Solos - what does your day look like? Do you work traditional hours? Do you take breaks during the day for personal things such as errands and working out?

Newish to FIRE (really after FI). Finally switched to a HDHP in 2021 and got around to setting the investment portion today. Wish I had known about this years earlier. Grateful for the FIRE community and one step closer to getting out of the rat race.

So I pulled an all nighter on Monday to do this thing, spend Tuesday like a zombie (and I had 5 calls!!!) then on 6PM the senior reviewing my work came back with comments that I needed to turn “ASAP”. I was so tired I just said I would not because I needed to sleep. I sent them today at 1:30 PM.
Would you get mad if your mid-level/junior did that? I’m all for pulling all-nighters and billing but everything has a limit.

Anyone at Greenberg actually like their jobs? What has your experience been?

Thoughts on recording meetings. In Texas and have ADHD. I’ve been recording internal meetings for the past couple of weeks and my work product has improved exponentially. I’m able to go back and listen to the directions over again. In law school I had a note that gave me permission to do this. Is this taboo in a firm?

To those who recently lateraled and switched practice groups, did you have to take a class cut to switch? Specifically, juniors?

What are big law horror stories that you have heard or experienced in the last 2 years?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

Which law firm is best for Business Immigration Law Associates? Niche area that many BigLaw firms do not have, but prevalent at more AmLaw100 firms.

Does anyone have any insight on the firm Husch Blackwell? Specifically their private wealth group.

Tips for bankruptcy associates who eventually want to move in-house? 3rd year associate in bankruptcy/restructuring group doing mainly bk lit but a few deals too. Need to stay in BL for at least another year for the money, but eventually want to move in-house. The path to in-house seems more straightforward for general commercial lit or more standard transactional practices. Any tips for someone who’s practice is a bit of a hybrid (and who will never likely do discovery or handle a depo)

Has anyone heard anything about Up or Out? Got an invite a couple of times, but trying to figure out if this is a scam or something.

If you’re ever feeling like BigLaw is pigeonholing your career, just remember that Rep. Liz Cheney started her career as a project finance associate at White & Case from 1996-1999.

Pros and cons of taking a class year cut? Partner sees my potential and that there’s an actual evolution but I’m not there yet in terms of experience compared to my peers so he told me to at least consider a class year cut. Is that a nice way to tell me we are not happy with your work product might kick you out of you don’t improve ? Or am I being paranoid here?

After leaving BL, what salary do most people settle at or is that way to general of a question?

How many firms is too many? I’ve practiced 13 years. Since I was a 1st year associate, every 3 years or so I’ve been recruited for another opportunity that is hard to pass up. I’ve been at my current firm 3 years and got the call again, again about an opportunity that is hard to pass up. I don’t like having a reputation of a flight risk, but this keeps happening. Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.

How long do 1Ls have to accept their offers at your firms?

Anyone have any favorite office decor or personal items? Trying to think of things to make my office less boring now that I'm going back in.

Feel free to share anything interesting that you've seen as well.

Currently thinking plants and potentially wall art.

Anyone else basically become comatose on either Saturday or Sunday when you get a weekend without work? I have all of these things I’d love to do, but as soon as my brain understands that I don’t have to work, it’s like I completely lose all energy. It’s making me feel bad about myself. Any tips?
