Goodwin should change their name to Badlose. They keep on losing.

How can I resize the horizontal scroll bar to only fit to my data? It goes all the way to column XFD and my data only goes to GK. Someone once had formatting that far out and now it won’t resize

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs
Tech= aws devops
I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

Nice Leather laptop bag recommendations pls. Looked at Tumi website. I can’t expense ~$600 for 💼.

So I was supposed to get married next month, but Covid-19 is clearly messing with that. Really feel like pundits/astrologers should be liable for peddling muhurats that clearly aren’t “auspicious”...

Not really a big law-related question but curious to what folks in big law think: is it worth getting a mortgage on an apt/house in a big city (like nyc or la) or better to just keep renting and invest that down payment/other property-related fees in a mutual fund?

My manager was sharing screens with me a week ago, and by mistake, he overshared some of his bachelor party plans. Now he is all embarrassed. I think his plans were funny, but I don't know how to don't make it awkward anymore. Any advice?

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

Any HR people here want to share any stories about funny or interesting CRT meetings?

What is the difference between PwC practice offices and Acceleration center? Is it hard to transfer from one to another?

Any thoughts on PwC private practice???

Since it seems like there are a lot of people new to the city here, what's your favorite thing about living in Denver?

Hi All, does anyone here works or know ClickGuard? Do you know their culture?

Anyone playing new Civ vi expansion ? I've gotten to dabble a bit, angry that it was crashing my game at first. Seems to be working fine if I switch to dx11...which is weird.

Please bring back the Tea machine that was there in cafeteria.

The pandemic has brought misery for a few sales organizations and unforeseen opportunities for a few others. How many folks out here crushed Q2? If so by what % did you exceed your quarterly quota? Did someone have their best quarter till date? Let’s celebrate some accomplishments!

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 😬

What’s the dress code for virtual court conferences? For those that have attended one already, what did you wear? I’m planning on treating it like a regular conference. Thought?

I live in downtown Seattle and a client just closed an email to me with “Hope you’re having a great weekend!” Um, what?

So sad to see my beloved Cooley becomes a laughing stock. I still remember the day that a classmate of my 7-year-old thought I am a food delivery guy. Can't blame him cause I was wearing a jacket with a large COOLEY logo. He just learned the word "Cooler" the day before.

Do you have to give notice on a Friday? Why not whenever you’re able to give notice?

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”.

The struggle is particularly real today

Any fellow Georgetown Hoyas alumni wanting to go to John Carroll weekend in Nashville!?

How far off market is Greenberg? 5th year litigation in Texas.

Now that the craziness of 2021 is firmly in the mirror, what is your class year and when do you normally stop working at night, on average? For me 6 to 7 is the average. Have to wake up at 5 or 6 a.m. one or two days a week to make that happen though and it may not last through Q4..

My firm has implemented a casual dress code through the end of the year and I’m hardcore judging everyone who is still dressing up when they come in. Who would voluntarily wear a suit or dress?

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

Wondering what does a class of 2019 ip litigation lateral offer look like these days? Guaranteed year end end signing bonus? Anything else? Mainly curious about Southern California but all data points would be helpful

I’m a 6th year funds associate at a v10 and thinking of lateraling. Anyone have any thoughts on Willkie funds? How are hours right now? Culture? What kind of signing bonus are they offering these days?

Looking to switch from a boutique firm into big law and make a move into corporate from litigation. Anyone have experiences doing this? Also, does anyone know which firms are more willing to hire laterals from outside of big law and which ones won’t?

Anyone relocate to an international office? What city/country/practice? Pros/cons?

Does anyone have any insight on the firm Husch Blackwell? Specifically their private wealth group.

Does anyone else intentionally under withhold to smooth out annual cash flow? I feel like it’s fine as long as you remember to set aside enough of your bonus for the tax man. Gain time value of money, still pay the gov when it’s due. But it feels sketchy for some reason.

Struggling to get work at a free market firm after lateraling. I was very well liked at my prior firm and had high hours so really struggling to understand why folks don’t seem to want to come back to me with more work. For those at free market firms, how frequently do you have to ask for work? How do you typically ask? Just send partners emails asking if they have any deals for you? Thanks y’all.

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?
