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.

Best thing to do with 100k+ Marriott points over the next year or so? Currently been knocked down to gold due to covid and lack of travel. Have a family+kids

Today I would like to give a review of Moon Technolabs (ahemdabad, gujrat)
My cousin recently joined this company. I would never recommend joining this company.Pathetic management,no wlb , working with this company will be very stressful for devs due to bed managers they forced junior dev to work 14hrs a day not only that but giving so much work pressure, unrealistic deadlines, giving threats to Jr dev if they didn't work they'll downgrade them even After working 12+ hrs. Due to bond cnt left.

Pretty sad, No one is responding here in this bowl 🙂

How is the work load in cognizant for Sr associate and infrastructure specialist?

Has anyone worked at or heard of Rev Health in NJ? Wondering what the culture and work/life balance is like there.

A lot of people here seem to glamorize MANGA positions - good pay, and good WLB. There has to be a catch, right?

Anyone else struggle with discipline?

I know what my goals are. I know that I need to work out and eat healthy to achieve them. But somehow I still choose to be a couch potato on my free time.


Any advice?

How bad is WLB at ZS?

Sleeping tips??

Ever since Covid I’ve started having trouble sleeping because I dream of attacks happening in various locations (weird I know). I’m normally *very* practical/pragmatic about that sort of thing, and I’m fine again once I wake up, so I’m pretty sure it’s just a reflection of feeling like I can’t control the situation as every time I can’t seem to stop my fiancé from dying no matter what I do :(

Seeing a lot of convo in the main bowl about bonuses in the US. They are mentioned on the rewards site but are these really a thing in the UK? and if so what do they look like usually at different levels?

I joined sept 2019 as lvl11, no bonus that year, then covid in 2020, now I’m at lvl 10 and wondering if individual bonus is normal at my level

How is wlb in accenture AI? What role they give to level 9?

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Left IBD to quickly - VP1 opps?

Long story short - was lured into an opportunity to do BD for a large PE PortCo… better work/life balance, but honestly miss the deal cycle.

Anyone know of open VP1 opps right now?

Thanks!

My clients wish to write a testimonial/review for my RE broker services. What is the best site/medium for this? Yelp? Google Review? Zillow? Facebook?

One of lenders I am working with is asking for 750 pre payment to finish he application, which has lie, 30 pages of signatures.

The other lender gave me a preapproval letter. Is the 750@ normal thing? First time home buyer here, feel like I’m about to screw myself over.

Currently a 2nd yr lit associate (big law) in NY considering a move to a TX big law firm for the financial opportunity. Would leave to hear thoughts on this type of move or from someone who’s done so!

What's the best firm to work for in Dallas? Genuinely curious.

At what price point can you no longer justify flying the same airline? For example, if you’re top status on Delta but American has the same flight for $200 less that week, do you fly American?

Do T2 consulting firms (think Kearney, OW) and MBB hire experienced professionals WITHOUT MBA (I.e., is a prestigious MBA mandatory in the region?). I already have a post-MBA position

Boston biglaw associates, do you pay for monthly parking and drive into the office? Or do you still ride the T?

3rd Year v15 Biglaw lit associate, curious what people’s experience with going in house as a litigator has been. For those that have made the switch, did you have a sense of whether it was feasible for you to transition back to biglaw?

If a partner asked you to do non-client related/may help later work, how long is too long to get back to them? Came to big law as a second year from a smaller firm (three years out). First year (who should be a second year) is emailing me trying to figure out where are things with a federal notice summary (I allowed them to help). Can I tell the first year to chill? I feel like if the partner needed it ASAP, they would have said so. I turned in the summary less than 72hrs later. Nbd/big deal?

Can I quit a job I started Monday? Lmao

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…

Leaving after one year to another biglaw firm?

I’m an infant associate: what does it mean to “tie out a cap table”? Can someone ELI5? People at my firm are super nice especially because I’m so junior, but I don’t want to bother anyone over the long weekend.

I am on partnership track. However a few partners I work with started to act kind of cold lately. It is hard to put it on words. But this is getting harder as it hurts my feelings. I sort of feel left alone. It is like I am in a war to get what I want. Has anyone gone through similar experience during their partnership track? Any suggestions?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Been at my firm for less than a year. Giving notice next week and feeling very guilty. I know they’ll be cordial, but it’s causing me a lot of anxiety. Anyone else go through this recently? How did you deal with it?

Is getting into crypto law a bad idea or is it a burgeoning field??

Partners - what was the most stressful year of your career? The year before you made partner? Your first year of partnership? The year(s) you or your partner gave birth?

Hi All - I’m at a firm that has some infrequent in-house training but not enough to help me develop skills to eventually become a trial lawyer. I know cases rarely make it to trial anymore, but I’d like to develop my skills as much as possible to position myself well when they do. Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?

Is it true that there’s a lot of 2-4 year lateraling in January?

Does anyone know if big law transactional experience in the US is useful to move to Spain and practice there? No issues language or immigration wise. If you know any recruiters in this context even better!

Thoughts on Ogletree as an associate? Salary/day to day life

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.

Help! What the hell was I think switching to transactional real estate with a small corporate component? 😳 I feel so rushed all the time, like I can’t get a second to focus and these documents are endlesssss and boringggg. I’m a second year in a mid sized firm that pays close to big law and works opposing big law. Words of inspiration or wisdom, please.
