How much do mid-level sales people do in SaaS? (Base Salary and commission structure)

This was incredible. Thanks to the Maip team and council for making this happen. Can’t wait to see you all soon.

I’m hoping this Willett rye scares away these manor Sunday scare is. 😬

What does it mean when a partner gives associates, especially junior associates, origination credit? Practically, I don't think it makes a difference except maybe for bonuses, but I'm wondering if there's any deeper meaning than extending gratitude?

I have “unlimited vacation” at my firm. How much vacation/PTO is given at big law firms that don’t have unlimited?

Incoming transactional attorney. Will be licensed (hopefully—July bar taker) in a non-UBE state. My firm has offices in almost every major city.

Do I need to wait 5 years before being able to waive into states to become licensed there, in case I want to leave my current state? How does that work?

Thoughts on Ogletree as an associate? Salary/day to day life

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

Biglaw first year associates, what’s your favorite thing about your job (beside the paychecks)?

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?

Moving from government to BigLaw as a 6th year. Since I'm coming in as a mid-level, I feel like this transition is different than a junior whom partners expect to know little. Any advice?

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.

What are your home office must-haves? I want to spruce up my office and have a stipend from my firm to help with office furniture and tech. I already have dual monitors, a decent webcam, and a ring light for video calls. Would love to hear others’ suggestions!

(1/7 3am) we're 147 hours into the new year and I've billed about 60 hours (40%) already. 2022 off to a strong start, y'all.

Conventional wisdom on current firm counter-offering when mentioning you have a few offers? I have an offer at a large firm in Miami. Current large firm has no office there but mentioned they can likely let me be there in a remote basis. BCG and a few other law blog sites have advised against accepting current firm counter-offers, e.g., likely to leave, not loyal, off partner track, etc., but would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

I'm thinking of leaving firm life and applying to the NY SG's office. Anyone heard anything about it (work environment, prestige, etc.)?

Any thoughts on the hours in the tax-exempt org group? How is the work?

Associates, do you want to be copied on emails to service providers/vendors (like CSC, CT, etc)? My thought is you get a billion emails everyday and don’t need more, but maybe I’m wrong?

Thoughts on recruiter responsiveness? How long do you wait to engage a different recruiter?

Do the partners you work with get to see your self-evaluation or does it only stay with the review committee? If the former, how soon after you submit your self-evaluation do the partners get to review it?
