Fake smiles. Fake smiles. Fake smiles.

Hey! Currently working for a Fortune 50 company as a cybersecurity analyst, currently getting underpaid compared to my counterparts in the DC area market. Looking for a referral to some companies within the area such as Capital One, Microsoft, Google, AWS, and Accenture as a cyber security analyst or cyber security engineer.

Been working at this company since I graduated from college in May 2020 and interned with them as well, so I have almost over 3 years of experience in the sec industry.

Currently working as a BA for a year, looking for a new opportunity, not sure where to go or what to look for, any recommendations? Im a science major, dont have any certification.

Looking at professional development for the rest of the year - has anyone been to HLTH, and if so, did you find it valuable? Feeling very done with HIMSS and looking for something more meaningful

Thinking about leaving public accounting but not sure if I’m leaving too early. First year audit manager at one of the big4 and I think I could make it to senior manager but definitely not partner. Been highly rated since I joined the firm but I feel I won’t be learning much for the next couple of years before I leave for industry. Im also married with children.

Good gift to give my neighbor who just got engaged? They don’t have a wedding date set, so nothing with dates or pictures.

I have 3 YOE and and MS and I’m noticing that many managers and people who have 10+ yoe are very behind when it comes to their data technologies specifically, lacking in Python and cloud . Why is this with data being such a fast moving field why aren’t this people riding to the occasion of learning? Most of them just stick to SQL and excel 😅

Starting off as a Project Manager for Analytics/Data Science projects after a Masters in Analytics. I was hoping to work as a Data Analyst though, with more focus on tech skills. Anyway- if in future I want to be moving into more tech focused roles, what should my path look like? I am quite good with Sql and Python, fairly decent with ML, so is Data Eng a viable option?

PM’s lacking adequate time and task management skills is smh 🤦‍♀️

Are DPW and CSM going to raise? What are they doing?

If you’re sick of big law, live in the Pgh, PA area, and want to get into compliance consulting, HMU.

I’m a senior associate in BL and wondering if anyone experiences the same as me. Every morning without fail I have a panic attack, I feel flush, full of anxiety, overwhelmed, heart racing and feel like elephant on my chest. I lie in bed for hours and find it hard to get up until there’s a pressing need, like a call or urgent email. It’s not caused by any specific worry but more just a daily thing (and I work in a relatively good BL practice too). Anyone go through the same? How do you recover?

Anyone use their personal laptops/computers (via remote desktop apps like Citrix or RDS) instead of firm laptops at home or when traveling for work?

To all the big law associates, would you take 75% of your salary to work 75% of your current work load?

Any insight into Fried Frank litigation group? Are the hours terrible?

What is your Remote to In Office salary conversion?

For example what is $100K/year fully remote need to be for it be worth going back In Office for you? 110K? 130K? 200K? Or perhaps maybe you prefer going in office 😬

This is something I’ve thought about a lot recently.

What were signs of layoffs in 2008?

Why are firms so keen on pushing us back into the office? We’ve shown that this job can be done from home for the past two years. Definitely feeling pressure to be in the office now though

Does Google or MSFT ever hire just straight up corporate attorneys (if specifically cap markets, even better)? I’ve been stalking LinkedIn for openings but they’re always for product, privacy or commercial counsel. I can’t tell if it’s normal for corporate people to apply, get hired and be re-tooled?

Rising 4th year here. I’m happy at my current firm, but I hear another firm is planning to try and poach me. Are firms seriously giving cold offers right now? Given the lateral market and that I’m happy where I’m at and have nothing to lose, I’m thinking I’ll ask for a ridiculous signing bonus and just see what happens. Is $100k too big an ask in this market for a rising 4th year? I’ve seen talk of $300k+ signing bonuses being thrown around (likely for more senior associates obviously).

What’s the timeline for lateraling to biglaw? Im hoping to lateral from midlaw in early 2023 and am curious when I should start the process of getting my resume where it needs to go. (Healthcare M&A associate fwiw).

Best exit options with high pay?

For those of you who have recently lateraled, what was your signing bonus? Also, did the new firm match the old firm’s retention bonus? Thanks!

Looking for leads on any junior white collar openings. Thank you!

I had a baby a few months ago. I’m currently at a midsize regional firm with 1750 billables and $140k salary, that does not allow regular WFH. I’m considering lateraling to a firm that would be 1900 billables (with 200 “development” hours on top of that) but potentially allow full WFH and the salary would be at least $50k higher.

Any advice on deciding between the two? My thinking is that the WFH and higher salary would make up for the higher billables, but I go back and forth.

How the hell is it still Monday?
