Does anyone “keep” emails and documents prepared over the weekend to send on Monday instead? I don’t want to be appear over-eager and nobody’s chasing me for these. I just try to do as much as I can over the weekend so that I’m not rushing for time on the weekdays. Am I weird?

Significant other and I have been dating for about 6 months. We got in an argument 2 days ago and I just found out their grandparent passed away today. We haven’t spoken since our argument, but obviously want to be there for them. What’s something thoughtful/nice I can do to say I’m sorry and I’m sorry for your loss? Tbh I’m worried that our disagreement might be the end of our relationship, which I don’t want that to be the case.

Managing partner at my firm just stumbled across this case “Ickbell” during his google search… for legal research. When I told him it’s Twombly v. Iqbal and a huge part of Civil Procedure.. he was insulted 🙄🙃

Hi everyone,

Looking for suggestions should I starting looking for another opportunity or should I wait for atleast completing 1 year to justify my change.

Looking for honest suggestions

I’m starting a women’s group (the first one ever) at my company with a colleague of mine. Since this happens to be February that we are starting this up I would be remiss if I didn’t address badass black women, I’m putting together resources including books, podcast, nonprofits to donate and support, articles to read (mainly around black women and tech to keep it relevant to our industry). Thoughts on anything to add/tips? Any guidance would be amazing as I don’t have any from HR really.

I wish I could my phone on DND 😕

Hey guys, just accepted a 110k + bonus + options at a bay tech company for a Sr. Rev. Accountant position. I’m wondering where I should be headed trajectory wise in my career after this position in 1-5 years to try and get my base comp to 200-300k+? Should I be looking at getting promoted to a controller role? Is there something in between? Previously managed finances like a controller (but as a Sr. Accountant) for a smaller 100 employee SaaS company before this. 21M for reference

Senior is slammed with work. Junior is busy but not as busy as the senior. Junior signals availability but senior does not delegate. Any issues here for the junior here?

I am confused about our employee handbook. There is personal time off (PT), which attorneys do not get because they can take as much personal time off, and paid sick leave (PSL), which attorneys get 15 days. If attorneys have unlimited PT, why is it necessary to give a concrete number of PSL days?

If I work at a firm that is generally known as an “insurance defense” firm, but I’m niched into employment (EPLI) work am I still an “insurance defense” attorney?

Anyone ever say screw private practice and take a job as a prosecutor? Were you more fulfilled? Was it a good move?

Anyone transitioned from general liability to products liability litigation in NY? Otherwise, I had done asbestos products liability litigation in the past. Are there a lot of transferable skills sets?

Thank you for your time

Would love to hear from a big law turned solo-practitioner attorneys who made it work

Just saw a posting for a 2nd to 5th year corporate associate but “seeking attorney from a top 25 law school, in the top quarter of your graduating class.” Come on, really? Even for a 4th or 5th year, law school grades still matter? Rubbish!

That moment when your "smart" plan to boost your hours this month by working the Labor Day weekend (thus turning down all the fun plans your friends made) becomes sitting on your hands & feeling dumb because all the partners are too busy to delegate anything. The worst kind of "off" day is one you planned to /wanted to work, but there's no billable work...

Litigators who left private practice: where did you go and how do you like it?

What is WFH going to look like in ten years? What will partnership opportunities look like for fully remote associates?

Best big and mid size firms in Atlanta for real estate? When considering billable hours, comp, culture, etc. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone that generally likes their firm or has any recommendations on firms to stay away from. Considering making the move from a boutique firm as a 5th year lateral.

When you do a bad job for a horrible partner so he never staffs you to his deals again >

I just made the switch to my new firm about 3 months ago and the partner and I have not gotten along. I’m a second year in lit, and most of his associates are more senior so he expects us to run point but during the interview I told him I still need a little mentoring. Now, every misstep I make he kills me for it. Should I make a move now or wait it out hoping it gets better?

For small firms - What was your billable rate in 2015 and what is it today in 2022. Please provide your practice area too, if possible!

Took no vacation this summer. Everyone else did. Was going to take today off. Guess what I’m doing? It starts with a W.

Has anyone ever asked for a raise and subsequently regretted making the ask?

Anyone have any crazy summer associate or general associate stories that happened at your firm? I’m reminscing haha

What is the dumbest thing you have ever heard in a courtroom?

Offered secondment for 3-6months as a mid & was assured by mentor it’s not a nudge out (important client) but I’m also being considered for the final round at a great inhouse spot I’ve fallen in love with. Don’t have an offer yet. Don’t want to commit to secondment and then drop it for inhouse but told the “ask” to do secondment isn’t an ask. Think it would be worse to say yes to secondment and abandon the commitment than just being pushy and saying no to keep inhouse option open. Thoughts?

My fiance and I are both coming up for partner (different firms) in the next two years. I'd love to hear from other women who have gone through this and made it work
