How much does “experienced” consultant makes at Guidehouse? Someone Ik got an offer from them and his only work experience is one year at a boutique consulting firm. He says the offer is around 100k, which is hard for me to believe because the fact he doesn’t have a degree 🤔 not trying to bad mouth him or anything just trying to figure out if my life has been a complete waste. That’s all.

If you’re delinquent on an internal deadline, what is the best way to handle or say to the partner after already apologizing?

Just came across a position on a firm’s website that requires a rare language skill that I have and that I’m otherwise qualified for. I don’t want to just submit an application online because I’ve been doing that for a while and I feel like I’m just screaming into the void. Is there any other way to apply to this position? I was thinking about reaching out to someone within the practice but not sure how appropriate/acceptable that would be. Any advice would be really helpful.

DM me if interested in interviewing at Latham & Watkins 😀😅

Which big law firms average the least hours for associates?

How do you all take care of things outside of work? The last thing I want to do after being hyper-organized at work is figuring out my budget or retirement plan or scrubbing the bathtub or figuring out what to buy at the grocery or planning a vacation. I feel so burnt out I can only just sleep on weekends and can’t bring myself to go out or even do basic self care. I feel bad putting this all on my husband and how would I even have the energy to raise kids??

Diligence of organizational documents. What do you look for?

It’s been painfully slow this past month in my department (corporate law) and I had low hours throughout the summer. I’ve never refused work and have always sent an email to partners when I had slower months asking for more work. I’m definitely not going to hit my target. Should I be worried? I know I’m not the only one in this position but it’s still nerve wracking. Any advise on how to control your anxiety during those times?

Any midlevel or seniors who missed bonus target at a V10? What did the firm do?

Anyone else a Rachel from Partner Track? I bet she’s the one who ends up a partner to the amazement of all the gunners!

What does your firm pay for referral bonuses? My firm pays 5K and I feel like that's really below average....

1st year corporate associate. I’ve only billed 500-600 hrs since September and have a couple of months I billed 20-30 hrs. We don’t really have an assignment system. Should I be worried? I just assumed it will be a lot busier in summer/fall and thought I should enjoy the slow time while I can. But all these posts from other first years freaking out for billing 100 a month is giving me anxiety 😦

DM for referrals to a V10 funds reg/reg funds group. Can be based in NY, DC, LA, Bay, or Houston. Preferably mid-levels but also open to 2nd year+. Pref. big law experience, but open to candidates with other forms of securities law experience.

PetSmart, Serta, J. Crew…what are other big ones that credit lawyers should know well?

I’m pretty sure colleagues at my firm are inflating their billable hours. Is this the norm? I suspect many of you will think this is obvious and/or that I’m naive but wtf? I find hitting 2200 is tough even with a good sized work load. Am I just expected to play the game? I don’t want to sound self-righteous but if most are lying just to make the requirement, then maybe the requirement should be lower.

Having a really bad week at work. Can’t bring myself to do much of anything but cry. Anyone have any good jokes?

If a firm you might lateral to asks for a writing sample, do you use something from your current firm or something from law school as I'm only a 2nd year. And do I use the final version edited by others or my original first draft?
