How do you handle the next day after being up until 4am the night before on a deal? My other deal teams don’t know I was up so late, but obviously I’m going to be much slower in the morning. It sounds whiny to say “sorry for the delay I was up all night” when everyone else is also so busy...

Finally gave in and paid $50 over retail for the Neon Air Max 95s

I hate it here.

Is KPMG, EY and PWC considerate about one not wanting to travel and chosing local projects in the IT Assurance practice? Please share your experiences. Thanks!

What credit card do you use?

Is there any way to travel or live internationally while working for the US government? I’m working in finance and accounting. Would love to know how and where.

Hi, My current CTC in Accenture is 14.5LPA and Total years of experience is 9yrs. Thinking about job change. How much CTC I should ask for the next company for 9yrs of experience.

Anyone have any for tips on transitioning from US private sector to practicing law in Europe for a non profit? I am US/EU citizen and qualified in US and UK via QLTS.

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖

Hi all. . . .
I am thinking of switching to a different company I wanted to know what can I say about the salary expectations. Currently i am a tax associate 2.

I’m a first year litigation associate and have felt depressed for the past six months largely due to work. I landed what has been my dream job for years - a position at a music law firm - despite having no experience in the industry and no transactional background. My parents think I am committing career suicide by leaving Big Law so soon and working with non Ivy Leaguers. I think I’ve landed a once in a lifetime opportunity and can swing the pay cut since I have no student debt. Thoughts?

Should I or should I not send a quick email re good news of passing the bar to my small (<10p) practice group team?

For those that have no desire to ever go in-house, what are the reasons other than the pay cut? Or is that the only reason?

How much are 3-5 yr associates making in big law in Denver? I’m a female and one of my male colleagues told me he makes $10k more than me and we received the same score on our annual review

Hours check anyone? I’m at 1400 to date with pro bono. 2000 target. On track but September is looking slowwwww

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

Started feeling anxious and overwhelmed and then I remembered this bullshit doesn't matter and no one reads this crap anyway.

Anyone have an Echo device in their office? I really like having them at home but I’m not sure if I should have it at work.

Shoutout to the partners who set firm, clear boundaries with clients about timelines so that I, a junior, don't have to work like everything is an emergency.

You the real mvps. 🫡

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

What are people’s experiences with SSRIs/did they help you with work?

How long does it take to make at least $300k per year if you are in-house?

Any insight on Hunton Andrews Kurth Real Estate practice group? Work life balance, type of people in the group etc. Anything at all would be helpful!

Currently in a satellite office but work mainly with partners in another, main office in another state (my office has no one that does what I do), and feel like I miss out on a lot of training, networking, etc. I like the firm so don’t want to lateral, and wouldn’t move to the main office, but am thinking of working out of the main office like one week every other month or something. Has anyone heard of an arrangement like this, or have any other suggestions?

Anyone else getting spammed for "law firm in house/gc's office" roles and know what the deal is with that? Not really looking to do it but curiosity

What year did you gain INDEPENDENCE to run LARGE cases?
I’m a 4th year and my partner let’s me run smaller cases but still not letting me run the largest cases in the firm, but I’m not sure when I should be running independent

Thoughts on how CO’s sh*tty, “Equal” Pay / Work Act will impact remote work from CO? Some firms have started offering permanent remote work but I know a lot of companies that are offering those options are excluding CO workers thanks to that new law.

Difficult and personal question.

Worked in big law since this summer. Feedback is that my legal writing is first class, but that I’m severely sub standard when it comes to aptitude for work as a lawyer with paying clients.

I feel terrible, no self confidence and want to get out. Any alternative career suggestions?

Any intel on life in the King and Spalding corporate group in Atlanta, particularly the specialty groups (e.g., tax, benefits)?

Are all you associates getting crushed right now? I haven’t had a breather in months. No amount of bonus seems worth it right now
