How do big firms delegate work? Is there a program? A person? Do people have to verbally confirm if theyre at capacity to every lawyer?

Have started going on dates with a guy. Our dates don’t seem to be consistent. One date is great and the next date is just ok. Is this normal?

Body moisturizer/lotion recommendations? I want to move on from Bath and body because they are toxic and Bum Bum cream is too expensive. Want something for daily use that smells great all day and reasonably priced.

Hi Sharks,

I joined CTS in the month of October 2022 and in an offer I got Joining bouns of 2 Lac.

Suppose if I put down my paper next year and Last day comes in the month of December 2023, so in such case CTS will take JB from me or what will happen?

Kindly reply.

Partners, what do you wish you knew as a first year partner that you know now? What did you / would you have done differently to line yourself up for future success as a partner?

Hi Folks,

Would you guys be kind enough to hit 'like' so I am eligible for DMs. Need 11 likes.

I worked at FAANG for 4 years before pivoting to T2 consulting 2 years ago. Top 10 UG with STEM major.
I am expecting to make M next year.
And I'm hoping to pivot to MBB soon.
Should I pivot now as consultant at BCG/Bain or Associate (McK)? or Should I pivot to MBB as M after I hit M at my current firm and working as M for a year?

My benefits at the hospital are so bad! I pay so much for them and don't get anything back!

How many cases did you go through (Live or alone) before your interview?

Has anyone paid for premium processing for their I-140 out of pocket? EY filed my I-140 in June 2021 and is working on my I-485 now. I asked if I can pay for premium processing since the Texas processing center takes 11-13.5 months but I am not sure it will be worth it if the I-485 takes a long time. Thanks!

In Chicago. Days like today make me think twice about how much I pay for Manhattan.

Is it normal for brand side to be less process focused? Genuinely think agencies I’ve been at prior had to function like an assembly line in some way for accounts to be justified. But I liked this, holds everyone accountable.

Brand side seems so “chill” but like too chill.

Anyone else going to the NAPABA conference in November? Also, let me know if it makes sense to have a WhatsApp thread or something like this in case anyone is interested in grabbing a drink or not talking about work/networking 1000% of the time.

Any new Canada immigrants working in Canadian Healthcare IT startups here on FB? What is your experience like compared to other countries with respect to work culture, pay and benefits?

Real question: how does a hospital system using a leading EHR not know where in the facility a patient is? Father brought in via ambulance at 215pm.....and when my mother called a few hours later for an update on his status they had no idea where he was. She played “transfer me to Dept X bingo” (ED, med/surg, OR, PACU), til she found a nurse who knew where he was. How does this happen?

Feeling de-motivated as a consultant in healthcare. Doesn’t feel like a lot of the work I do actually helps patients or make anyone’s life better, which was the whole draw when I started 5+ years ago. I also sometimes feel stifled bc healthcare doesn’t have the $ and growth opps that I see my peers that work in other industries. Anyone ever feel this way?

Insurance coverage associates: how long does it take you to write a 10 page memo about policy law?

My wife and I are both COVID positive. Anyone who has it knows that it is a battle. Some morning you wake up feeling good and a couple hours go by and you’ve been hit by a train. Not good for solid chunks of working time. Plus, if you extend yourself too much while feeling good, the negative side is that much worse. I tried explaining it to the senior partner I work most closely with and he said “you will do anything to get out of work.” I am a hard worker who gets everything done correctly and

I hate billing. I love working defense, but just cannot stand billing. I am thinking of switching sides and working for a plaintiff’s firm. What are the positives and negatives of working on the plaintiff’s side. Also, I’m 2 years into practicing, if that makes a difference for any of the cons.

First year review: I have to become a better legal writer/ writer in general. Writing was never a strong suit and this has to change.

Please drop book recommendations!!

Thoughts on: 1) the winning brief; 2) point made; 3) legal writing in plain English

Biglaw market paying firm. We have an opening for a mid-senior level RE or structured finance associate for our LA office. DM if you’re looking to lateral

Hi! 2019 grad and started working in-house at a large org. Learning a lot, my area is finance and corporate. Curious to know if there are any folks here who moved to a big law firm from an in-house position (very early on in their career). Was it easy? Did you like it? Very happy in my current position - I def have great work life balance, but feel need more than that. Thanks in advance.

Anyone work for NYC HEALTH & HOSPITAL that can talk about quality of work? Benefits, WLB, WFH, workload (!!), billable hours (??) etc? TYIA

Anyone have a bad experience quitting a job? Tell me the worst of it please!

On my notice period. Is it bad to not be doing the same hours and leaving the office earlier than I was before? Just don’t want to burn myself out and I am also just checked out. But I feel like the other associates are judging me

Some smart corporate fish here surely have a resource that can explain to a dummy the whole S Corp vs. PC vs. PLLC. Why would a solo practitioner pick one over the others? Assume the state makes all available.

Please share your success stories about how you found a great job after struggling. I’m a new lawyer and have been struggling to even get interviews now and losing hope. Just want to hear positivity.

Any AML lawyers here? Would like information on getting into this practice area.

Was asked what my salary expectations were on an Interview and I blurted out a number that was only $5k higher than the offer they made me a few days later. Any advice on how I should negotiate?

How to transition from law to policy think tank?

What's the best way to handle multiple in-house offers? I have recently received three. Also, what are some creative monetary and non-monetary asks that you were able to get by negotiating your original offer?

Foreign atty here. Can someone please explain why US docs have a lack of formatting (eg headings, sub-headings, indenting, paragraphs, sub-paragraphs etc). I just don’t understand the need for unbroken clauses that run over a page long.
