Has anybody made the switch from strategy to account late in their career? I’m 15 years in and having nightmares about another 40 years of making decks nobody cares about.

Anyone tried getting WFH extension on medical grounds?

Does anyone know how insurance work when you leave a company? Say I leave on day X, does my insurance ends on day X as well or it will last til the end of the two week period after my last paycheck (because insurance premium is still held from paycheck)? And does medical insurance reimburse / cover based on the date of treatment or the date of they processing the claim? Thank you so much!

Is it a big deal if a partner questions how much time you spent on something? Can’t they just write off time that seems excessive, or am I missing something? Sometimes I take a really long time to do things because I switch matters frequently, and I do a lot of research to make sure I’m doing things right.

Can you ever get back into BigLaw after going In House Counsel?

Any advice on how to get into Big Law for a nontraditional law school grad? Previous work experience in the Senate, White House, and Homeland Security.

Has anyone or is anyone considering paying their secretaries via Venmo? I know it’s not classy but at the end of the day, they just want money and that’s the fastest way to give them that. I’ve heard of some gift card scams lately so I’m hesitant to go that route this year.

A partner put me in charge of a specific project that I ran independently. Things were going well. The client began asking me to do more and more, including revamping their system and internal trainings. The client even gave me a litigation matter. Suddenly, the partner became more involved. I was removed from meetings concerning the revamping, my trainings were cancelled, and he started micromanaging. He has now sidelined me from the project and trash talked me to the client. I am very upset.

Does anybody know if WilmerHale would consider hiring a 2019 as remote/almost all remote (meaning work at home and come in when truly necessary but not just X number of days a week without a reason)?

Any insight greatly appreciated!

PSA: Buy a house if you are able. I spent the first 5 years in big law annoyed and upset with many things but my life has gotten so much better since I bought a house. I now have a separate office to work from and actually like working from home. I no longer have loud neighbors I share a wall or ceiling/floor with. I have an extra room for my mother in law to stay in and visit my infant child (instead of taking him to her house for visits only once a month). Also no worry about rent hikes.

My secretary’s birthday is coming up, and of course Christmas. Any good gift recs? What is an appropriate amount to spend? In the past I’ve just done cash/Amazon gift card, or a spa gift card.

Are you killing your career if you drop down from big law to mid law? 4.5 years in and I can’t deal anymore. Not even sure what my career goals are so maybe doesn’t matter. 2 cents?

Just got an iPad and looking for app recommendations, particularly for marking up PDFs. Would also appreciate any other recs/advice y’all have for a new iPad user. Thanks in advance!

To all the star junior and mid-level associates,
How did you become a go-to associate?

How do NYC big law real estate groups hold up during recessions? Is there more stability than other corporate groups?

Can we be honest for a second? No one has a clear policy for how we should be billing our time and no one wants to ask. I’ve heard perspectives ranging from, “a good faith estimate at the end of the week is sufficient” to “you need to have a timer going at all times and if you don’t turn it off when you pee, you’re committing an ethical violation”... also, “Bill anything that moves the deal forward” vs. “You can’t bill for collating documents. That’s not legal work.”
