Has anyone thought about moving into Big 4 from biglaw? It seems like they have more predictable busy seasons, offer more remote working opportunities, and it seems like it would be less intense pressure…but I’m sure it’s a pay cut and long hours?

What do people recommend for start-up relevant marketing resources/books/personalities/podcasts?
I have a lot of enterprise marketing experience, but making a jump to a startup and want to get up to speed as quickly as possible.

Is everyone excessively leaving at the Big 4 across the board or is it just PwC? Seems like everyone is leaving or searching.

Hey fishes, would be joining the PwC AC DDVIT team soon. Have some questions:

1) is this the same team as Strategy& practice under pwc?
2) how is the work life balance here? Avg. Working hours and timeline?
3) what are some benefits?
4) are there on-site opportunities? If yes only US or Europe too?

I was a part of a management program for the past 4 years in a mid-size local company; worked in a variety of functions: operations, sales, data, marketing, and audit. Thinking about pivoting to consulting, how would you advise me to go about this pivot?

Need some expert advice: (1) what are the exit opportunities for VC associates? (2) More precisely will a 2 years experience in this role be helpful to get into PE/IB? (3) If not, what are some recommendations to bridge the gap?

I’m really discouraged. I’m 25 and have yet to get a full time job in the industry. I graduated college late, but it seems everyone my age is at the senior level. I’ve networked, cont...

Please give your valuable suggestions.

Hi Fishes,
My wife got the Visa however with the visa envelope she didnt recieve the BRP letter collection for UK.
What can be done here ?How can she travel ?

Just finished entering 70% of my time for October. Anybody else?

Doing a federal clerkship and thinking of my options after. Anyone in NJ/NY/PA biglaw lit group with collegial and pleasant work environment? I do not care about billable requirements/workload, just salary and don’t want to be treated like shit.

How long did your longest matter last? I imagine litigators take the cake here but curious about deals as well.

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 does it mean if there’s a NEP at the firm who’s been there for a long time (20+ years), but never got promoted to EP? Never held leadership roles too. Does it usually mean EPs does not like the NEP enough to get promoted?

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.

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?

What corporate practice has better longevity if your goal is to stay in big law for as long as possible: M&A or Capital Markets?

If you are a first year in a stub year, and significantly under billable hours requirement, do firms typically still give pro rated bonus? Do first year stub associates really ever hit their pro rated hours in those 2-3 months?

Any IP lit laterals getting bonuses over the last year? Curious about Juniors in the 2-4 year range but all data points helpful

Corporate or litigation, which is easier to reach billable hour requirement? In other words, which is easier to bill a lot annually? Comparably speaking.

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?

First couple times drafting ancillary docs—is it normal to not get everything/feel like I have no idea if I got stuff right. Or is the expectation that the docs be drafted 100% in executable form.

Can someone shoot a straight answer to base salary for attorneys in LA at: littler, JL, Fisher Phillips

Do you think the “great resignation” was applicable to big law associates? Are these people ever coming back?

Explain to me like I’m 5. Why does the monthly billable hours goal on things like Intellistat change month to month. I’m not hitting hours this year. Last month goal was 158. This months goal is 180.

What is your typical total time “working” vs. time billed? I think I must be doing something wrong, because I’m having 12 hour days but only billing 7-8 hours/day. I can’t block bill so I lose a lot of time switching between tasks and reading random emails and don’t want to put down a million .1s for reading emails, but still seems weird to be losing so much time. I’ll take quick breaks throughout the day but nothing I’d expect to total more than hour. At a loss here.

Can anyone please advise on Sullivan & Worcester? Is it comparable to Big Law in terms of salary/quality of work and quality of life?

What monetary goal/target are you telling yourself to hit before quitting big law?

Anyone know of top RE law groups that don’t really do a lot of deal support work (sorry M&A friends)?

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm? Like is there a perception of us being a step down or ancillary to the big leagues of NYC or not? There’s generally a perception here that L&W and K&E are the only US firms where London can even begin to compete with stateside in terms of generating l work organically but would be interesting to know what you all think? Be brutally honest.

What should your realization rate be as a first year? I have not gotten any negative feedback but my realization rate seems...bad
