Does higher vault ranking (v10-30 compared to v80-100) open more doors for corporate in-house opportunities for a senior associate? If chambers practice area rankings and expected billable hours are similar and they offer the same DPW pay scale, does it matter less? Is it better to stay at/lateral to a firm where you might be able last longer to learn the necessary skills? Any personal anecdote or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Any openings for Worksoft Automation anywhere … YOE 8+ Relevant Exp :- 3+ … Current CTC :- 14+ Expected CTC :- 24

I’m mid-level in my HR career at my current company and an upcoming Master’s graduate. Studying for my SHRM-CP too. How did you make the transition to that next level? What skills do you need, or is it really just based on YOE (I am the youngest compared to my teammates, many who have 10+ YOE)? I feel like career pathing is not very clear at my company. Each time I ask for guidance on this from my manager, I get told they’ll look into it.... would love some external mentorship and thoughts 🙏🏼

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

DM me for a discussion about SDR, CSM and other roles in cybersecurity! Great organization and benefits!

My work just had a retreat and I felt so out of place and uncomfortable. I tried to talk to people but was pretty much ignored and honestly it was really stressful for me, and the reason I chose a remote role was to avoid this.

Now we have yet another one with triple the amount of people, a 12-hour flight away. I have to be with them for 2 days straight and would have to room with someone I don’t know.

How do I not attend this and not seem like I’m not a “team player”?

Midlevel associate here. Was looking to lateral into a certain group, got hired, and then found out I got hired into a different group (I know 😖). I’m not hating it but it’s not what I signed up for. There’s a possibility I can get my foot in to actually switch to the right group but I’d have to take a class cut - down to a 1st year. Worth the $$$ cut (and do what I actually thought I wanted) or just stick it out where I got placed?

Controversial opinion: if a firm has a billable requirement of 1800 hours or more, it shouldn’t be able to advertise the job as having any paid time off. It’s not PTO, you literally just have to make up those hours somewhere else, like nights weekends and holidays. You’re not “off”, because ultimately you’re still working the equivalent of a full week every week for the entire year.

We have unlimited vacation but most ppl take 2 weeks off.

I am finally leaving the country to see my family - will it be ok to take 3 weeks or will that be pushing it?

Class of 2020 Labor & Employment associate: looking to lateral to another Houston firm. Most of my experience is in wage & hour collective actions. I’ve handle document review and production, and draft answers, discovery responses and requests, various motions, and I’m drafting my first MSJ right now. Let me know if your firm is looking to hire.

If I go away for the weekend but am still available to work remotely, do I have to let my team know? Pre-covid?

I know of a team member who recently had a death in the family. But Ze is still working as if nth happened 🥺🥺🥺🥺 whyyyyy

Burnout thread. 2nd year commercial lit associate, I lateraled from a large local (FL) firm to AMLaw 100 about 7 months ago for a big salary increase. My hours are actually a bit lower now but I still feel incredibly burnt out/disinterested. Anyone else feeling this? Ways to cope? I love the salary but don’t know if it’s worth being miserable during the work week.

Is it bad form to give notice while on vacation? I've got a christmas vacation coming up and our bonuses will come while I'm out. How bad would it be to give notice while I'm OOO instead of waiting until my first day back from vacation?

My firm pays for associate’s bar exam fees. We had to sign something stating that we will stay at the firm for one year, and if we don’t, we have to pay them back. I have an offer at another firm. Do you think it’s acceptable to ask that firm to pay the bar exam fees I will owe my old firm?

Any insight into Perkins Coie NY? I’ve heard good things about the culture of the Seattle office. Does anyone know whether this extends to the NY office?

Any other single big law associates who wish they had a significant other? After a long day of exasperating work, I feel like it would be nice to have someone to chill and unwind with, especially during WFH where my days are already so solitary. Anyone else feel the same, or are you glad you don’t have to deal with another person after a long day?

Just curious has anyone ever worked as an accountant at the big 4 before law school? How do big 4 accountant hours compare to big law?

How do you say, “I have too much on my plate”? Not responding that you’re at capacity when someone tries to give you more work, but telling the people you work for that your current workload is too much and something needs to shift elsewhere. At this point I don’t care whether my “too much” is someone else’s “just fine.” All I know is I can’t keep doing what I’m doing. The mistakes I’m making just trying to keep up are getting bigger.

Was asked out if the blue to turn in my notice. No warning whatsoever.

Fines for late time entries are the worst. I’m only late when I’m super busy so it’s really a slap in the face to get penalized when I’m working so hard.

I’m feeling guilty for feeling burnt out. I’m a second year in a quasi-lit role and my hours are not that bad (well below 2000), but I am exhausted by work and wracked with anxiety all the time. I feel terrible complaining because my peers bill so much more than me. I do incident response and my hours are unpredictable, so maybe that’s it, but I don’t know. Even when it’s slow I feel terrible. I worked for years before law school and didn’t feel this way. Is anyone else in the same boat?

Going up for partner this year, and all signs are pretty clearly pointing at a successful outcome. As much as it pains me to admit it, I thrive on positive feedback - I feel like I am a very, very good associate and partners tell me this all the time. But when I become a partner, does this all dry up? I feel like I’m going to be going from a very exceptional associate to a very standard partner - has anyone else dealt with this?

What is it about this profession that makes people think it is okay to look down on others - not just people in other professions but also people who are from other schools, other firms, other region, etc. We can be good lawyers and good human beings. Those two are not mutually exclusive...
