Anyone buy real estate/condo in Fort Lauderdale? Looking to Airbnb and vacation there as well.

There’s been some turnover over the last six months at my firm, and I have taken over more files. I’m having a hard time getting ahead of briefing schedules and have been asking for extensions on a lot of recent briefs. In my practice area it’s never really an issue or objected to. However, I feel guilty that this is still happening. Any tips for getting over this?

Would love to hear thoughts on this one. Asking your firm to make sure the hotels at retreats stock quality 0.0 beer or other sober-curious-friendly options. Super progressive or super needy?

Welcome to the bowl! Discuss everything Indian on this bowl but pls respect everyone even if you don’t agree with their thoughts and opinions!

Congratulations to Biden-Harris!!

6 in. LED recess lights or 4 in. ?? Feel like 6in looks commercial. This is for a living room

How can I get my hands on the "off-white" Virgil Abloh line of sneakers for a decent price ?

Going back to work next month. Have a full time nanny but feel like even that isnt enough. I work all sorts of timezones. Europe has my morning, Asia has my evening. Nanny 9-5? 7-3? 10-6? No clue what will work best and don’t want to be inconsistent with her. Any advice on the return?

Thought we could use our own bowl...many of the FCB bowl posts refer to Chicago so thought we might like our own to chat all things FCBHealth, pharma, 7/6/5 floors, etc.

What does venture counsel mean at WSGR? I just lateraled and am working with one - he seems to be doing all the junior work for the team so am confused?

Mostly just here to that it’s tough dealing with time differences for int’l clients... any tips on being appropriately responsive in the evening? I’m ET and the clients are all over Asia and Europe

Incoming transactional attorney. Will be licensed (hopefully—July bar taker) in a non-UBE state. My firm has offices in almost every major city.

Do I need to wait 5 years before being able to waive into states to become licensed there, in case I want to leave my current state? How does that work?

Anyone here use any recruiters at Springboard? How was the experience?

Anyone familiar with legal recruiting careers, specifically at Parker and Lynch? Thinking about making the switch. Any insight or advice is appreciated!

How would you define great communication?

How long did your longest matter last? I imagine litigators take the cake here but curious about deals as well.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Omg.. everyone is leaving. I'm a junior and there's no mid levels and seniors. Its just me and the partner and I have no idea whats going on or what to do. Firm says its trying but ahhhh!!!!!

Anyone with bad experiences with ex-biglaw inhouse counsel?

I get the impression that many are biglaw haters. With some, any attempt at being service minded and asking "have you thought about X, we can help" makes them whine about scope and costs.

One GC I worked with even had on their resume (OP wanted resumes of key employees) as one of their skills "maximizing value of internal and external legal advice while minimizing cost"

I’m a third year in corporate and want to switch to tax. Am I too late? How do I ask my firm?

Should I take more initiative? It’s my stub year and I’m getting worried. My hours have been super low the past two months, I’m talking like maybe billing 3-4 hours a day and billing no hours on multiple days. I ask for work but the tasks I get don’t require a lot of time. Should I be reaching out more?

Does anyone think Biden will *not* further extend the pause on student loan payments until after the election?

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.

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?

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

I have a clerkship with a bankruptcy judge in a major jurisdiction beginning in September. If I stopped working in April, is that too early or can I stop whenever? I’m not in RX now, but I want to join a major RX group after my clerkship. I’ve been working at the same firm out of law school, so almost 2 years.
