Does anyone know about perks/amenities at Gibson Dunn's DC office?

My current title has shifted between Junior Art Producer, Art Producer, and Art Buyer pretty arbitrarily. Since I’m the only “producer” at my agency I handle projects ranging from photo to video to...

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

Guys, ditch your briefs and trunks.

Switch to boxer briefs. They're the best.

Thank me later 😂😂

Hello!
I am new here and would love to get some likes, so I can DM people. Thanks :)

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

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

I’d rather quit than revise this agreement.

Will Feb bar exams be converted to online?

Serious question: what was biglaw like back in the 90s? Did ya'll have big cellphones and catered lunches? How is it different for associates back then versus now?

Lived in Texas (no state income tax) all last year but continued to pay DC taxes. Got $23k back from DC in taxes. I love Texas. 4th year.

Seeing Cooley do a 180 from fully remote to 3x a week in the office has me insanely grateful that I took a fully remote position while they were available.

I live an hour from my office and I actually go in quite a bit because I like my colleagues a lot, but everyone in my group is across the country so there’s no pressure and I can’t be forced. Thank the lord.

Some recruiter just called my mobile, sneezed and hung up.

I am getting sick of these cold calls.

Which firms are actually doing work in the emerging tech space - NFTs, DAOs, and related blockchain fun?

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

Are tech trans hours better/more predictable than M&A?

Any associates on here develop a decent book of business while in Biglaw? How did you do it?

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job. Thing is, I’ve been incredibly frustrated with the firm - I’m buried in work and billing like crazy, but there’s zero transparency on financials and zero communication on bonuses (...)

Does someone have a good punch list of things to do before giving notice at a firm?

Is it possible to go from cap markets/public companies to in-house at a fund or do they usually limit hiring to PE/M&A/Funds lawyers?

Do you think Milbank hate DPW?

Obviously many of us get paid very well and there is an expectation with work demands for being paid that high. But what’s too much? How do you set a limit to preserve your mental health? I find myself guilty for taking time to decompress but I know I come back to work refocused after I do it.

Paralegals: what’s your least favorite thing about working with attorneys?

Ramadan mubarak, fellow fish! Just curious how you handle fasting with work. Raise it and adjust your schedule when you can? Just soldier through? I skipped the last couple years when I was a junior, but am compelled to give it a go this year.
