Ever been asked to draft a frivolous/unsubstantiated motion? Both, myself (first year) and a mid-level associate have repeatedly raised our concerns to the partner who acknowledged the problems but directed us to continue with drafting and filing the motion anyway. Any thoughts on the best way proceed with caution?

Should I start my own small CPA firm and do taxes? I left PA and im working corporate. I think I’d have to find a job at a small firm and do personal taxes and learn the business first and take a pay cut to learn it. Finding clients wouldn’t be an issue. I have a lot small business owner family friends. What do you guys think?

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

Does anyone know if superday for JP Morgan is two or three 25 minutes back-to-back? I’ve gotten two emails with two different format (CADP

Does anyone ever feel like working in this industry is just overall toxic? Unreasonable deadline times, every single client just being cheap (always quantity over quality), having to play this game of not including everything when you know it is needed, temporary fixes, blame games, and then clients always acting like they are the victim. It doesn’t surprise me but the overall things that happen behind the scenes just for people to get decent work and stay in business just wow…

What do you put in a post interview thank you email? Do you say you are excited about the role and think you would be a good fit, or leave it at thank you for your time and let me know if you have questions?

Has anyone had experience negotiating an origination fee arrangement from a biglaw firm? I’m a junior associate but have brought in ~$250k in annual revenues thus far and have received $0 in compensation for it. I recognize that amount is relatively low but I’m curious if there is an inflection point where it makes sense to ask or that I should have in mind.

Can someone explain to me why biglaw firms don’t “review up” and have junior/mid level associates evaluate senior associates? I understand partners have no interest in hearing the minions gripe, but wouldn’t it be valuable to know if your senior associates—seeking to enter your partnership are good managers and not complete a**holes? I’ve had so many projects mismanaged by clueless senior associates lately and it seems like juniors/mid levels bear the brunt of it, but there’s no recourse.

What are your recommendations on how to say no to a firm’s job offer? Do I need to also copy the partner(s) who gave me the job offer? What if this offer was tied to a referral from a friend/connect?

My wife and I both work in Big Law and I'm thinking about divorcing her.



That way we can get remarried and take a 3 week honeymoon; I think we both could use the break.

Why do partners refuse to let me sit in on client meetings? Trying not to get offended but like, damn, I cant even listen in on phone calls sometimes?

Corporate attorneys: how many of you like the substance of the work you do? If you do like it, what's the nature of your practice and what about it do you like?

To clarify, "substance" means what you do when you actually sit down at your computer and turn a document. I don't mean stuff like "I like working on important deals" or "I like working with smart people" or "I like the prestige." Curious how many actually like the nitty gritty work.

Is it normal to struggle with the transition to starting your first legal job? I did all the things - graduated law school, passed the bar, started at the big law firm that gave me my SA offer 2 years ago… Now, I’m feeling miserable. It’s only been 2 weeks and I’m not particularly enjoying work. I was totally burnt out on law school at the end and it was a struggle to finish. I figured I was just “over” the law school grind. Now I wonder if I’m actually “over” the law. (Cont’d below)

Just graduated and took the bar. Will be starting in the litigation practice group at a Big Law firm in the fall. I want to use my time off to set myself up for success. Any books I should read? Skills I should learn (e.g., excel)? Other advice? Thank you all.

The two most common things on this bowl that disappoint:

(1) people saying what do you think you signed up for

(2) people saying that's why we get paid the big bucks.

Nobody thats suffering actually understood it was going to be that bad. And that's no reason to tolerate/perpetuate the toxic parts of our profession even if you did.

And, we don't get paid large salaries to deal with unhealthy environments. We get paid because we perform a function our clients are legally required to use.

Doing my first pitch next week (firm client but for work we don’t normally do for them). Any advice appreciated! Client wants it to be informal.

What's your biggest struggle as a junior lawyer?

Sooooo bored with the work but love the money and am generally happy with the team/people I work with. Should I lateral or go in-house so I get a chance to work those management/stakeholder engagement muscles? Just don’t feel challenged anymore. Is another option to talk to the partners and ask for more interesting/higher quality work?

I would like to quiet quit. How does one do that in BigLaw?

It blows my mind that I need three separate passwords to get into my computer but we don’t have our own printers in each office. I can’t tell you have many times someone has picked up my stuff off the printer or i’ve accidentally taken someone else’s.

Rising fourth year lit associate realizing I might enjoy ECVC better. Anyone successfully retooled in that direction? My lit experience is mostly a mix of IP lit and PE lit (giant LPA dispute). Also did internships w two large corps while in law school, working mostly on SEC filings and IP contracts. What are the key skills /areas of knowledge I’d be short on? Thinking through whether I could go in one class year behind (or zero) or if that’s a pipe dream at this level
