Group has lost all but 1 or 2 associates in my mid-level class year. I am one of those people. How likely is a retention bonus? I don’t think it would be wise for me to expressly ask for one, but looking at this from a management perspective, I think they probably want to stop the associate attrition. So do you think there is a possibility the firm throws me some extra cash to keep me around or are they going to continue to grind the associates who stuck around until they leave as well?

I have seen my parents fight every since I was 8 and I’m 27 now and nothing has changed. I discovered at 17 that my dad is gay who had multiple relationships with other men. We were devastated but....

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

When BigLaw attorneys interview students, how soon afterward do they give feedback? What kind of feedback do you give as an interviewer at your firm (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, thumbs up, thumbs down, veto)? Does everyone get in a room or do you just submit the forms to one hiring partner, and/or to a black box? If you don't click with the student, what would make you still give them a thumbs up? Sorry if my questions are a little neurotic... !
