I am looking to enter big law. I had a clerkship on a state Business Calendar and am a current first year litigation associate where I have prepared for a trial, taken and defended depositions, and have extensive motion writing practice in tech, business, and employment cases. Is it a waste of time to try and make a move to big law with such few years of experience?

So I’m thinking of taking a pharmacy tech course at my local community college. I already work in healthcare on the admin side (authorizations, front desk etc) & looking to get a certification that’s quick & don’t have to go back to school.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

I’ve really lost my confidence in the last few years on some awful gigs! I’ve been @ this a decade+, produced jobs up to $1M, but just can’t get back on the horse. I need work, more freelance or staff. How do I approach a HOP for a producer or Jr role instead of a Sr? I’ve trained so many PA’s, I want mentorship too. A prior HOP had me almost running the Dept, they were so stressed but now I don’t want that pressure. Would it be so bad for your AP to have Sr prod skills?! Or let me Jr BA. Help!

I'm trying to choose between IBM Corporate Strategy and Innosight. I like both opportunities. Innosight pays more, but I've never had a big brand like IBM on my resume. Additionally, I'm worried whether Innosight's exit opportunities are slimmer than IBM. Would anyone have some advice on what I should pick / how I should think about this?

Has anyone considered opening a franchise? I would love to transition from law to business but have zero experience and am thinking a franchise may be the best option.

I’ve been hired by a health benefits startup with only consulting experience. Any recommendations for books, blogs, or online course material to get myself as oriented as possible before starting in 2 weeks?

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

Any idea. How is IIM bangalore 2 year weekend MBA?

I used to think all of the offers on here were inflated. Turns out, they weren’t. After 10+ years in consulting I’m taking my total comp from 200k to….
200k base, 30% bonus, 75k sign on, 125k RSU initial grant (over 3 years). Fully remote in LCOL. Feels surreal.

How should I react to a super disrespectful manager? She had a meeting today and google meet stopped working. Instead of thinking: oh a technical problem occurred she started blaming me saying that I should have created a corrected link. When I told her that was quite impossible her answer was: I forgot you are miss I am never wrong Linksare autogenerated by google meet, if I was able to “create” links and codes I would not have been her assistant but already in the valley making tons of money.

I joined a company very recently as a marketing director. We hired an agency to help with everything from branding to paid media and website optimization. We paused rebrand work because it was directionless. For paid media there wasn’t a brief, so I had my team put one together for the agency and we were very prescriptive with what we were looking for. The agency didn’t deliver and I’ve reached the conclusion they’re not a good fit for us. I’ve never cut ties with an agency. Any advice??

Urgent since I have to make a decision by today. I have two offers: one is general real estate (a variety of work) and the other is focused on real estate finance. I’m a junior associate and I’ve been leaning toward the latter since the team seemed to be more flexible. But the first team seems to be more enthusiastic about me joining (multiple associates and partners called me to congratulate me). I’m very torn. Which one should I go to?

I’m a 5th yr considering lateraling from a V30 to a V100 to increase chances at partnership. The v100 makes a fair amount of partners in my practice and I would assess my chances at making equity partner there to be relatively good for BL. At the V30 equity partnership odds seem much lower, but my reviews have been good. The V30 has >$2mm per year higher PPP, higher chambers ranking and better exit ops generally.

Any advice as to how to decide on the offer? What else should I consider?

My supervising partner keeps encouraging me to take vacation time. Everyone else in my group has taken several vacations recently.
However, my hours hit rock bottom for several months at the beginning of Covid. It is impossible for me to reach my annual target this year. I have the ability to bill 50+ hours over my monthly target now.

I’m a sixth year at a regional NJ/NYC midsize firm (~70 Atty’s) practicing Employment and Labor, what are my chances in being able to lateral to a big NYC firm? Did I miss my shot?

WHERE IS MY RAISE

I started at a v100 firm in NY 6 months ago from a regional firm in the transactions group. Since work has been slow I haven’t had too many opportunities to do good work for partners but I feel I have when given the chance.

However, one partner who is notoriously difficult has given me a number of assignments and is an extreme micromanager and know it all. Now when I get an email from him my stomach drops as nothing positive ever comes out of it. Does anyone have advice on coping with this?

Anybody here know starting salary for a second year attorney at Ogletree Deakins and/or Fisher Phillips in their LA or SF offices?

Once I get my bonus (tomorrow) what are the drawbacks of telling my biglaw firm I interviewed with another firm and am strongly considering accepting their soon-to-be offer (at a higher salary)?

For context: the relevant partners at the new firm already told me there will be an offer, it just needs to be written up, and they want me as soon as possible.

The obvious biggest risk is my firm fires me and the new firm, for whatever reason, pulls the offer. Anything else I’m not considering?

Very big dumb question...when is someone considered a 2nd, 3rd year associate, etc.? Is it based on start date or at year end? For example, say I started my stub year October 1, 2021. Am I considered a second year starting October 1, 2022 or is it January 1, 2023? Mainly curious not so much for job title but for when the annual salary increases take effect...

What the hell do litigators do after biglaw

How many of you have ended relationships or been broken up solely due to time issues with this job? Did you have a wake up all and quit after or stay put?

I lateraled to a new firm because I was eager to take on more responsibility that wasn’t available at my prior firm. I was very upfront about this when I interviewed with the new firm and was guaranteed more substantive work. Half a year in, I am getting the same work as the first years as a mid-level. I’ve always been told that I operate above my class year but this has been frustrating and I feel like I’m regressing. Anyone else experience this?
