Hi Fishes,

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?

Need to recommend a hotel to my family who's visiting from the USA in a couple of weeks. They like to stay in local boutique type places and BnBs, not chains. Any suggestions?

How do you help your kids manage romantic relationships? Crushes? "Going out" etc. Do you have dating rules? My daughter is 13 and having a LOT of chats with a 13 boy she knows through her best friend from another school. Her best friend "dated" his best friend. Until recently she showed no interest and swears this isn't that sort of thing. I want to believe her but if she's not feeling it - he totally is

After a decade of experience at big American banks plus consulting, with an American education and passport, how expansive are my options with big and/or small names in the region?

I’m an Environmental Protection Specialist and make pretty good money for what I do. I just feel like I have more to offer than being a worker bee in a system at 25. I work with a lot of retirees and would love to return in my latter professional years. I have my Bachelors in Applied Coastal Environmental Science and want to expand my options. Any suggestions that won’t require me taking a crazy pay cut? I’m pretty much open to anything.

Hi, I was curious if anyone had any jobs or companies that had a position with a mix of consulting/healthcare/pharmaceutical. I currently work in clinical operations and research, and would love to jump or learn into a tech side company with pharmaceutical exposure. Not sure if these are out there but figured I’d see!

Got the offer Amazon L5 Cloud Support Engineer, what is ideal salary for this position.

Does anybody else get frustrated when recruiters care about those who were effected by layoffs more than other job seekers? Like yea I am sorry about their layoffs but I have been seeking a job before their them, I feel like it’s unfair. When someone losses a job they become a job seeker like the rest of us.

Hypo: client says they agreed to use a prior agreement another firm drafted as precedent for a new deal prior to engaging you. It’s maybe the most poorly written contact you’ve ever seen. Most material terms are arguably there, but it’s convoluted and you’d be embarrassed to put your name on it. There’s clearly a better way to draft it. To what extent do you re-write certain sections?

Any CLE recommendations for junior litigators to get familiar with court rules, cycle of a case, etc.? Anything helps!

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

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

Learned an interesting lesson today: don’t mention wanting to go into government at some point in the future in a biglaw job interview. Had a callback where I mentioned a desire to be an AUSA. They passed on my candidacy apparently because of it.

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

1st year. I have a decent amount of client email/phone interaction. One partner frequently asks me to communicate with clients, and the partner tells me to ask if I have any questions before emailing the client.

I almost always respond to the partner with my thoughts and ask partner whether P agrees with my thoughts, prior to emailing client. At what point should I be skipping that step and just email client? I’m worried about making a mistake, but most of the time P agrees with my “draft”

How many times can an associate switch firms before it starts to look bad?

Any female lawyer who has a baby in their first year in BL? How was the experience pre and after the baby?

Name and shame the firms doing stealth lay-offs.

Those of you who have transferred offices at the same firm, how did it go? How did you present the request? I am a junior hoping to transfer from a satellite to a larger market’s office.

For those of you at these firms giving associates base salary raises, what are your billables like? I’m trying to decide if now is the time to lateral from a lower AM 100 up.

When do we think things will take turn for the better? Are we continuing to spiral downward? Hate the uncertainty of the general economic trend!

My firm has implemented a casual dress code through the end of the year and I’m hardcore judging everyone who is still dressing up when they come in. Who would voluntarily wear a suit or dress?

Best fall vacation destinations on a biglaw budget?

I am being head hunted more frequently. I am in the final stages for one position that seems like an amazing opportunity with a company that plans to go public this year and was just approached for another potential opportunity for a big company that went public last year. Ever feel like an opportunity is too good to be true or are these great opportunities really out there? I think I am just scared to take the leap of faith

Thoughts on Quinn Emmanuel? How grade conscious are they?

Now that the craziness of 2021 is firmly in the mirror, what is your class year and when do you normally stop working at night, on average? For me 6 to 7 is the average. Have to wake up at 5 or 6 a.m. one or two days a week to make that happen though and it may not last through Q4..
