McKinsey 🐠, any intel on the Practice Manager role? I've had a phone screen and been invited to interview, but I know little about the role. Sounds mostly internal, but they can deploy PMs to projects if needed. How is pay and WLB? Is this kind of role suitable for people with top 10 MBAs and client facing consulting experience at a non-MBB firm?

Hi all, has anyone in supply chain taken one of the certification exams? (CPSM, CPSD, CSCP)
Does it help in any way besides refreshing contents about supply chain? I was thinking might be a good way to strengthen my resume (most of my career in investment analysis) but not really sure if it really brings that much value. Any insights appreciated. #supplychain #cpsm #cpsd #cscp #education #certifications

There are many reasons why the current atmosphere for clinicians is a total shit show. What irks me the most is when companies say they treat everyone like “family” but do things like micromanage you or treat you like crap. Currently work for Legacy as a DPT and when my contract is up in a couple of months I’m out of there! Stay away from this company.

Have you guys tried turning Wumbo on in Tableau? Really takes that data viz to the next level.

Hello all,

I’m a recent graduate of masters and currently have 2 offers in my hand.

1) One with CITI Bank with 100k salary and no sign on bonus and as it is in my home town as I stay with my family needs no relocation bonus required.

2) This is with American Airlines in Dallas Fort Worth which offered 100k + 10k bonus + 18k relocation bonus (required)

Which ofer should I consider given I’m a new graduate and this is going to be my first job. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

So I've been working at my company for 8 months now as a business analyst. Both senior consultants on my project are leaving, with no replacements in sight, so the project work is most likely going to fall to me. I am already doing most of the work of a full fledged consultant as defined by the companies description. I'm only getting paid 55k a year which I'm being told by other employees is below industry standard (they take around 70% of my billable rate) and I'm feeling kind of stuck. Advise?

Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

Please share pros and cons of being an HRG. Any great companies to target in LA area? Looking to move from TA to HRG.

I'm working in a company that I like, but I'm been quite underpaid. We recruited a new recruiter with a salary 25% more than the one I'm in. I've been approached by other companies, but I wouldn't like to leave, the only reason I would consider moving to a new job is the salary. Should I be open and discuss it with my LM? The formal salary review process is approaching in 2 months, but no way I could get a good salary increase in the formal process, I believe the max could be 6%-7%.

For those of you not working at the moment, what do you do all day?!

Confession: I love staying home with my husband and dog, and I kinda dread the pandemic ending. I don’t want to be forced to leave my house. I never want to go to the office again. I don’t really miss socializing with colleagues and friends. I absolutely love staying home and dread the day I’m expected to go into the office even a couple of days a week. I think I’ll be very depressed leaving my husband and dog every day after seeing how nice it is to stay home with them.

Any tips/tricks for the UBE, particularly the MEE or MPT portions? I did a couple practice MPTs but largely ignored it because most samples are simplified work tasks (memos, letters, whatnot). What did you do for MPT prep? Was it sufficient?

How would you compare the UBE to a state-specific exam (like Florida or California) in terms of difficulty?

Thanks everyone!

What independent steps could a midlevel M&A associate take for business development on behalf of their (somewhat niche) specialty group?

Is it normal for contract attorneys to have the same billable requirements but half the compensation, or does the lower salary come with lower reqs?

My mid-sized firm furloughed most of its staff. Im a first year associate (7 months in) with not that many billable hours. What are the chances I’m next? So much paranoia!

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?

Anxious q for people who went through 08/09 – will incoming first years likely be laid off or mostly starts delayed? Should I start thinking of a backup? Lit at V10 Biglaw if anyone can speak to that

Has anyone had luck negotiating a fully remote position for a firm that's hybrid? Firm is the next city over and would be a 2 hour+ commute round trip and I really don't want to do that more than a couple times a month.

Hot take- law school career services people push grads who aren't getting into biglaw into solo practice to preserve the school's employment numbers.

How would you request a performance review from your partner?

So I accepted my offer from a new firm (where I am getting a 30k increase + benefits) and gave my two weeks yesterday but my boss was shocked. She wants to give me a counter offer tomorrow but ultimately told me she cannot give me the benefits the new firm is offering (health, dental, vision insurance, unl. PTO, 401k matching). Part of me already has my mind made up that I’m leaving but the other part has me thinking I might be making a mistake…. I am going to hear her out but IDK what to do!

A naive question but…why is an in-house role “easier” and so sought after? Bedsides no billables of course.

TFW your colleague orders a salad at an NYC steakhouse. In front of clients from Texas.

A peer keeps trying to assign me work even though having no actual authority to do so. Laughed about it with the partner and a few other associates but still mildly annoying.

Anyone switch groups from RR to lit?? If so, what was your experience like?
