Hi, everyone. I searched and didn’t see a relevant post. Is it best practice to have your video on during an entire 5-hour CLE on Zoom? Very much hoping not- if not, is there like a % that I should have it on?

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

I’ll see everyone on the Zoom call this eve (6 pst)! Message if you run into issues

Anybody have tips on how to see a therapist if you’re expected in the office 5 days a week and there’s nowhere private to take a Zoom?

Zoom (huge chunk, currently at loss)- sell or hold?

Anyone cop the RF x Jordan Zoom Vapors? 8 and below live on SNKRS

"I love Zoom because I can just turn my camera off and eat almonds while you talk."

What is your personal policy on how fast you will respond to client emails?

How about emails for new prospective clients/new business?

I personally am really hard on myself over fast communications by email and Slack. I haven’t gotten in trouble for anything but keep feeling this immense pressure I put on myself to be always on or respond within a few hours.

Any good satellite modem + data solution? Will need to take zoom calls while taking holidays on a live aboard in some remote Indonesian places. Wondering if fishes here have done that before.

Does anyone have a good way to utilize Microsoft Teams for tracking cases?

I'm starting to look around for something impactful and could use some help. Amazon's remote roles are pretty limited. I have a heavy background with cloud, AI/ML and data. Looking to be involved with using my skills to move the needle on something interesting and engaging but not wanting to work grueling hours. Higher pay has usually driven my career moves.

Netflix, Stripe and Slack seem appealing. But honestly, mainly because of the pay and prestige.

Anyone figured out a good way to keep hearings public? I'm trying to figure out if I can get the courts to post zoom links for hearings somewhere.

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event. I suggested we still host our multicultural club assemblies on zoom for the school. Anyone have experience with zoom assemblies to promote a positive climate in DL? Thanks!

I am starting my first civil trial in the beginning of December. It will be by Zoom. I've never done a zoom trial and I've only co-chaired a couple jury trials when I was interning at the prosecutors office years ago. I am getting nervous and I'm wondering if there is a checklist or things to know before starting a jury trial. When should I make my artificial deadlines? Am I late in this process with it being a month out? Any tips for civil trial or zoom trial? Thanks for any input!

I'm waiting on a verdict for a civil jury trial (first one) and I want to go snowboarding tomorrow. They deliberated from 9-5 today with no verdict. Is it super frowned upon if I zoom in (it was a zoom trial) in a car or on the mountain or a lodge or something? Probably a dumb question but idk if receiving verdicts is a much more relaxed etiquette.

Hi all, I am a Enterprise BDR currently at my company and looking for referrals to tech companies such as Slack, Salesforce, Outreach, etc. for AE Roles.
I am the top performer on my team across EMEA, APAC & US, always at 100-300% of target.
I am based in the UK myself. Happy to connect/hop on a call with anyone!

Anyone else have the issue thatyour company overpays for new hires that often don't last a year but will not even pay existing employees anything close to similar rates for the same job or even jobs higher up ?

I’m a Product Manager for a set of strategic planning/modeling applications that are part of our Data & Analytics offerings. I have a few yoe in the role and am having difficulty finding an exit path. I’d like to stay in D&A, any suggestions on how to get seen through the mountain of resumes? Also I can’t seem to find the right intersection of product/data science/modeling that I would be right for.

Are there jobs in biochemical patent prep and pross for people with masters degrees? Everywhere I look people want Phds.

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

We should cater the happy hour for all asian americans working in the financial sector, IBD or not.

Anyone who works at Stripe able to provide some insight on culture and work/life balance? Is it really as toxic as the reviews seem?

Hello fishes,

For the bgv we need to give statements in protected pdf or we need to make it normal pdf can anyone help

Likes for dm plz. ❤️

Has anyone interviewed or had experience with DropBox? Curious about their culture & how it may be as an exit? Have an interview for their Sales S&O team

Anyone dealt with an assistant who fakes helplessness? I share this person with a partner, and I think she’s very helpful for him (so he loves her) but with me she acts like an idiot. I suspect it’s passive aggressive work-avoidance. She constantly asks me questions that she could quickly find on her own (whats the clients email? She’s been copied for months) and screws things up pretending that I was “unclear” or outright says “sorry I didn’t read the whole email.” It’s driving me crazy.

