Does anyone have any tips on being consistent with time recording? I'll have a great month of real time entries and then fall of for 2wks. I've tried writing it down, Google keeps, sticky notes, and logging the task immediately but nothing sticks. Send help.

Hi Fishes,

Those of you on Adderall—do you find that you have a harder time holding onto your thoughts when on medication? I feel much better on the medication, but I think it’s doing something to my memory.

I have overall 9.25 years of experience and relevant experience of 5.5 years in data science and Machine learning. All the offers that I get is for senior consultant (fractal, infocepts, Capco). Is it right to accept a designation of senior consultant at this experience or should I go for manager designation.

Also my current CTC is 15lpa and no one is offering me beyond 25lpa. Is it okay to accept 25lpa CTC

What are some good questions to ask during an interview to determine how efficient and up-to-date a Tax Department is being managed?

Why do people find it so hard to have different opinions for political topics??

E.g. I'm black but I'm pro immigration, pro choice, pro-social safety net and anti-gun but...

When it comes to other social issues I sometimes lean right. I don't think racism in America is as big of a deal as it is claimed to be and I have yet to see irrefutable evidence of "systemic racism" tbh I don't think it exists.

I used to be a D but I'm now independent and this "with me or against me" vibe is toxic af

Relatively new partner here. Recently, I took my eye off the ball of a small closing (assuming, incorrectly, that the senior associate was on top of things), and the client became openly frustrated with us. It all ended up fine, but I never directly apologized. (I am also a woman and hyper aware of the female tendency to over-apologize.) Do I send the client a note/call to acknowledge the shortcomings and take responsibility? Or would that be met with annoyance?

*Need some help/motivation
Planning on applying for MBA this coming cycle. Scheduled my GMAT in June. Studying for the exam now and mostly done with Quant section. I have given up quite a bit of social life to get to the point where I am now - but I feel so down. Depressed. My routine is -> Work -> work out -> study -> sleep - REPEAT. Weekend seem to be Studying all day. Getting bummed out.

Any tips/motivation to keep going? How did you guys study and stay motivated?

Founders: What was the most important (non-funding) thing you received in your Friends & Family round?

Hey quick question looking for feedback. I am currently working as a business applications analyst for a financial institution and I have an MBA in information systems management. I have an offer to start with Accenture later this year as a Senior Analyst, would it be more beneficial to take the job in consulting then go to tech or look for a position in at a tech company?

Does “non-industry” confession mean this is for Consultants only? 🤔

Hi fishes, I have been trying to switch my job from oracle from the past 9 months and no luck till now . I always wanted to work in a product company being someone who started their career in Wipro. But now I am left with less or no choice but to attend interviews for companies like hcl, capegemini. Is it going to be fine going back to service companies ? I am afraid I might never be able to get into a product company again.!

Are there State/federal (or other laws) that govern the closure of a store? The entity owns other stores and will not be dissolving. Just shutting down one of its stores.

Do you use any workflow management platforms to organize your M&A deals? Not talking about data rooms, but more actual team management (e.g. Trello, Asana, Midaxo)

Recommendations for firms to look into in South FL? I'm in Ft. Lauderdale but am open to Boca or Miami. I'm a first year associate in ID (coverage issues) but really would prefer transactional work. More importantly though, I'm looking for companies who pay relatively well (doesn't necessarily have to be market), are open to remote/hybrid work, aren't sweatshops. I'd settle for insurance work if theres good WLB & $$$ lol

My boss is asking me to “reconsider” the way I approach a client… I am in charge of this annoying corporate maintenance thing that we do for a client (I.e., making board of directors meeting to comply with some regulatory reporting required. I always end up missing deadlines. How would you reply?

Why are d&o tail policies impt and which party typically get it in place / pay for it?

How do you stay on top of multiple transactions/deals/tasks? For instance, do you have an excel with your open tasks (probably a gantt chart)? Or do you use an app to stay on top of your to do? Sometimes I feel my little handwritten to do list becomes useless and I lose track of the big picture of my transactions.

Any corporate transactional attorneys looking to make a move in NJ

Any IP litigators looking to lateral? Firm is hiring (market biglaw, openings in NY and SCV). DM if interested.

Anyone know if proxy materials are mailed out on a certain day, can the proxy can be filed with the SEC after 5:30 pm that same day and be considered ok? Rule requires proxy to be filed the same day materials are mailed or given to shareholders.

Any advice for best ways to learn to better understand/read legal contracts? I have to deal with warrants (equity) in my new role, and I struggle to understand what is actually being said. I just finished my MBA which did not have any elementals of business law/ reading contracts. Thanks!

What would you do if you knew something borderline illegal was happening at your firm, but everyone is just kind of going along with it and turning a blind eye?

How do you manage unreasonable client expectations when the client is unsophisticated? Have a client who expected her deal to close next week despite the purchase agreement not even having been finalized or discussed with the other party’s counsel and the lender not having approved the financing for the acquisition.

Has anyone transitioned from M&A to Real Estate? Feeling pretty burned out on M&A and wanting to try something different, but have limited RE experience. I’m only a 2nd year associate, so I’m hoping I’m still early enough in my career to make a change.

What do folks think of using Google Docs in lieu of Word?

How would one go about raising an issue of uneven distribution of workflow? I just don’t feel like I’m kept busy enough or staffed on enough transactions to meet budget.

How do you mentally deal with the stress of this work and these (demanding Wall Street) clients? I’m a senior m&a associate leading multiple deals and every client wants a quick turn around and response times around the clock which is impossible to keep up for each one. I feel like im not giving the best service even though I’m working late nights and weekends. I’m close to promotion but wondering if I’m not cut out for this (seeing some health affects) or if all I need is a mindset change.

For those 2-4 years in: what type of matters do you handle on your own and what do you work with a partner/sr associate on? Just curious.

Does anyone know of a private equity big law practice group that exclusively does fund line work (fund side)?

I’m a junior associate at a small boutique firm. We primarily represent lenders in small scale renewables. I’m considering applying for mid-big law firms but curious what type of work junior associates are participating in at larger firms. Our transactions are fairly turn key and in my opinion not very complex, with only the occasional curve ball. Anyone work in renewables financing or other asset based financing at a mid-large size firm willing to share an overview of your work?

I’m hoping to move to a coastal MD town in the next 1-3 years (from Philly). There don’t seem to be many job opportunities, if any. My plan B is to work remotely, but I’m worried that the available opportunities won’t allow for growth or promotion. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with working remotely in corporate law (outside of COVID of course). At the time I move I’ll have 3-5 years of experience at an Am Law 100 firm in M&A.
