How was your day?

At some points, I feel I am becoming a problem magnet 🧲. Anything I touch or get involved in, tun into a nightmare despite doing my best not to screw up. I was a top performer a few months ago, and now I am a team blocker. I feel it so hard to disappoint people around me whom I respect a lot. Helpless 😞😞😞

Weekly Hot take. Accessibility=/= easy mode. I know it would take alot more time and resources to develop but more games sould come with accessibility features like color blind mode and maybe a bullet time for jumps. I am not a person with disabilities but i believe Celeste did a pretty good job at adding some of these features. I know it's hard to account for every type of disability but we can at least start with the most common ones.

MY WLB sucks

How do I know Big-Law is not for me?

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time. I did some small work for two partners and they loved it, so put me on new deals but the mid levels I am staffed with absolutely hate the work I do. One said the work I did was laughable. I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.

My entire worldview/outlook on my career and what I want has changed since covid happened. Can someone explain what being “of counsel” is like at larger law firms - are they independent contractors? Make their own hours? How do you get a gig like that? I don’t think I want to be a partner anymore.

Partners - what was the most stressful year of your career? The year before you made partner? Your first year of partnership? The year(s) you or your partner gave birth?

What does a contract attorney position entail? I have been offered a position but want to understand what the real responsibilities are as opposed to what the firm/partners market it to be? Anyone here have experience working as a contract attorney?

Transactional associates: do you bill your time while you are up late at night waiting for either: 1) opposing counsel doc reverts; or 2) when someone senior on your team asks to do something, but you are waiting for them to finish so you can do that something?

Partner: wow, you’re up early

Me: we both know I haven’t gone to bed yet.

Is it worth asking for a pay raise if you know you are leaving the firm soon? Coming up on my one year at a firm. I'm already significantly underpaid, however, they are a smallish firm (15-20 attorneys) and it's insurance work. I'm already on the hunt for a new job and plan to leave within 2-4 months. Is it worth trying to get them to squeeze out more if I know I plan to leave for way more money?

How often do you drink? To what extent?

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Any insight on McDermott’s Delaware office?

Doing a federal clerkship and thinking of my options after. Anyone in NJ/NY/PA biglaw lit group with collegial and pleasant work environment? I do not care about billable requirements/workload, just salary and don’t want to be treated like shit.

I have a clerkship with a bankruptcy judge in a major jurisdiction beginning in September. If I stopped working in April, is that too early or can I stop whenever? I’m not in RX now, but I want to join a major RX group after my clerkship. I’ve been working at the same firm out of law school, so almost 2 years.

I need to take lead on a call tomorrow and have to walk all parties through open issues and our clients thinking on the open issues. I have done this 2-3 times before but am afraid my fear of saying something wrong or using wrong words will overwhelm me again. Please help. Any tips, guidance, good vibes appreciated. For context, this agreement has been bitterly negotiated for three months now.

Anyone here get laid off and then lateraled? Are you happier now?

For those with IB experience - what would a V5 firm be worth? Keen to hear your thoughts on what a firm like Latham / Kirkland would be worth if all partners sold out / what its market cap would be if it IPO’d (like Goldman Sachs when it went public as a partnership) - mostly just for interest’s sake, as I know historically public law firms haven’t done well due to different incentive structures when profits are directed towards shareholders.
