How do you measure success after implemening an RPA solution? I'm looking for questions or any measurements methods to see how it works as a part of change management program.

People recruiting at FAANG/big tech right now- do you have a sense of how they’re handling equity/stocks in making offers? Stock prices are WAY through the roof and likely poised for correction... are they taking this into account when making offers on number of RSUs? Risk of joining and losing money

I’ve been freelancing at a bigger NYC agency for a while and just found out that some of the FT creatives/account folks with significant responsibility make <45k. How is that okay?

Thoughts on Shearman & Sterling Dallas and STB Houston?

Stub here with 3 months in. I work in litigation for a AM100 regional office. No issues with hours yet (45% over target) but just learned a 2nd and 3rd year missed their hours goal this year. Should I seek out projects from the transactional team during slow periods to ensure I hit billable, or is that frowned on?

What’s the range of buy-ins for junior partners?

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”.

How do I tell a firm I screened with that another firm I screened with is moving forward with full rounds? I would prefer the former firm, even though the latter firm is ranked higher. Thanks for any advice

Did anyone here turn down an in-house role for reasons other than money? I have SEVERE cold feet about succeeding in-house and it being more stressful and “busy” than firm life. Help!

Good WFH office equipment/tech… go. Just got a Steelcase Gesture office chair and it is game changing. Realize I haven’t really been using firm stipend for electronics/office stuff and need to step my game up. What else is out there you enjoy?

White collar folks - how busy are you guys now?

After you give your two week notice, what message do you relay to your co-workers? For context, I would prefer not to mention my new firm to them and I don’t want to discuss my reasons for leaving. Is it appropriate to note that I am keeping it close to my chest until I officially lateral or would that come off as odd/unprofessional?

Month end! How many hours did we bill for March? And how many of us entered it all in the last two days 😬🙋🏻‍♀️

Currently thinking plants and potentially wall art.

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).
