How do you say, “I have too much on my plate”? Not responding that you’re at capacity when someone tries to give you more work, but telling the people you work for that your current workload is too much and something needs to shift elsewhere. At this point I don’t care whether my “too much” is someone else’s “just fine.” All I know is I can’t keep doing what I’m doing. The mistakes I’m making just trying to keep up are getting bigger.

W/L balance at VMLY&R?

I joined KPMG a while ago from federal consulting. Federal consulting had super good work life balance but I’ve been working at KPMG strategy for a while now. The hours are wild, my managers expect perfection, and I feel like it’s all meaningless. Does anyone else feel like this, how have you dealt with it, and is it like this once you go into industry?

How does a person change their mindset to be more positive? I feel like I’m meant for my job, but blame all my life problems on it….having no energy, being single at the age of 30, etc. and it seems like a never ending loop. I look for new jobs, realize I have a good job then am ok for a bit then start it all over again. When I’m off of work I’m fine and realize I have it pretty good. Only real negative is I can’t vacation with my family in March due to my busy time.

Probably won’t get anywhere with this But a really good friend of mine is a recruiter in L.A got laid off and have a hard time finding a gig because of ageism.
If you have job leads please tell me.

Please let's do something!!! Lol I leave Saturday morning

I'm faced with 9,000 emails and I have to decide what's responsive to a discovery request. Do I review enough to get a gist of the personalities and narrative or read every single email?

How do I become a faster writer? People like my writing skills and I am now getting asked to write substantive appellate and responsive briefs. The issue is that I’m struggling to meet deadlines. It takes me twenty minutes to write a single sentence. I spend too much time fixated on revising prose sentence by sentence, instead of just moving on and revising later.

Y’know what’s really discouraging? When you work your ass off for someone over an extended period of time and they still give you a lukewarm review

I’ve gotten asked how I deal with feedback in two different interviews recently. Anyone have an idea of what a good answer would be? I panicked and said something about paying close attention to redlines and proactively attempting to improve my legal writing but I’m not sure that’s what they’re looking for.

Second year lit associate. Been doing mostly commercial lit. How do I branch out and express interest in other areas?

I’m working as an associate at a mid-size firm of about 140 attorneys, but was just offered a position with an AM 100 as a staff attorney with the possible bump to associate within a year. Is this a good move? Billable hours and salary are the same the first year. Any advice is appreciated!

So Baker Mckenzie is officially V2 now until we hear from DPW/Milbank, and if the latter two also follow the “BM scale”, I guess BM’s marketing team made up for the mistake of announcing first last year by announcing first this year. Brilliant move!

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

I tell my senior associate that I quit pretty much every single day, if not multiple times per day. That’s fine right? I’m fine. Super good. Going well.

I’m pretty sure colleagues at my firm are inflating their billable hours. Is this the norm? I suspect many of you will think this is obvious and/or that I’m naive but wtf? I find hitting 2200 is tough even with a good sized work load. Am I just expected to play the game? I don’t want to sound self-righteous but if most are lying just to make the requirement, then maybe the requirement should be lower.

Someone needs to explain to me why I need to urgently (like yesterday) explain a matter to the people running the specific part of the deal (noting to them that OC’s request is nonsense because Y) only to be copied two days later - “my colleague X will provide”.

What’s the typical ramp up period for a first year? I’m lucky to hit a few billable hours each day. Started in September.

Anyone else take 20 minute cry breaks and then get back to work like nothing happened lol

Is "attention to correspondence" an appropriate description for the 17 hour block bill yesterday? Asking for a friend.

Tech trans folks in BL, how are your hours looking heading into the new fiscal year? Lots of other associates say their hours are low at my firm. Just wanted to take the pulse.

How much were you offered at Jones Day as a lateral? Below market?

Just graduated and took the bar. Will be starting in the litigation practice group at a Big Law firm in the fall. I want to use my time off to set myself up for success. Any books I should read? Skills I should learn (e.g., excel)? Other advice? Thank you all.

Sooooo bored with the work but love the money and am generally happy with the team/people I work with. Should I lateral or go in-house so I get a chance to work those management/stakeholder engagement muscles? Just don’t feel challenged anymore. Is another option to talk to the partners and ask for more interesting/higher quality work?

Anyone willing to provide a referral to Perkins EC/VC preferably remote but willing to relocate to NYC. Thanks!
