Fenwick people - what are the vibes since the lay-offs? I have a recruiter painting a very rosy picture.

I’ve asked about my so called promotion and I just keep getting more into the future dates. Also company is trying to make their # so cutting down on costs. At this point I gave up on asking...is it

Hi Folks,

What is the difference between EY India and EY GDS?

What are the pros and cons?

Thanks in advance :)

Does anyone know the average salary for a senior consultant in finance with 5 years work experience in the LA area?

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long? I’ve always just submitted each timer as soon as I finish a task—“call with x re y” really doesn’t take that long even if I’m busy, and if I don’t do it immediately I’ll forget all those little I did in the morning by the time I go to bed. No shade at all to those with different systems, just genuinely curious because I see a lot about catching up at month end on here and I have no idea how that works??

Does murex tool has really high demand?

I have heard very less flow of work in PWC AC’s. Does this mean recession impact has begun and they can start terminating employees on bench???

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?

Any one who knows about HCL onsite salary structure

Where do you usually buy your clothes? How much do you typically spend in a month?

Hi everyone
After hearing all bad reviews about ps I finally have no option left but to join the organization. Any tips how to survive their, how to manage the poor wlb?

Anyone love a SOW tracker? Hoping to be able to track overall scope fulfillment at a high level.

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?

If you weren’t a biglaw lawyer what do you think you’d do? Been wondering as of late about what else is out there.

Anyone here who moved from Big Law to Big Tech (e.g., FAANG)? I’m a patent agent and considering an in-house offer from a fairly well-funded startup. Wanted to hear what y’all think of the offer. . .

Which law firm is best for Business Immigration Law Associates? Niche area that many BigLaw firms do not have, but prevalent at more AmLaw100 firms.

Boston big law folks— which suburbs do you recommend to buy a home / raise a family, but still have a reasonable commute to the office?

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

Is workers comp a bottom of the barrel practice area?

I’m chatting with a partner next week about other offers I have from similar top tier firms and whether my current firm can match the signing bonus that I have been offered. I would stay at my current firm if they offer me the same. What is the best way to bring this up in a way that’s most effective and non-offensive?

If you’re ever feeling like BigLaw is pigeonholing your career, just remember that Rep. Liz Cheney started her career as a project finance associate at White & Case from 1996-1999.

What questions should senior associates be asking to get a better assessment of partnership prospects? For context, I’m eligible this year as an 8th year, but it’s more common to make it around years 10-11 at my firm (only equity partners), and I’m trying to determine whether to stick around or lateral before I’m too senior. I’m in a smaller group that historically promotes only one new partner every few years, and there are several others also eligible. Any questions I should avoid asking?

Do you have to give notice on a Friday? Why not whenever you’re able to give notice?

Today I tried to tell myself what my favorite thing of being a lawyer is, and the only thing I could think about is when the direct deposit hits every couple of weeks…

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Thoughts on taking a position in the same practice group and same class as your spouse?

Any news on vedder price? I’ve heard they didn’t fire anyone during COVID but have also heard it’s a sweatshop. Any insight to their litigation team would be helpful, thanks!

What is the best way to reach out to the attorney in charge of recruitment even when there are no posting available that fit your qualifications — but you still want them to keep you in mind?

Any insights into compensation at large labor and employment firms (e.g., Littler, Fisher, etc.) in major markets like NYC, SF, or LA?
