How long did it take you to find opportunities to be in the practice area you really want to be in? I’ve found it incredibly difficult to break into what I want to do, and I know that the more senior I become the harder it will be to find an opportunity retool.

Do you think there’s a glass ceiling for out gay employees? I’ve been with my (now) husband for the last two decades and had three positions. I’ve absolutely excelled in each, winning awards, exceeding goals, working well. But with each position, I’ve had difficulty getting promoted. I even took on the responsibilities of a senior director after his firing and I couldn’t get promoted. My handpicked successor — who I think is an excellent marketer — became a director almost immediately.

New concept: firm that pays well above market and manageable equity partnership track but every month the lowest biller of each practice group is automatically fired.

I have been working my tail off since coming back to work after a parental leave (which my boss was not happy or impressed about me taking) to get back in good standing. Today was my bi-annual review and the partners left me such glowing reviews it left me in tears to see that my hard work to both be there for my family and make it in my career has been noticed 😭

Getting really frustrated with my job. Im by far the busiest associate my year level, and there are 2 people in my group who literally have no work at all. I feel like I keep missing targets and the partners are disappointed in me, but it’s hard to motivate when I see others not doing anything. I know I should be grateful bc the partners think I’m better than the others (and job security) but I can’t seem to convince myself to care.

Do any practicing attorneys still use Examples and Explanations (E&E) to learn areas of law?

Doesn’t if feel a little sad that we need to spend 10+ years kissing &&& only to finally have a shot at making non-equity partner and spend another 10+ years wining and dining equity partners? Maybe I should just start my own firm

Does anyone do trusts and estates at an AmLaw firm? I always thought that was more of a boutique practice area. Was contacted by a recruiter, and while I'm happy with almost everything about where I'm at, the way people discuss AmLaw salaries, I feel like I should consider it since it would probably be a significant jump in salary. I'm at 120k TC, and the only way it's going up is with increased bonuses or share of originations (and I am not a networker).

Is it possible to be both lit and transactional?

Anyone have a sense at whether the hybrid model is here to stay? I’m honestly not sure if I would stick it out in commercial lit if I had to go to the office every day

Curious about non-US attorneys: are you working the crazy hour weeks most of us in the US do? Or are your weeks closer to 40 hours? I hear a lot about the working hour caps, vacation requirements, etc in Europe/Canada. Curious if that flows into legal practice... or if it gets ignored. To clarify—I’m talking about BigLaw. I’m sure there are smaller firms with reasonable hours, the same exists in the US.

Am I making enough profit for my firm?

I became a 2 year lawyer in September. I started working at my firm, a mid-sized firm practicing commercial business litigation and PI, in March of 2020. Last year I made the firm $180k from my billable hours and I was paid $85k + full health and other benefits.

This year, I'm on track to make about $150k and to make the firm about $450k from my billable hours and PI cases that I originated and settled.

Trying to do right for my firm. I'm treated well.

Do you guys remember doing character and fitness? I didn't have any issues with it but apparently the bar association can contact your landlord?

I remember questioning how they could even obtain some of the stuff they are asking for if you were not forthcoming. For instance, how would they know if you've been civilly sued if that's not always public information or how would they know if you are current on your taxes?

If a pure employment law firm has a solid mix of private clients and insurance carriers, would you still call it insurance defense?

Argued in court yesterday against a guy in a tan suit. Tan. Suit. I'm not kidding.

Confession: I love staying home with my husband and dog, and I kinda dread the pandemic ending. I don’t want to be forced to leave my house. I never want to go to the office again. I don’t really miss socializing with colleagues and friends. I absolutely love staying home and dread the day I’m expected to go into the office even a couple of days a week. I think I’ll be very depressed leaving my husband and dog every day after seeing how nice it is to stay home with them.
