How much do you bill for reviewing a client email and/or sending a response? Do you ever get any pushback billing for that?

Successful writers, what are your thoughts on feedback where the client or even internal teams want to make copy about the story rather than the audience’s story? So “Meet x, who does x” instead

Does anyone have insight on what I could expect the base salary to be for a program manager position at Capital One? It’s listed as a manager level position in the process and project management category. Any insight would be helpful!

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help. I got the CAPM (certified associate of project management) in December, but that hasn’t really changed things. Would love some opinions before working on another certification!

When taking over managing a project that’s already in progress, what’s your go-to method or process to figure out what the hell is going on holistically?

How many social accounts do you manage on average? I manage all social accounts for 5 of our agencies (16 accounts) + 2 more for a B2C client. I also handle strategy for all internal comms and some new business stuff. I am overwhelmed with my workload yet more agencies are added to my plate every month.

I’m trying to see what the “norm” is so I can ask for hiring an actual team. I worry that my focus is so fractured that the work is subpar and I just want to do a good job!

Recently, I inherited a mess of a project. During the scope stages, it became more and more apparent that effective communication hadn't been established across all key stakeholders.

I'm a firm believer that the right communication establishes a structure for effective project execution. It lays down clear project goals and objectives, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Creating a communication matrix often makes a difference to planning. How do you manage your communication within your projects?

Any tips for running beginners? I’m out of shape and have been making an effort to move daily (5 miles walking). Been jogging intermittently. I’m 5’8 225lb. I am avoiding the gym since covid. Have free weights at home as well. Since NYE, I lost 15lb but want to be more aggressive. Any advice? Thanks :)

Any tips for going from Designer to Art Director? I keep getting feedback that I have a designers portfolio. I have 10 years experience as a designer. I’m stronger conceptually and I want my next role to be in Art Direction. I’ve considered portfolio school but I don’t want to take 2 year off of working. Thoughts? (Currently unemployed)

Thoughts?

Anyone in metro DC looking to transition out?

Hi, I’m currently working in Accenture as Risk and Compliance Analyst. I am looking for a switch. YOE 5.3. Preferred Job Location - Hyd. Could anyone please help me with referral.

Curious- what do you all listen to while you work out?

Has anyone noticed recruiters targeting associates at firms that haven’t matched even harder lately? My firm hasn’t matched (V30) and I’ve gotten two emails that are basically titled “Aren’t you mad you’re underpaid??” Shhhh don’t remind us :(

Ok, I’m preaching to the choir here, but I’m a mid-level lateral, and I get most of my work now from an absolutely toxic partner that I am basically assigned to (firm is very siloed and partner doesn’t like sharing associates). I am getting to the point where I don’t take the tirades personally, but the obvious lack of good leadership leaves me incredibly unmotivated. But the learned helplessness also means that I procrastinate—like right now! Send help!

Work to Billable Ratio First-year: interesting observation after about three months of work, I bill about 2/3 of my “working time.” I’ve compared my productive days because I’ve had some pretty intense outliers recently. On days where I bill 8+, the work to bill ratio is exactly about 66%. Work 12, bill 8. Work 18, bill 12. Have you noticed any interesting trends about your billables like this?

Does anyone know what the heck is going on at Dentons?

I'm up for election next year. Kind of feel like I'm in Squid Game right now.

I've signed on to this, I'm really close to the end, but at a certain point I feel like I just want to check out of the game (and go in-house or something).

Cap markets check in - still low hours? Bouncing back?

Does anyone have intel on Latham's DC office for M&A? Considering a move from a relatively laid back west coast practice and curious about culture/intensity

Anyone know of big law firms in Dallas where you can be M&A, make market/bonus by billing in the 1900-2000 hour range every year and not get fired. To early to decide if I want to shoot for partner or go in house. At this point, just don’t want to bill 2000-2400 hours a year to get a garbage bonus (5%). Double points if the culture isn’t god-awful. Does such a place exist?

Anyone have tips for focusing and not getting distracted by incoming emails that actually work and don’t result in missing the ones that really are urgent? 😂

Anyone else absolutely *loathe* being assigned new client matters at the end of the month when you know your billable time won’t count bc conflicts haven’t cleared yet? Just me?

Has anyone here ever transferred to an office in a city where they weren’t licensed yet? For example - move in September 2021 and keep working. Then take the Bar in Feb 2022.

How does this process work? Is it usually allowed?

I looked at Kirkland and it looks like they have a good amount or corporate associates in Chicago who are only licensed in NY or CA and not IL. (I do not work at Kirkland)

Was anyone in consulting before law? What are your thoughts between the two? Do you like where you are now or do you wish you stayed as a consultant?

Seniors that will say like: “why did you do this?” or “was this in the data room somewhere?” About something that is CLEARLY a mistake or typo (especially when the mid / junior has been billing 60+ hours a week) - why????

Highly Important Question: Puppies. I’ve been working at a smaller firm for the past 2 years and will be starting at a bigger firm (about 400 attorneys) in about a month or so. New firm is about 10 mins. from my house and has a billable requirement of at least 1,650. I’ve got an older pup and have been considering getting a younger pup to be his little brother for a while. Any experiences with having a puppy in mid-size law? Shouldn’t be as bad as “big law” but just wanted to hear thoughts.

For interview purposes, is it okay to use a writing sample that was not heavily edited but nonetheless signed solely by the partner? Our firm typically doesn’t put juniors in sig blocks even though they (obviously) do the laboring.

Was just asked if I could solo a call with an angry client and it’s like, I *can* but I’m scared cuz I’m just a 👶🏼 and I need my paren— I mean partner!
