Sooooo bored with the work but love the money and am generally happy with the team/people I work with. Should I lateral or go in-house so I get a chance to work those management/stakeholder engagement muscles? Just don’t feel challenged anymore. Is another option to talk to the partners and ask for more interesting/higher quality work?

Lateraled to a new firm a few months ago and thinking about asking for mental health leave…I know I need to do it, but I feel like an utter failure for having to do so

How good is the biglaw lateral market right now for junior associates? Especially if looking to switch practice groups? I’m at a V100/Am100 firm in NYC.

How long is the current lateral market craze expected to last?

Is maternity leave paid at your firm? My old smaller firm had paid leave and I’m now at a v100 firm with no published policy on maternity leave 😊

After many years of doing purely corporate law, I recently moved inhouse to do structured finance. Honestly, I am in unknown territories. My boss also not patient about my re-learning process yet they knew from the interview that I know close to nothing about structured finance. I am 2 months into my 6 months probation period and I am worried that I might have bit more than I can chew. FYI - I am doing all I need to do to learn (books) but still struggling. Any pointers on how to get it faster.

The other day I had a dream that I got an offer from a top v10 law firm. I became so emotional that I actually woke up with tears of joy. To many of us, Big Law in New York is a dream…

How many hours do you aim to bill every week or every day? Everyone talks about months and it’s hard for me to visualize that.

I’m currently a 2nd year associate in commercial finance. I’ve realized I don’t enjoy a a strictly transactional practice. I enjoyed litigation matters as a summer (particularly the adversarial nature). Also, love talking and advising clients. I don’t want the litigation lifestyle and appreciate the in-house opportunities of transactional. Assuming that I could switch (or lateral), I’m thinking I may enjoy employment (and the ability to defend and train/advise). I appreciate any insight.

Got an email late last night from my partner asking where my comments were. The email was fine, but they replied all to everyone in the email. So annoyed, but also very glad I am giving notice tomorrow.

I’d like to get modest appreciation gifts for some of the junior associates I work with (think bottle of wine, maybe chocolate), but some are in other offices. Any recommendations on how to do this, or should I just send them a gift card?

What’s a good way to tell a staffing coordinator that I’m doing too much of X deals, though I’m more interested in Y deals and want to prioritize getting staffed on Y moving forward? My hours are low and feel like they’ll reach out soon to staff me on another X deal, but I’m trying to protect my time and save it for a Y deal. I do want them to know that though I’ve done a lot of X deals, I really don’t enjoy them and prefer getting staffed on Y deals.

Junior here. Any advice on how to deal with a mid who rushes my work?

I’m on a matter where the mid regularly rushes my work. If I say something will take me an hour, they will instead have a 20 minute conversation telling me it should take me 30 minutes. When I let them rush me, I inevitably make mistakes.

Whenever I say something will take me time, they ask me why. When I explain why (e.g., number of documents, I want to double-check X), they tell me they don’t want to hear my excuses.
