Does anyone find their biglaw firm is totally lacking in any sense of humor? I feel like I work with a bunch of automatons.

How do you cope up with different websites showing different data for the same PE ratio? Is it because some take and some don't take dividends to preferred shareholders into account? What's on your take into this?

Anyone volunteering with the upcoming CFE exam this week?

Any recommendations for CA bar exam essay subjects flashcards? I already have the Critical Pass cards for the MBE, but I'm having a difficult time finding any for CA specific essay topics.

First review is coming up. Tips for survival? I fully expect it to be terrible. I am not happy here, I never have been, I don't want that to come across in the review, and I just want to make it out of the meeting with a small amount of grace. My plan is to just nod along and say thanks, will work on. I am also insanely busy right now and this is the last thing I want to deal with.

Going through a “mid”-life crisis (single 31 y.o.) and wanting to drop everything and move from ATL to NYC. Will I regret this in big law and have no life? I mainly want a more fast-paced, city vibe but want to be able to enjoy it. Do NYC associates have flexibility with WFH?

Nothing more freeing than a client that lets you pushback on Kirkland’s requests for unnecessary weekend work and calls.

Latam corporate associate here. Fully fluent in Spanish, with most work, negotiations, calls and correspondence being in Spanish. Pro tip - unless you can negotiate an agreement in another language, please don’t put it on your LinkedIn/firm profile. The clients don’t care if you can ask “where’s the bathroom” in German, and it diminishes the skills for those of us who really are fluent.

I realized recently that I can turn my “super associate” persona at any time. I had it off during covid when my kids needed me and got a bad review. So now it’s back on. I’m responding to midnight emails (and daytime ones in under 20 minutes) and getting work done the same morning. I’m spending countless hours doing edits over edits. I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔

What’s the right calendar invite subject line to schedule a call for giving notice? I am a huge fan of my firm but I’m leaving for a big upgrade. I’m very sad but this is best for me.

Partner gets upset and calls me to complain every time I don’t turn a draft within 2hrs of receiving an email. This same partner has been sitting on a draft for two weeks. How do I get myself out of this situation? I’m at capacity, working as fast as I can, and they’re stressing me out.

How good is the biglaw lateral market right now for junior associates? Especially if looking to switch practice groups? I’m at a V100/Am100 firm in NYC.

Lateral now and ask the new firm for the bonus you’d miss out on or be miserable, wait, collect the bonus at current firm and then try to get a sign on?!

Anyone else been cut out by their entire immediate family? Not financially, but emotionally. This has been extremely hard for me - I am the only one in my immediate family that has children and still, no one seems to cares.

Recent corporate laterals / candidates - how long did it take between submitting applications and hearing back from firms? Been radio silence on all of my job apps for a while and it's starting to worry me.

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.

How do you all feel about Return to Office with the delta variant now getting serious? Things look like they’re getting more serious, even with a vaccine.

Considering a move in finance from a mid-tier uk to L+W. Does anyone have insight on the uk practice wlb? Also I’m aware of their stealth layoffs during previous downturns. Would you consider it high risk to move now and be exposed to an easy sacking during the 6 months probation?

If I foresee a move to a new city in a few years, is it better to be proactive and lateral to a firm in my current city that has an office in the city I plan on moving to? I wonder if it makes sense to take advantage of the hot lateral market now, and then just switch offices instead of firms when the time comes. Thoughts?

Do y’all follow up with your boss if you submit something and they catch a mistake, and CC you on the email to correct it? Torn between acknowledging the correction and not sending pointless “sorry I missed that, thank you for pointing out why xyz should be this way”

What's your biggest struggle as a junior lawyer?

Partners, why are you always making me apologize to the office services staff for sending them things 15 minutes before the mail drop deadline? I’ve been pleading for your sign off for hours and reminded you of the mailing deadline 5 times...