First time closing on a property. Any benefit to being there in-person or is virtual fine? Virtual definitely is more convenient but don't want to overlook anything.

What are some racial/gender/age based micro aggressions you’ve experienced in the workplace?

May be a very naive question - Do Novartis provide comapny cell phone based on the designation?

😐

Got an offer and was asked for references. Do firms actually contact references after an offer is extended?

Hello, I'm looking for salary amounts or ranges for attorneys in private civil practice in West Virginia with 10 years of experience. Just want to get an informed idea of what to ask for as I transition to a similar position with a different firm. Thank you!

How do you think law firms will change when all of this coronavirus stuff is over?

What’s the worst way a firm/partners reacted when you gave notice?

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!

I’ve accepted a new offer scheduled to start beginning of April. With the Coronavirus I’m nervous about providing notice and the start date being pushed back. I’m currently in NYC WFH until who knows?

I’ve been at my firm for less than a year and desperately want to leave because I just don’t think it’s a good fit for many reasons. I’ve been submitting through recruiters but haven’t had any luck. I’m feeling stuck. Do you think I’ll have a better chance at obtaining a new job once I reach one year at my current firm?

As an associate, how long should you wait after lateraling to a new firm before you take a vacation?

How common is it to get fired without having had explicit conversations with supervisors about the quality of our work/in the absence of major red flags? I know it’s happened to a few of you but is it the exception or more frequent than we think? How much should one read into subtle “signs” in the absence of such conversations?

What’s happens if you enter your time after the deadline? Lol

I’m out on a week of PTO. I didn’t go anywhere, just spending time at home with my wife and baby. Just got a text from a partner, “Need to get draft release out today. If you are working from home, I could use a hand. If not, I will take care of it.” Yes I am home but I’m not working from home, I’m taking PTO I scheduled 6 months ago. How would you respond?

Could anyone kindly help me understand what legal & compliance teams at PE houses do day to day, please? I'm still in law school and interviewing for a Summer Analyst position at Blackstone next week. I have a rough idea but would be good to hear from people with first hand experience. Would also appreciate any guidance on any questions that might be asked/that I should prepare.

Thanks!

People that own your own firm,
How much are you making

Currently in-house, I interviewed for a position with outside counsel a few months ago. I thought it went well but was told the position was put on hold. It looks like it’s been reposted. (Comments)

What are most 2nd and 3rd year litigation associates at small/boutique sized firms making in the SF Bay Area? Helpful if you specify defense/plaintiff side, base salary, benefits, bonus, billable requirements, and would also be interested to know gender/ethnicity (for pay-gap purposes) if comfortable sharing. Asking because I think this kind of (anonymous) transparency helps us all in advocating for fair compensation for ourselves.

Anyone have insight into Parker Poe here in the southeast? Specifically whether the corporate or LE practice groups have NY expectations with lower tiered salary? Considering a potential lateral from ID and don’t want to get killed with work for only a moderate increase in pay. I imagine it will depend on practice group specifics, but any insight would help.

I don’t work in big law, but some of my classmates,who are going into big law, are bragging about the low number of billable hours they are required to hit. I’m hearing 1,600-1,800 billable hours. Is this actually true? Are some firms paying Cravath and only requiring 1,600 for the year? I know it depends on the firm, but can anyone actually confirm this is their experience? If so, then I’m a little jealous 🙃

What is the path to associate straight to counsel? I like being an attorney but I don’t want to develop business or the like. Do firms generally allow this or is it all partner or bust?

ID, Chicago, 2000 billable req., making $130K, and I just accepted a claims consultant role, 100% remote, for a major insurance company in my primary practice area. I felt a physical weight lifted off my shoulders when I sent the acceptance e-mail. Hoping the mediations and trials will keep me satisfied enou
