For those of you who live in the suburbs and work in BL, how do you do it with the long commute?

Chicago! What meetings near the loop should I hit?

Hi fishes,
Just wanted to know work life culture in publicis. Got selected and I’m in a confusion on seeing glassdoor reviews.

Any recruiters in this bowl, or perhaps someone who can help get an application looked at? I submitted mine about two - three weeks ago and haven’t heard back. I should have requested for a referral but it totally skipped my mind.

Which one is better to join

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

Ok so another FAANG has confirmed layoff this week. Amazon joining the layoffs group with 10k layoffs!!

Why are there so many job postings that I have applied for but nothing happening? Are the jobs that are posted truly open? I know we are in 4th quarter and wasn’t sure if corporation’s like to hire then?

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so what should I say so that it won’t be overlooked?Im currently unemployed and very eager to get an entry level position in either HR, Marketing, or Project/Program Coordinator in the tech field, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

2nd year here. Looking to lateral from a mid-sized regional firm to another WNY firm-specifically in the M&A/Corporate practice. Anyone have any good insights into big law firms with satellites in WNY (Buffalo in particular) or other regional firms? Barclay Damon, HS&E etc.

Looking for a group that values training and mentorship

Has a partner ever come back and asked you why you spent so much time on certain things? Im a first year and this hasn’t happened to me at my firm and they tell us not to cut our own time, but my first firm (short stint, small firm) did this to me allll the time and made me feel guilty — so just curious if this has happened to anyone in big law.

How many pro-bono hours do you bill each year?

Does your firm's bonus structure actually take into account pro-bono hours, or do they just say that without meaning it?

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

Is it normal to not get a perfect review? Just curious . Does everyone pretty much get some sort of constructive feedback?

Have an offer in hand in my market of choice, going to ask my firm if they will formally let me transfer to their NYO, and if not, I plan to put my notice in. Have a very long commute right now and I look forward to being able to bike to work! I don’t think this firm I am at will accommodate, but will try nonetheless!

A junior associate at big law here. When you get emails from recruiters asking for a call to discuss new opportunities, do you respond declining or do you just not respond? What’s the norm? Do you respond to cold emails?

4th year lateral market —
Anyone get asked to complete conflicts prior to a formal offer being extended? Not sure I want to disclose clients before accepting said offer.

Corporate attorneys in NY, how many hours do you work? Please also list your year. Thanks!

Anybody have any insights into working at Withers Bergman?

How much money do you have saved up?😳

When do partners decide when an associate is good enough to make partner? I’m a senior and it is extremely clear to me when an associate has it or doesn’t, and moreover it doesn’t take eight years to figure it out; it takes just one or two matters for me to know if they’re adding value or are ultimately just a commodity. It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that associates are largely being strung along by partners who are going to can them at some point, long after that decision is made.

Soliciting ideas for a big closing lunch with clients - near or close to bryant park, my first pick was Gabriel Kreuther but they only do Thurs/Fri lunches (ours would be Tues). Ideas for upscale restaurants appropriate for corporate clients? They said “anything but steak” ha.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

If a firm posts an opening on their website, is there any benefit to using a recruiter other than resume review and interview prep?
