Saw my second gray hair today and it's on the middle of my head. Makes me want to find a guy before im too silver and bald 😔

Why do partners tell associates to be cost-conscious when billing for certain clients when they can just cut your hours on the back end?

Anyone else think this corporate life isn’t for them?

Hello everyone. I am currently a HRIS call center rep. I assist clients with payroll, benefits, and platform questions daily. I am looking to move into a position more back office or even customer experience with less constant phone calls. I have over 10 years customer service experience. I also have history in the banking industry. I am about to start a bootcamp to become a Data Analyst but looking for a new role ASAP. Please let me know if you can help.

The dir of the gen-ed preschool my self-contained room is attached to just let the staff know that she gave notice. I’m devastated.

Anyone here who is a CA?

Hi there! Does anybody have the time and energy to look through my resume and give me feedback? First time applying since being in school and would REALLY appreciate it

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.

Got an offer from pwc in the data privacy role.
With 13.5 Lpa currently i’m at 12 and made switch on march.
Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

Hello! How many of you are missing street food in hyd?

How to get onto my first actual strategy project? Experienced hire, consultant level in US. Been on a pmo outside of OP for 10 months…about to roll off

I work in digital media & recently received a promotion (for background - going from mid-level to mid-senior level), as well as a 27% raise. Is this pretty average/low/high?

Anybody have experience with JD-specific mortgage loans? I know BBVA offers one

I’m a third year in corporate and want to switch to tax. Am I too late? How do I ask my firm?

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

At my law firm, only senior associates and partners go to court and take depositions. Is this normal for a big/vault law firm?

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.

What does it mean when a partner gives associates, especially junior associates, origination credit? Practically, I don't think it makes a difference except maybe for bonuses, but I'm wondering if there's any deeper meaning than extending gratitude?

Can you name a firm (preferably NY office) that lets its associates work from a different country with no issues? The mid-size firm I’m currently at has been very flexible during covid but I’m looking to change firm (biglaw). Since my family is abroad I find it extremely valuable to be able to do this (I did this even before covid for a couple of weeks, twice a year). I’ve heard firms like Latham and Paul Weiss don’t allow it for tax reasons.

Anyone ever register an expensive car in Montana under a LLC to avoid taxes?

Leaving after one year to another biglaw firm?

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Incoming transactional attorney. Will be licensed (hopefully—July bar taker) in a non-UBE state. My firm has offices in almost every major city.

Do I need to wait 5 years before being able to waive into states to become licensed there, in case I want to leave my current state? How does that work?

Best to Worst in terms of work-life balance: Tech Trans, M&A or Capital Markets? (California if that makes a difference)

Anyone have any insight into the financial services practice group at Troutman Pepper?

I'm thinking of leaving firm life and applying to the NY SG's office. Anyone heard anything about it (work environment, prestige, etc.)?

Does anyone use blue light glasses? Do they help? I get headaches almost every day and I’m sure it’s because I’m glued to the screen all day. Wondering how to alleviate them without popping 4 ibuprofens a day.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

Housecleaning services?
I’m in midtown west and need a new housecleaner. Looking to pay $100/cleaning. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who is trustworthy and reliable? I would also need them to do laundry (laundry is one floor above and below me - every other floor in my building).
