For those looking at late-stage pre-IPO secondaries (Stripe, OpenAI, etc.) how are you all structuring these for tax efficiency? Seeing a lot of 30% discounts to last round valuations lately. Does the 'discount to last round' provide enough of a margin of safety to offset the lack of liquidity for a 12-month horizon?

When you’re frustrated with a product, do you take that frustration out on the product? Would you go the customer support route?

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Do you always feel tired? How do you have energy for anything with this amount of work.

Paralegals: what’s your least favorite thing about working with attorneys?

Any AUSA/DOJ trial attorneys here? What’s life like compared to big law?

I’m a true night-owl that begins thinking clearly about 5 PM. I often send projects out after midnight. Early morning emails and calls are an adventure. Has anyone else had to work through this issue? Fight it or embrace it?

Any white collar defense attorneys care to share a day in the life? Best part of the work? Worst part of the work? Always been interesting in that area and want to work my way into it once I get off of leave.

How do you bill your time? The busier I am the harder it is to bill. How do people actually bill contemporaneously in detailed terms when you bill 12 hours but literally did 100 different things in those 12 hours. And it’s never slow enough to go back and do it super detailed.

When BigLaw attorneys interview students, how soon afterward do they give feedback? What kind of feedback do you give as an interviewer at your firm (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, thumbs up, thumbs down, veto)? Does everyone get in a room or do you just submit the forms to one hiring partner, and/or to a black box? If you don't click with the student, what would make you still give them a thumbs up? Sorry if my questions are a little neurotic... !

I’m debating to join Locke Lord Dallas in transactional. I’m looking to stay at the firm long term and would appreciate any information y’all have. Please be as candid as possible.

First year associate and I may barely hit 1500 this year. Requirement is 2000, though i know first and some second years at my firm don’t hit it.

I am a in a small specialist group who has 2 partners, and they both give me work. One of them said to not worry about my hours (though they do not know how low of a number i’m projected for). Haven’t asked the other.

Should I be concerned?

Was interviewing with a firm and soon after receiving an offer, learned of bad culture/toxic partners in the practice group from a couple of associates who recently lateraled from the firm. I turned the offer down. A partner that I clicked with while interviewing reached out asking me why I turned down the offer. Should I be honest and relay what I heard?

Is an offer after only a first screener a red flag?

What responsibilities should a litigation associate have by their second year?

Is it possible to transition from antitrust litigation to general litigation?

Has anyone been the position where a recruiter submitted you to a law firm and then someone you know in the same firm (but not really well) reached out to you asking if they can submit you? This happened to me today with a V20 and I’m wondering how to navigate this.

Is the lateral market still hot? Any of you interviewing/ lateralling soon?

It’s looking bleak, but are any south florida firms hiring juniors for com lit positions?

How do I tell a firm I screened with that another firm I screened with is moving forward with full rounds? I would prefer the former firm, even though the latter firm is ranked higher. Thanks for any advice
