Are post-houses ramping back to in-person? I’m freelance and so far have had a couple in-person sessions but everything else has still been remote. I’m in NYC.

Went to a funeral today, wife’s oldest friend 42 non smoker, non drinker, did yoga and was a vegetarian and probably the nicest person I have met… went back to the house husband wanted a drink opened a top shelf bottle cause why not? Sometimes the stuff we discuss here is so trivial but what I remembered today is open the good stuff, enjoy it with people you love and tell them you love them. Tomorrow is not guaranteed

Partners: I’m a sr. associate managing multiple cases without a whole lot of oversight. A few of the cases I am managing are very large, very fast, and very contentious. I try to be as immersed in the details as I can, but can’t know everything. I rely on others to give me accurate and actionable facts. Lately, the actions I have been taking have been based on wrong, inaccurate, or incomplete info. I then get reamed in M&Cs and look like an idiot. [Cont. in comments]

Best fall vacation destinations on a biglaw budget?

I’ve met my CLE requirements for 2020 and 2021. Now what?

A young male partner told me that I should wear heels to work. I don’t cause they hurt and told him that. He then replied “beauty is pain honey”. What a day.

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

I worked at my first firm between 2015 and Dec 2017, when I was let go. I didn’t get website time, but they did give me a recommendation and helped me land a job at a peer firm very early in 2018. Yet recruiters keep asking about this 3 month gap in interviews…

Any CLE recommendations for junior litigators to get familiar with court rules, cycle of a case, etc.? Anything helps!

Any thoughts on Holland & Knight Philly office? The good the bad and the ugly please.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Does anybody else get that anxious feeling in their chest when their workload starts to pile up? When my to-do list fills up and the timelines start to get tight I really start to seize up and I think this is how I’m going to have a heart attack in my 20s.

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”.

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.

3rd year associate. Former fed law clerk. Working at ID firm. Doing slip and falls and wrecks. Recently received big law offer to do products. Really want to go. Gave notice to current firm.
