How many places did you apply to for your lateral search and how long did everything take to get offers from when you decided to start applications? How long did you have to accept offers? What did you negotiate? How long did you have before you were required to start at the new place?

How is PwC India?

I live alone and work for myself. Having horrible productivity issues right now. Its a cycle of procrastination and shame. Horrible mindset to have while trying to “create”. Working out hasn’t helped

At any level above Senior, how do u manage the relationship between utilization and realization, which is an inverse relationship. Seems to be either blow the budget (and write it off), or eat a lot of time.

I’m a salaried employee, am I legally entitled to get paid for December 28, 29 and 30 if our company tells me I don’t need to work on those days?

Has anyone here ever tried negotiating “at will” employment terms in the US? I’m curious what specific terms folks have asked for and how the potential employer reacted.

Can anyone help me knowing work culture and type of work in CAPS team in @Evalueserve.

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

Milbank colleagues: I’m in alt. investments in NY. Haven’t been super busy the past 6 weeks. Have you? What am I doing wrong?

Putting aside wachtell, what do we think are the best M&A shops for high value deals?

Anybody have experience with JD-specific mortgage loans? I know BBVA offers one

Do you avoid going to shows and concerts that restrict use of electronics? I want to go to a comedy show during the week, but there's a disclaimer that they kick you out If you're checking phone/smart watch, etc. I'm also thinking of shows where they put your phone in one of those dumb locking bags

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?

What should your realization rate be as a first year? I have not gotten any negative feedback but my realization rate seems...bad

How often do you drink? To what extent?

Does anyone have any insight on being a junior associate at Lewis Brisbois? How does it compare to similar firms for workload/salary/bonuses?

4th year V20 corp associate looking to switch into litigation and don’t mind starting over as first/second year at a V50. I know it’s an unusual switch and would appreciate any thoughts/advice/predictions re success of switching. For context I went to a decent law school and got decent grades (great 1L mediocre 2/3L).

Any July ‘21 NY exam takers hear back from C&F yet? I submitted in late Dec but haven’t heard anything but I saw a friend got sworn in already. (Second Division btw)

Any idea why certain of the larger biglaw firms do not allow descriptive associate website bios unlike the more middle v100 firms?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

I do miss seeing my colleagues sometimes but being able to actually use random breaks in the day that you get in transactional, especially as a junior, productively (work out, cook a meal, fold laundry) has made this job so much easier and sustainable for me. It’s still exhausting and so unpredictable and the December crush is killing me but I don’t know how anyone did this for more than a year or two pre-Covid when people spent all day and evening in the office.

There are many resources on good legal writing (Garner, Guberman, etc). Can anyone recommend a good resource on effective appellate oral advocacy?

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

Should midlevel lawyers get presents for their juniors?

Junior associates c/o 2020–how much did you put towards loans in 2021? (Money stashed away for post-forbearance also counts.) I’m bummed I did not do as well as I wanted to, and am just curious how others did and looking for motivation/advice. Graduated with 300k, put away about 45k this year.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

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.
