I might actually work for the worst partner in BigLaw. Literally tries to crush my soul. And I’m not sure why, I always try to over deliver. I was planning on leaving for another firm but Covid happened. I feel stuck and helpless, but I’m thankful that I still have income. This isn’t a question, just a statement and cry for help.

HELP! I feel like I can’t even blink without my COVID patients dying.

So I thought I had Covid - I took 6 tests and they all say the P word..
I’m in utter shock still. TTC 3 years

I got laid off because of covid and need to discuss the severance package with my ceo tomorrow. Company offers 6 months, I want more as it probably will take much longer to find a new job.
Any tips for a conversation like this? I’m normally a strong person related to my work but feel very uncomfortable and uncertain right now. He is a good talker and I’m afraid he will walk all over me.

What types of threats are your organizations seeing a rise in since COVID-19 and WFH?

New in healthcare - I’m an X-ray tech (NCT) and also perform phlebotomy, in clinic testing (covid, flu, mono, strep, RSV, blood glucose, h. Pylori, etc), breath alcohol testing, and drug screenings.

How much should I expect to be making with this job?

I’m also in school to get my LMRT license and plan to continue in this job. What can I expect to be making doing the same job but with LMRT license?

Will the discourse be as hot on here once (hopefully not if) COVID ends? Surely lawyers have other things to argue about!

I got hit with a Covid layoff. How discriminating should I be about my next step? I've got about a decade of experience in big law, general commercial lit. I've wanted to go in house for a few years, but positions for pure litigators are few and far between. I'm applying for in-house and firm positions, and also a few firm administrative roles that I don't want to do. Should I just take anything I can get? I'm ok on savings, just worried about long term career impact.

Anyone able to give me a on the ground update on experienced hire recruiting? Was chatting with a few firms in feb but COVID blew it up. Wondering if I should start reaching out to folks again or chill out until fall. Moving from Canada for context

I got a terrifying mail from the government stating that I owed $2000 which they overpaid during covid. This week was my vacation and was already questioning how I overspent and to top it all off, this dreadful mail! How unlucky could a person be? Should they sent a little earlier, I would've been wise.

Which COVID test are you able to use for entry into the US via flight? Is a rapid test fine?

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Has anyone purchased their gown from a re-sell site? Nearly Newlywed, StillWhite, etc? Could you share your experience if so? I have two gowns I tried on in person (so I know they fit/look good) and slightly stalking to see if they show up on those sites :)
There also seems to be a ton of brand new gowns from Covid-cancelled weddings

I am bored out of my ever loving mind. No heavy incentive to look for work just yet due to COVID in my area + I’m not really sure what position to even look for since I don’t want to go back into PA. You can only scroll through social media and news so many hours of the day. I’ve cleaned. I’ve FT dated. I’ve read. And read. And read. I’ve done the self makeover/reflection thing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hope everyone in IFS is hanging in during this crazy COVID-19 time.

How early did you start seeing patients with COVID symptoms?

“What is the Company going to do if people quit because of vaccine mandate?”

Hi there,

I'm receiving a [retention] bonus, but given the amount received after tax I'm considering using this for personal dev and some qualifications. I don't have any certifications or anything of yet and so looking for advice on areas to investigate. Right now it's BA and Agile areas.

I'm a technical consultant working on Greenfield projects in legal tech but looking to move into a role focusing on business analysis, change management and tech operations

Thanks!

Its been 4 month I joined IBM, and after working for dev work recently they have assigned me to Production Support project. I heard from many people that in production support I will gain only application knowledge not improvising my technical skill set.
So I can get out of this project?
Will they release me from project if I ask for release?
What if after release I don't get project?
What is layoff news?
Will IBM fire?

Networking coffee chat with someone from another firm - who pays the bill? Do you each pay your own? Does the person who requested the chat pay? What’s the protocol here?

Creatives - what are the best examples of thought starters or Ways In you’ve ever seen on a brief? Trying to get better at this. Thanks

6 months in and I already get the sense that my direct superior disdains me. Damn that was fast.

