid asking?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

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.

Do people proactively begin finding work when they know they may be low on work soon? Or do they just wait until they actually don’t have enough work to fill their days? Have a larger project that is winding down and my main case is slowing down a bit so I anticipate potentially needing to find more work soon, and I was unsure if that was something I needed to worry about.

Insight on Kilpatrick Townsend NY?

Was interviewing with a firm and soon after receiving an offer, learned of bad culture/toxic partners in the practice group from a couple of associates who recently lateraled from the firm. I turned the offer down. A partner that I clicked with while interviewing reached out asking me why I turned down the offer. Should I be honest and relay what I heard?

People from K&E keep liking my posts, and I don’t know if that means there’s something wrong with me or if there are really just that many K&E lawyers.

When they are mid or senior level?

Are there any books or other resources that mid levels/seniors/counsel/partners on here have found helpful for the project management / managing junior attorney aspects of your job?

I am not finding a lot of stuff written for lawyers specifically , but there is a lot directed at “managers” in business generally that I imagine could be applicable.
