Have you guys noticed that the 2020-2022 associates dress in expensive, gorgeous designer clothing and accessories daily? When I was a junior 20 years ago, juniors were raggedy AF we mostly had wrinkled suits & cheap shoes and dressed up only for client meetings. These new associates looking like models everyday to come in to do some diligence. Is it just my firm or what is going on? Are they taking selfies at their desk and acting like Cece Xie?? Do they not have loans?

Hi I have recently joined Infosys as associate Consultant and I was hired for salesforce role but I have been mapped to core java project. What is the Workaround to get project of my technology?
Please help

About to join KGS in a month or so in Deal Advisory Strategy team as a Consultant, wanted to know if the role is a front end (client facing) role or is it a backend role?

Also, wanted to give a check on the work culture and senior management team!!

Please help in making an informative decision.

I have worn bow ties longer than nearly all fishes have been alive. Started as a practical joke imitating a partner but it stuck.

My manager is extremely indecisive and doesn't give clear direction on how she wants work. Any thoughts on dealing with this?

How do you guys deal with that one person in the office who just makes very bad jokes that make you look bad, in front of the team? How do you get ahead of them? Tired, sad, annoyed, fed-up, etc.

I feel empty. Been on a solo project for the last few months, and I'm a quiet guy, but this+the environment is getting to be a lot. I'm at the client site 10-14 hours a day, remaining hours...

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

Has anyone here used the "Read Scripture" app? It goes through the entire Bible and includes accompanying summary videos from "The Bible Project" (whose videos can also be found on YouTube). I love how it groups portions of Scripture and the videos are helpful for making meaningful connections with the text. I love these for myself, but they're super kid-friendly, too. Excellent support for your daily study. Enjoy!

Have you ever snoop through your partner’s phone without them knowing? If so, did you find anything shocking?!

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”

I joined pwc india, kolkata as a senior associate in advisory los under data and analytics.which are the clients and in how many days project will be alloted??

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

Hi All,can you please let me give me some idea about the following things:

1. what kind of technologies are used in Data Engineering projects in ANZ? Do they work with open source frameworks like Pandas, Pyspark etc. Or everything is done using their internal tools?

2. And is there any opportunity of internal project switch after 12-15 months if I want to work in some different tech stack?

3. How is the work-life balance and job security for people working in India office?

Thanks in advance.

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

Currently accepted an internship at a firm for the winter and also just accepted a separate internship over the summer with a B4 firm. Should I inform the other firm that I already accepted a later internship with a B4 firm or keep it to myself until the internship is over? They are totally different positions and I wanted to have some experience with both but worry they will take it wrong.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Etiquette Question: firm is flying me out for 3 days for final interview/meet team/explore city. If offer is accepted, I must relocate to said city (which is fine).

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

With the various RTO rumors/fear out there and in the absence of spring/summer/fall(?) bonuses. Would you consider coming into the office more if your firm offered bonuses linked to days in the office (coupled with billable targets, of course)?

I have a clerkship with a bankruptcy judge in a major jurisdiction beginning in September. If I stopped working in April, is that too early or can I stop whenever? I’m not in RX now, but I want to join a major RX group after my clerkship. I’ve been working at the same firm out of law school, so almost 2 years.

Can I leave my biglaw job 3 months before my COA clerkship? Not sure if it will look bad or like I have a gap in my resume. I’m going on 2 years at my firm and I can’t stand it. I’m burned out and the partners I work for told me not to take a vacation this year because of my upcoming clerkship. I have ALREADY billed 2,200 hours this year. I’m absolutely not coming back to this firm post-clerkship.

Any BigLaw tax groups not slammed/understaffed nowadays? We're in middle of our second big wave of departures since January without a single replacement yet, and it's looking like time to escape (unless every tax group is experiencing this).

I am on partnership track. However a few partners I work with started to act kind of cold lately. It is hard to put it on words. But this is getting harder as it hurts my feelings. I sort of feel left alone. It is like I am in a war to get what I want. Has anyone gone through similar experience during their partnership track? Any suggestions?

Hi All - I’m at a firm that has some infrequent in-house training but not enough to help me develop skills to eventually become a trial lawyer. I know cases rarely make it to trial anymore, but I’d like to develop my skills as much as possible to position myself well when they do. Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

I know I am hella late to the party BUT I am a first year associate at a V20 firm and am ridiculously curious about when bonuses drop. Anyone know? And by bonus I do not mean an iPad. I will chuck that right back. Just another excuse to have a “flexible work environment.” No ma’am. Not in 2021. We not playing no games anymore.