I work at a start up and aside from using tools such as Jira, confluence, figma, and lucid chart I find myself still using PowerPoint a lot of the time. It’s probably the ex consultant in me but is that strange?

What pays better? Software development vs IT consulting.

I'm looking for Cybersecurity Compliance roles in FAANGS and industry leaders. Can you please share some curveballs you got at your interviews for similar roles?

Anyone know anything about winter classic tickets? Signed up for updates but haven’t gotten anything on a code and now looks like they’re on presale through Ticketmaster, wondering if there’s still a way to get the code or when they go live for regular sale 🤔

For IBM Generally how many day it took to generate offer letter after filling the background details & candidate forms online.

Is it okay to share your personal documents to hr in email? There were a few companies asking me to share education, Id, photo and pan card over email? Please share ur thoughts

Maybe some perspective might be of use to me. I’m transitioning out of the service and I’ve positioned myself decently to be competitive in the market. I’ve got two offers from great companies. Biotech and Healthcare, both on the Human Capital Team as an Employee Relations Consultant. I have a graduate degree pursuing a Doctorate, LSSBB, ScrumMaster, SPHR, and PMI-ACP certified. I know this is personal and dependent, but what should I be considering as a commensurate salary?

Is anyone joining Wipro on June 1. Is June 1 date is confirmed or is there any extended DOJ from June 1. Can someone please help me with the update..

Traditional Vs Roth 401k. Which is better and why?

Anyone know what Luks Santaniello Petrillo Cohen pays 4th years? Preferably in Miami

I’m a 2nd yr. in M&A (if relevant: I’m billing on average 176 hrs, lowest month was 144, highest was 281, not getting paid market about 20-30k below). I’m considering a lateral move to Latham. Would love insight on the M&A group and the NY office as a whole, specifically culture but any insight or advice is appreciated.

Anybody work with Wegman partners during their lateral process?

Need some feedback, I am lateraling into an associate role at a top 25 law firm after several years at government and corporate jobs & have concerns about the background check.

I haven’t made much money in the past few years and have accrued significant debt from credit cards & personal loans, some of which was to help out family during COVID. My credit utilization is at 90% & I’ve been making payments on time. Credit score is at 580 after being at 780 before law school. Will this ding me?

2017 grad so technically a 4th year. Lateraled to a CRE boutique in NYC that’s a major player. Learned quickly that my experience/knowledge/organization is not up to par (was a COG in the machine at prior firm). Just had EOY review and, though positive sounding, they’re dropping me to a 3rd year to ensure I’m not billing as a 4th year and able to do the work to learn/get up to par. I feel pretty okay about it (market salary deduction notwithstanding), but want to make sure I’m not being naive.

Have any associates actually discovered something during diligence that tanked the deal?

Thoughts on Winston & Strawn NY?

Any NYC big law firms that are NOT returning to office yet?

Hi all, wanted to start a New York-specific big late bowl. Figured this is better for us since the NY market is very different from other Big Law markets in the US.

Anyone have recommendations on best way to completely newly-admitted CLE requirements? Thanks in advance.

Anyone have recommendations for firms with good general corporate practices or that encourage associates to work across different corporate practice areas? I’m a second year M&A associate looking to broaden my skill set in my next role.

I am returning to a job that pays near market (yay!)—for class of 2018 folks, what is your take-home looking like? Thanks!

Whats's Latham's WFH policy?

Any insight into what NY Biglaw counsel positions pay? I imagine it varies but I think my firm may be majorly lowballing with basically just senior associate salary. Bonuses are likely just top of associate scale too so max $100k. I hear people leaving for much higher paid counsel spots elsewhere so curious.

For those who made the jump from biglaw to midlaw, how long did the recruiting process take? I just started interviewing last week and have a ton more interviews this week, and I’m already exhausted balancing that with a current busy workload. And how many firms did folks apply to/approx how many interviews did you do in total? Trying to get a sense of how long this process is for people.

Has anybody been successful asking for a raise while being paid in a lockstep comp system? Our pay scale is below market, so I want to ask for a bump. More importantly, who should I be asking? HR? Partners?
