What do you do in terms of investment? I know everyone says ETFs if you're going to buy stock, but do you usually do recurring investments and if so, how much? (Currently a mid and feeling like I have too much cash sitting around.)

Any recommendations for financial advisors in Chicago? Would prefer a woman. TIA!

What is a reasonable expectation for number of documents to review per week for a junior associate? Managing a doc review with a lot of documents to go through and need to assign some batches out to a few junior associates. We’re at a firm where associates on average bill 2400 per year (just mentioning that for a general idea of workload expectations that our associates are well aware of). So we generally have an expectation that associates will grind it out but I also want to be (cont’d)

I know there are a ton of posts on billable hours requirements at many firms but do any other mid/senior level associates spend a TON of time on non-billables - group/dept./firm meetings; training; events; business development (writing articles, doing webinars, networking; outside association events); etc.? I feel like the number of hours spent on this is lost in the discussion sometimes and I know I spend an additional 300-400 hours on this per year. Anyone else?

Really like research/writing and creative problem solving. Are there any transactional practices that involve larger projects with fewer moving pieces?

Are large firms disorganized? In a quest to quickly get work done, and to be thorough, it seems to me that large firms just throw bodies at the issue. No project management, no clear delineation of duties, no planning.

After clerking, my BF recently accepted an offer from and joined a V50 firm (been there a few weeks). Shortly before his start date, he heard back from a V5 firm (one he’s wanted to join for a while) and just got an even better offer. Practice groups at each firm are also different.

How should he break the news to the V50 firm to minimize reputational risk, etc.?

My friend got into a significant car accident and is going to sue the other person. Would it raise any issues with my firm (or destroy client confidentiality?) if I sit it on phone calls between her and her lawyer? I'm not a litigator so not used to this world.

Need some perspective -

Looking to lateral into a fully remote ECVC role to have more flexibility to move closer to family and to hopefully have a better work life balance. However, I was told by my recruiter that Cooley, Gunderson, and Goodwin said they’re not offering remote roles in ECVC at this time. For some context, I’m class of 2019 coming from a V10 with M&A and CapM experience. Anyone hearing or seeing similar things? Curious if fully remote is no longer offered as much or if the ECVC market has slowed.

Getting a staffing request that require weekend work out of nowhere on Friday night and donating my big law money to abortion funds to feel better (it worked, a little). That is all.
