It's starting to get hard to show up to my job and give 110% when I know that I'm not being paid what I'm worth, and have to work extra hours at a side job to make ends meet.

Hi, I’m a global trading analyst. I need advice since EOY reviews are coming up. I’ve grown so much in my role & have moved to doing senior duties. I’ve also been told by my manager that upper management is noticing my work. My question is how much is a decent raise & how do I know what is a bad raise? Can you negotiate them? I have been at my role for about a year and 4 months now graduated in 2021. I am not salary, I work hourly. We work crazy 10-12 hour days at times. Thanks!

Looking at Strategy and Ops roles at Google (mostly in Chicago). I have 13YOE at various top companies. Harvard UG, Booth MBA. Wondering how best to represent my experiences in my resume and highlight relevant achievements. Anyone up for reviewing my resume or general advice here?

PSA: Buy a house if you are able. I spent the first 5 years in big law annoyed and upset with many things but my life has gotten so much better since I bought a house. I now have a separate office to work from and actually like working from home. I no longer have loud neighbors I share a wall or ceiling/floor with. I have an extra room for my mother in law to stay in and visit my infant child (instead of taking him to her house for visits only once a month). Also no worry about rent hikes.

Anyone else super slow? So far this month, I’ve billed 14 hours. 0.5 today. 😞

Corp/securities associate and lateraled to a 40-50 attorney firm earlier this year. I’m a non traditional candidate and considered a 3rd or 4th year and make $200k base. Waiting on raise/bonus info but can’t help but wonder if I could be making $100k more at a larger firm and working similar hours. I put a premium on the people I work with and have gotten a good rhythm here as well as built up a good rep so far. For reference I have billed avg. 180-200 hrs a month. Any insights?

My secretary’s birthday is coming up, and of course Christmas. Any good gift recs? What is an appropriate amount to spend? In the past I’ve just done cash/Amazon gift card, or a spa gift card.

Does anyone know what the salary and billing rates are for a 3-4th year associate at ogletree and littler in 𝐍𝐂 and/or NY?

Can we be honest for a second? No one has a clear policy for how we should be billing our time and no one wants to ask. I’ve heard perspectives ranging from, “a good faith estimate at the end of the week is sufficient” to “you need to have a timer going at all times and if you don’t turn it off when you pee, you’re committing an ethical violation”... also, “Bill anything that moves the deal forward” vs. “You can’t bill for collating documents. That’s not legal work.”

Partners: how many hours, including billable hours, do you need to work for a year? More than associates’ hours, or less, or about the same?

I keep being staffed on arbitrations, which I hate. Do you think it would be appropriate to tell the assigning partners that I’m not interested in that type of work? And if so, how should I do so? I don’t want the seem like a problematic unreasonable associate.

Biglaw Partners: Two questions. What do you enjoy most about being a partner? What do you dislike the most about being a partner?

What is the month of December like for a 1st year corporate/transactional associate at an AM 50 firm? Is it possible to take a week vacation over Christmas-New Years or is that just unheard of?

Can anyone share about how their firm handles origination? More specifically, how long do you have to work for a client that you didn’t personally bring in before you would start sharing in the origination? Current firm doesn’t have a policy setting forth metrics at which sharing would be required, so essentially, associates and less senior partners are at the more senior partners’ mercy. People have to actively decide to “give” a share in origination to those actually working the files.
