First they came for Perkins Coie, and I did not speak out—because I don't know how to pronounce "Coie." Then they came for Paul, Weiss, and I did not speak out—because I was no, offered.

I need advice from younger 🐠 who are closer to my son’s age than I am. He’s finishing up his 1st year in college and he’s gained the Freshman 15+. He plays a college sport, so he’s getting some activity, but with classes a hybrid of in-person and online, he’s not as active as usual and I think he’s enjoying unlimited food on his dining plan. I’ve heard jokes about the Freshman 15, but not seen how this plays out. Is this common? Do most people lose it when they adjust to college?

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

Your degree doesn't belong next to your name unless it's a doctorate. I roll my eyes every time I see John Smith, MBA. What even is the point?

How long do 1Ls have to accept their offers at your firms?

Does anyone know when QE (or other firms ending their fiscal year in October) pay out bonuses? Need to know how long I have to do this until I can quit.

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?

Arguing my first motion to dismiss in a couple weeks. Any and all advice welcome. This will be my first time arguing anything. Thank you!

Someone needs to explain to me why I need to urgently (like yesterday) explain a matter to the people running the specific part of the deal (noting to them that OC’s request is nonsense because Y) only to be copied two days later - “my colleague X will provide”.

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

Does anyone tell the truth in exit interviews? About to have mine and not sure whether to be honest about partners who were bullies, backwards culture, etc?

Do partners sometimes say nice things about your work just to encourage you and less so because the work merits the compliment? Or is my impostor syndrome really messing with my head?

My firm has implemented a casual dress code through the end of the year and I’m hardcore judging everyone who is still dressing up when they come in. Who would voluntarily wear a suit or dress?

Any insight into Robins Kaplan? IP lit, considering a lateral there. Maybe a bit small for the Big Law bowl but hey Big Law is an arbitrary designation anyway.

Does anyone else intentionally under withhold to smooth out annual cash flow? I feel like it’s fine as long as you remember to set aside enough of your bonus for the tax man. Gain time value of money, still pay the gov when it’s due. But it feels sketchy for some reason.

Looking to switch from a boutique firm into big law and make a move into corporate from litigation. Anyone have experiences doing this? Also, does anyone know which firms are more willing to hire laterals from outside of big law and which ones won’t?

Should people who do not have children be able take a "paternity" leave? Paternity leaves are generally supportive, but sabaticals or whatever you want to call it are frowned upon, from my experience. Thoughts fellow 🐡?

Tips for bankruptcy associates who eventually want to move in-house? 3rd year associate in bankruptcy/restructuring group doing mainly bk lit but a few deals too. Need to stay in BL for at least another year for the money, but eventually want to move in-house. The path to in-house seems more straightforward for general commercial lit or more standard transactional practices. Any tips for someone who’s practice is a bit of a hybrid (and who will never likely do discovery or handle a depo)
