How much do you all have invested in safer funds vs stocks (outside of retirement accts)?
Currently at a NW of ~350k and have 125k in funds and around 70k in stocks, including ESPP. I’m fairly young (late 20s) and wondering if I should throw more into the stock market over the next few months or wait it out for a correction

i’m at work literally stressed about $3.5k (spread across there states) and this is why i can’t stand state taxation.

how you gonna shut down a business license over $100?!

My wallet got stolen month and a half ago its worth 700K today .... By the way money invested was 10K only.

Was disappointed for couple days because it was my mistake for not paying attention to the scammers.

Back in the market and recovered the losses and money invested, isnt this an amazing bull market!!

By the way im not rich so that money would have gave me a life change.

What should i ape on next fellas?

Anyone know good cpas or tax preparers? Mine should be fairly straightforward, but I’ve worked in 3 different states so worried that’s going to complicate things for me

Anyone use the WHOOP strap? I created a team for traveling consultants - DM me your user name and I’ll add you to the team!

Has anyone here ever been fired for being rude to a customer?

What do I need to do to make a few million $ by 35?

What are you reading for yourself? I'm rereading Henry Miller...

When is it appropriate to follow up after an interview for a lateral position? Had a screener call 2 weeks ago and then an interview with the partner + senior associate last Thursday where it was mentioned that they would “likely” want me to meet more people. I’m getting anxious but don’t want to bug them!

I want to get out of ID so badly. I don’t mind the work but the hours are just killing me. I just started at a new firm less than 6 months ago and I am already desperate to get out. It is not the firm or the people. I just hate the high billables. I have been applying to other jobs but I think I may need a recruiter for help. Any recommendation for a great recruiter in NYC?

Any ENFP lawyers out there who are happy? What do you practice? Just saw that a job not for this personality was “corporate attorney”... so just curious.

I need an assistant/paralegal. Probably part time at first. I live/work in a small city in Oklahoma, solo practice. I would like approx 10 billable hours/week (if part time) from them. What do i look for in one? Pay amount? (Most here make around $12/hour). Incentives for bonus money?

What’s your take on Lydecker? What is the culture? Market salary? Expectation on billable hours? Mentorship? Etc.?

Do you think remote interviewing will continue after the pandemic? It’s made interviewing so much more convenient.

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. Anyone else feel like filing for telephonic appearance so the insurance company can save a buck isn’t going to sit well with judges who prefer in person attendance? I hope they deny all of them so my billables don’t suffer. Less travel = more desk bs I have to do to hit quota

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

When negotiating a sign on bonus with a new firm based on the fact that you were anticipating a bonus for that fiscal year and are leaving before that is paid out, do you have to do anything to prove you would have actually received a bonus/the amount of bonus you would have received?

What’s the most unethical thing you’ve seen OC get away with?

Any insight on working as a staff attorney at Sidley as far as pay, growth, hours, etc.? I had someone reach out to me about a staff attorney role there and just want to hear opinions.

Defendant fired his lawyer and decided to represent himself. At the hearing on his attorney’s motion to withdraw, my colleague referred to Defendant as pro se and Defendant gets mad and says “I don’t agree with what you’re saying, idk what that means!!” Um if you don’t know what pro se means maybe you shouldn’t be a pro se defendant 😳

What productivity hacks do you employ? I like to shut off my email for 25 min intervals to focus on real work. It’s like a sprint of focus without being “unavailable” too long.

I got a job offer at Fisher Phillips and I’m debating on taking it. Does anyone have any insights on the firm’s culture? Is there a decent work/life balance? And if you know, what is the average salary for a third year attorney?

Lawyers who have gone in-house to work for a client - how does that conversation start? Who approaches whom?

What is everyone’s: (1) billable hours this year; (2) practice group; (3) year; and (4) size of law firm?

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize

Linguistic question, should an associate say "my partner" when talking to a client about a partner? To me this comes off like implying your also a partner, but saying "our partner" sounds weird too...
