General strategy question/advice: I recently applied to a big law posting that wasn’t for a direct hiring need but instead a general lateral associate posting where they’ll consider applications as they come through. I worry with these that the application will just fall by the wayside and never be seen. Would it be out of line to find a partner in my practice area and just email them directly to introduce myself and ask about their hiring needs?

I want to leave my captive company. I don’t think I am ready to be totally on my own even with a cluster group etc. There is an option to be subcontractor in another independent company. I can write she said like 300 companies in many states, it would be helpful because I have many friends out of state. Is taking 25% of sales for giving CRM and companies too much? Seems like a lot. It is like “owning your book” but I assume I would pay a high price if I want to totally manage myself in a futu

I can’t keep up with the pace of consulting. Is there something wrong with me? Is there room in this world for someone who just wants to slow down?

Looking to relocate to Boston (fiance grew up there and wants to settle down around family). Sadly I dont have much of a network up there. Does anyone know of current searches?

Currently at BNY Mellon with 10 YOE, specifically in Corporate Trust working CLO/CDO’s (first job out of college). I’ve moved around within the bank a few times but I’m just not happy here nor am I where I want to be in terms of comp .

They sucked me in when they said it would be a FA role but we don’t do any modeling, forecasting, etc.. Any advice/suggest/rec’s much apprecia

Can anyone give me insight on Winstead Dallas? I am considering laterally to Dallas from Chicago & have a screening interview with Winstead coming up.

So the question has been asked a few times in the main Big Law bowl but keeps getting derailed into a political issue. As someone with a more conservative disposition anyway I'm interested in the day to day of life and work in Texas as opposed to NYC (or similar).

So, what are the pros and cons of living in Texas and working in Texas Biglaw?

I work in energy in New Mexico and am just wondering if it's smarter to move to Dallas or Austin to practice. Family is tired of New Mexico and the wife wants a better community to live in so that's a factor too. Open to all opinions.

What do you think of the LSAT decision? Personally I think it might be a little unfair to suddenly abolish it when hundreds of thousands of students have had to take it over the last few years and beyond. But I get that it's expensive. Anyways, good idea or bad idea?

Looking at litigation boutiques in Dallas and Houston and there’s a lot of chatter about LPHS—anyone have any experience with them?

What’s the deal at Jones Day Houston? No one seems to last there…

Thinking about lateraling to Dallas as a PE M&A third year associate from NYC. Which firm do larger deals? Public M&A? KE, Sidley, Gibson, or VE? Can you survive at any of the firms doing 2000 hours?

What’s the best real estate shop in Dallas? Not including Winstead or Jackson Walker.

recommendations for firm with good real WLB and open to remote work in Dallas or Atlanta? Doesn’t have to be true big law. Terrified to get it wrong…again… for the 4th time. 6th year Real Estate.

Do most firms start reporting years in September or January? Prior firm did an August year for counting hours and then another did January (both Amlaw 200). Looking at an Amlaw 100 to lateral in the fall (so trying to anticipate how much of the year I’ll have). I’ll ask what bonus/reporting year but just curious if most follow the same.

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Lynn Pinker, a lit boutique in Dallas, just matched Millbank at 215k.

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

Do firms recruit first years after people fail the bar? Are any hiring first years now? Or might they after February results?

After seeing the post about the differences between TX and NYC day to day I'm interested, if you moved to TX from somewhere out of state to practice how have you found the transition? Physically/Socially/Politically/Financially? Not looking for pros and cons, I'm from here, just wondering what it's like for people who moved here.

Will be moving to Austin next year since my fiancé is getting relocated there. Anyone have any leads for junior technology transactions or data privacy roles. TIA!

Anyone else experiencing pencils down?

So with all the layoff talk on the BL bowl, how’s Texas M&A market doing? Anyone expect an uptick in Q4?

Winstead or Jackson Walker people in Dallas (or if you know someone in these office) — how often do you work weekends and what time do you generally “log off” for the day? Also curious as to average annualized hours. Thank you so much!
