How do you deal with incompetent stakeholders? For example, I have folks coming to me for basic math questions that can be answered on their own from current existing reporting 🤦‍♂️

It's okay to point them back to that reporting. Ask them if they would like to set up time to review the existing reporting so you can walk them through how to better leverage it. I would normally phrase it as, "yes, (stakeholder), I'm glad to help you here. What are you using this data for? I normally get this information from your internal reporting. Let's set up some time and I can walk you through this report so you know where to find it and other useful information that might be relevant to the question you're trying to answer."

M&A/PE associate (trying to juggle multiple deals) feeling like I don’t have time to dive deeper into issues and it being highlighted in some of my work product as I am having to turn things right away and just pushing things out - so issues I may have caught if I had a better/deeper/higher level understanding are more apparent when partners review. Truly feeling like I’m just messing up all around but trying to give myself grace. How do you know if it’s just you or a part of the process?

Thanks!

Any advice on shifting from association law to commercial real estate in FL?

I've been applying to jobs for months but every position wants at least 2yrs of experience in real estate transactions, usually way more. I'm at 1yr+ doing HOA/condo work but have had no opportunity to do real estate transactions like I expected. Seems like the only way to get the experience is to have nailed a big law gig right out of school and get put into that practice.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
