Had a call back last week through an internal referral. The referral asked the recruiting department when I could expect an answer last Friday. They were told by the recruit that they “ hope to have answers” for this past Monday. I still haven’t heard anything. I’m desperate to leave my current firm. Any experience on what this could mean?

Is anyone in AM hiring MBAs now/soon?

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

Hi fish! Recently free MC here. Looking for a referral to a Big 4, or MBB

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Is it kosher for a Deloitte employee to apply and accept a role from the client they are working for in the Bay Area? Is it difficult or just downright impossible? I heard of a manager doing this 10 years ago and it shocked me as I thought it wasn’t possible.

Hi there,

Just joined S&C from 8 YOE in industry. Joined as M1, but was also a manager in former industry role. How soon is reasonable to be thinking about promotion Senior Manager? What kind of salary increase comes with this promotion?

Hey Fishes

I will be joining Barclays Pune office in December.

I just wanted to know about salary account, do they need account in any specific bank or any banks old account would work?

Chicago announced a $10m grant for looted businesses. Really confused because I thought insurance just gives everyone that’s looted money.

Thoughts on AdEx ?

Any good books to read this winter break? On leadership, digital, or any autobiographies?

For those who came to London thru their firm’s global mobility program, what sort of visa did you get? And was it a route to settlement? (IE did that time count towards getting ILR eventually)?

How do you find in-house positions?

How do you guys handle working with a staff accountant who just completely ignores you when you delegate work down to them, and who gives you an attitude all the time? If I send an email, I also have to follow up with her on teams multiple times, and hope after a few hours she actually does what she says she will do. I moved from public to industry recently, and I’ve always had great staff that wanted to do well and have never experienced working with someone who just doesn’t want to do the job.

You made it! It's Friday and the week is over. Anyone have fun plans for the weekend/halloween?

Any advice on how to find new creative interns in NYC? We aren’t a big agency but we have some great opportunities!

Had a great phone interview with a recruiter a few weeks ago. Said recruiter left and the new one said they were behind in their process but would keep me posted. That was 2 weeks ago. How to proceed?

Who’s working on the twitter acquisition? The dataroom has to be nuts.

Is it better to quit or get laid off? I know what to look for when being pushed out and with a combination of the work I don’t have and the work the firm seemingly doesn’t have, it just feels like a mess. I’ll note I have other job offers lined up because I felt uneasy here for a bit.

Maybe I’m just realizing I’m lazy… but do y’all ever get assigned an actual, hard research or drafting project and realize you don’t like the effort? Like plz let me go back to doc review.

Is it too late to completely switch practice areas as a fourth year associate?

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

Partners - what was the most stressful year of your career? The year before you made partner? Your first year of partnership? The year(s) you or your partner gave birth?

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Which firms have no billable requirement and centralized staffing?

Former big law associate here who burned out. Now a corporate inhouse counsel.

Been recovering and considering going back to actual legal practice.

I feel I need a new practice area.

One that impacts people’s lives and is meaningful, but where you don’t have to deal with disturbing facts and personal tragedies.

Any suggestions?

Any insight into the Barnes & Thornburg, Los Angeles office? I see there’s an opening for a Products Liability Litigation associate.

Kleinberg Kaplan thoughts anyone?

Am I the only person who gets skeptical when a recruiter calls, like did my law firm send you to see if I’m interested in making a move? 🤨 I may be paranoid, though. Lol

Any corp associates looking to move from biglaw to a boutique? My firm remains busy and is looking to bring on a couple associates. We’re all either hybrid or fully remote, and that’s here to stay. 1500 billables and we’re serious about it. Work is primarily ECVC, Outside GC, M&A. Pay is roughly 30% biglaw haircut, with incentive bonuses for hours and originations.

Has anyone else in their job search noticed how the fully remote positions have hundreds (if not over 1000) applicants while the on-site or hybrid positions have very little? Are we all now competing for these remote jobs?? 😩

It’s looking bleak, but are any south florida firms hiring juniors for com lit positions?

When does my class year update (class of 2021)? I think I’m still a first year but the new new first years (class of 2022) just started as well.

6th year litigation associate with a lateral offer in hand. Would love any advice on details I should confirm before accepting? I was already thinking year end bonus match without hour requirement and confirm earliest year of eligibility for partner consideration.

How long of a commute would you consider to be too long? First year associate trying to balance convenience with living more frugally to save up some more money.

Are we allowed to dish on how ineffective recruiters are? I’d really like to Yelp bomb a specific recruiter for being so ineffectual, unresponsive, negligent, and ghosting
