Recently got called for an interview for strategy/ operations role by a Faang company. I had my first screening call with the hiring manager, mostly all behavioral questions so hard to tell the result. The one area I felt I could probably brush up on is program management as my current industry is Pharma and tech industries are different. So any advice on program management interview guidance would be helpful. I have 18 yoe but still quite stressed about it.

I have joined Barclays last month as AVP Finance. The work seems fine but i dont like the manager who is always trying to keep everyone under her control. Moreover i feel our opinions are not considered and she is very impatient to listen. I m thinking to quit but i would like to hear your suggestions as to whatelse i can do? Do you think barclays would consider for any other role or should i completely move out.

I was wondering if other national firms provided counseling services? I used to work at KPMG and they use to provide four free counseling sessions. Please let me know~ Thanks!

My CC was stolen while traveling and Cap One wasn’t able to overnight another card. I acknowledge this is a first world problem, but does anyone know which CC companies (and which level card it may require) would overnight a card? Things happen and I’d like to have one where I have that comfort. Thanks all

For anyone working at a mid-size civil litigation firm, what number is too low for a salary a first year associate will earn? For example, is a $100,000 salary too low for a first year at a civil litigation firm?

What are the opinions of 1st year associates taking paternity leave?

As a junior associate, how do you find the healthy balance to take initiative in matters as opposed to wasting billable time on something the client won’t pay for or the partner might not actually want?

My firm has been pushing us to go back to the office since June, and every single day now they are sending pro-office propaganda. You can convince me there are benefits to being in the office, but good grief, let us work from home once or twice a week! Otherwise I’m out.

How much PTO does jackson Lewis give? Is it office specific ?

To give two week's notice before I leave and start my clerkship, I would have to give notice now, but bonuses roll out in a couple of weeks (actually, on what would probably be my last day or second-to-last day). My firm's policy is to give bonuses to associates in "good standing." Would a firm ever decide not to give me my bonus after I give notice (i.e. argue that I'm not in "good standing" because I'm leaving for a clerkship)? Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on Baker Hostetler’s Dallas and Houston offices?

I’m going to quit in 2022. Posting here to hold myself to it. I was asked to work on a discrete project that shouldn’t take more than 4-5 hours which has now turned into me having to join a call with the client at 9 am the morning after thanksgiving.

End of month: “Next month I should really enter my time as I go.” Beginning of next month “Eh, too lazy.”

Anyone have a good message to send to a firm that made a great offer, but telling them you are turning it down for another opportunity?

I'm convinced that some lawyers are on Adderall because there is absolutely no way you are coping with all this work.

How does one stay focus and meet deadlines? Transportation to work is already two hours to and fro. I need to sleep and also relax. I'm literally downing 😔

Are there recruiters specifically for in house opportunities?

J3 at a big law (not US) looking for a transfer to another big law firm. Is it faux pas to cold email a managing partner with my resume? The firm he is managing has no listings to my knowledge.

I *swear* the dumbest mistakes I have made in the past couple weeks have been on emails where the supervising partner is cc’d

Corporate junior associate here. Do firms genuinely treat pro bono the same as billable work? I’ve billed around 200 hours pro bono this year and as we near our review cycle, I’m anxious about whether there’s such thing as too many pro bono hours.

For those who get billable credit from diversity, what are some of the things that you do for credit outside of resource group meetings and things like that? I’m trying to maximize my diversity hours.
