I am completely shocked. I am coming from big law and interviewing at a boutique. After a very long final interview, I was asked for references and then we discussed salary and set up a time for a final brief meeting in person. I thought the offer was coming and then when I arrived I was told by the receptionist the partner had already left for the day. No call or email or reply to my follow up WTF?! Would you continue the process or just move on at this point? Red flag!!!!

Des idées de salaires de manager (fixe, bonus, total comp) à Paris en MBB ? J'ai en tête un package autour de 180-200 ça vous semble comment ?

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?

I am a Reliability Maintenance 3P contractor for Amazon. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering on June 2022. I’ve been working with Amazon for a year, but there’s a lack of prospective EE positions within the company. The job postings I see are either less or barely above my current salary. I’m not sure if staying longer is beneficial for my future career as an Electrical engineer. I plan on getting my FE license within the next 6 months. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

Hi ladies! I’ve been using the same perfume for 10 years now and looking for a new go-to scent. Im looking for recommendations to try. What are your favorites? A lot of scents give me headaches, so nothing too strong and nothing too floral please. TIA!

Recommendations for ergonomic office chair? Wfh is going to go on for awhile so want to invest. Budget is about $300

Are more massive layoffs coming? What industries (in-house/ecomm) are safest right now or during a recession?

It’s interesting to see several articles and surveys emerging saying the initial bump in productivity from mass remote working has started to come down or even go negative as the novelty wears off and people start to get worn down from longer hours, the stresses of having kids at home full time, burn out from increased workloads, stress from the pandemic, etc. Curious to here people’s thoughts, do you think you’re less productive now than back around the April timeframe?

Does anyone have any book recommendations for information on buying a house?

EMBAs — what was your mindset/approach during your program? Did you prioritize school over work? Vice versa? Neither?

Want to prioritize school (mentally) and leverage workplace as a lab to experiment with diff ideas I learn in class (rather than focusing on going above and beyond for the next promo). Is this a recommended approach?

I find it really hard to eat healthy when I'm on site...especially when the majority of my lunches are quick ones spent at the desk. How do you handle eating well when there's no time to think about anything but work during the day??

I think we have tried our best to explain to hopeful “Magas” nothing is changing and trump just needs their money. They hate logic, facts and truth. Can we please stop wasting our energy. 😅

Can i get released from project while being on notice period ?

How do I tell a firm I screened with that another firm I screened with is moving forward with full rounds? I would prefer the former firm, even though the latter firm is ranked higher. Thanks for any advice

Shoutout to the partners who set firm, clear boundaries with clients about timelines so that I, a junior, don't have to work like everything is an emergency.

You the real mvps. 🫡

Which firms have no billable requirement and centralized staffing?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Former big law associate here who burned out. Now a corporate inhouse counsel.

Been recovering and considering going back to actual legal practice.

I feel I need a new practice area.

One that impacts people’s lives and is meaningful, but where you don’t have to deal with disturbing facts and personal tragedies.

Any suggestions?

Who’s working on the twitter acquisition? The dataroom has to be nuts.

Are any other Clark Hill attorneys, especially midlevels and seniors, incredibly disappointed with comp this year? I know they are conservative generally and don’t pay market anywhere, but this is bad for them even.

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

How many people did you interview with during the lateral process? I’ve met with 4 already and am scheduled for another 10-12 people (mostly partners), which seems like a lot

Is it common for a midlevel to gossip with a first year about another first year’s work? Is it common for midlevels to trash juniors amongst themselves? I think my office is hella toxic

Quit quit quitttttyyyy time!

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

I’m an associate in a busy bankruptcy group (just started after a clerkship) and I’ve started to have to to turn down work because I’m too busy (I don’t tell partners no, but say something along the lines of “I don’t think I’d be able to start on that for a day or two”). How much is too much for saying no to work? This week I’ve been billing like 10hrs a day and worked late 3 nights

Great Idea: Let's mandate RTO industry-wide to kick off flu season.

Well friends. We got cocky and pulled the happy hour trigger a little too early this evening.

Got the "plz draft and send" at 6:30.

Is it better to quit or get laid off? I know what to look for when being pushed out and with a combination of the work I don’t have and the work the firm seemingly doesn’t have, it just feels like a mess. I’ll note I have other job offers lined up because I felt uneasy here for a bit.

How do you justify a $100k pay cut to go in house?
