I was offered a job at another firm for $100k more per year with new opportunities and the promise of being made a partner in a year.

My current boss helped me with a bar discipline issue and is very upset that I am leaving. They are guilting me into staying. I do owe them but feel like this new opportunity is too good to pass up. My current firm says if I want more money I need to work harder. Should I beg to keep my current job or test out the new opportunity?

If I had a dime for every time I said something, only to receive blank stares, then had a male coworker “magically” repeat it soon after and have everyone be onboard. Like, am I a 👻?? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi All,
I'm looking for a permanent work from home job, can anyone suggest a few names where I can try. I'm a senior consultant in Risk Advisory service line performing sox and IA

Joined a new firm at the start of this year but it’s not a good fit and I want to leave for a different role type. Will it look bad to potential employers if I leave this company after 6 months? I was with my prior employer for 2.5 years before this.

Rumor: CSR annual fee is increasing to $550. Added perks: DoorDash and Lyft credit.

Parental leave: do you have to be at a company or firm for a year before being eligible to take parental leave? Are there any companies/firms that don't have this requirement?

110% Return on investment ( 1 year) and still projected to keep growing...

Laughable that banks and traditional 401k give you less than 5

Does anyone have a good lead on where to find research backed customer journeys? Either generic for an industry (like restaurant) or for major players in an industry (like chili's). I am fairly new to planning, and this keeps coming up as something and that would be helpful.
Thank you!

Question on option price in relation to theta, does the theta component recalculate each day, or it changes even every minute? Say if u buy and sell within a day, expect to lose some theta value?

I can’t get over how meaningless my life is. I feel stuck in a dark tunnel with no light at the end. I don’t know what I’m doing in life. It’s overwhelming and makes me cry over every little thing. Is it too much to ask for me to just be happy in life? I’m 26 but I feel like this is all life has to offer.

Hello

Is there anyone who is to join Morgan Stanley for technology analyst this year and will be a part of 3-4 months training?

Also, is this training virtual or physical? If physical, then Mumbai/Bangalore?

Name the reaction you get when you tell dates you’re a lawyer:

Has anyone transitioned from litigation to corporate counsel/contracts type work? If so, how’d you like the change?

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

What do partners generally expect from third-year litigation associates (smaller firm) as far as legal, professional, and/or case management skills go?
I still feel like I can’t (or don’t know how to) manage or push cases forward and like I’m constantly behind on everything—is this normal?

Mid-senior level transactional folks: how do you originate deals? The only deals I originate come from when one of my corporate clients randomly decides to sell a business. There has to be another way to land more deals, right?

How often do temporary "might-become-permanent" type jobs (at small/mid size firms) actually become permanent?

Any hospital in-house attorneys willing to share their title, location and compensation?

Family law litigator looking to transition to in-house? Any tips?

I have an interview at a firm that focuses on criminal defense. I currently work in ID and have years of previous PD experience. I’ve never worked in private criminal defense. What questions should I ask in the interview? What should be looking at to evaluate whether it is a good practice?

If you use the pomodoro method for time focus and tracking, do you bill in those increments or just keep your billablr timer going the whole time? For example, I work in 25 minute increments for large projects then I get a break. Do I bill .5 for that increment and restart my billing or keep my billing continuously going thereby not rounding up for those 5 min? I have just kept my timer going.

I was hired by client to draft a form MSA and SOW (the client is a freelance HR coach). She showed her form to another freelance HR coach and now they want to use the form I made for my client and my clients asking if that’s ok? Any advice?

Any advice on how to deal with a partner/boss who is shifting all responsibility to me with zero guidance, no mentoring, and an unwillingness to discuss the issues? (Small firm, only associate under this partner and have been working at the firm for 2 years). There are an increasing number of passive aggressive comments from the partner who expects to be completely hands off once the case lands on my desk. Wants me to figure it all out despite cases being from different areas of law.

I know some of my colleagues are recording their standard fees as time so that it counts towards their billable hours. It infuriates me but am I just being naive by not doing the same?

Have a call on Friday with the CEO of an environmental entrepreneurship non-profit. It could lead to a professional opportunity and maybe even billable work I can refer to my firm down the line. I’m going in with an open mind but little concrete information on his entity and goals and ways I could get involved. What questions would you ask such a person?

Anyone suiting up for the office?

I’m in Chicago, and I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot more suits in the loop.

Does anyone practice White Collar criminal defense in NYC or know a decent amount about it? Is it fun or fulfilling? Is it a good way to break into government work in the future?

How long is acceptable to ask to decide on an offer, especially when another place you really want to work at is moving a bit slower? I know this question has been asked before but I feel like 2022 has been its own beast in the legal market and would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

Anyone have any thoughts or insight into Keker or DurieTangri?

What is the expectation at your firms about coming into work after making your billable hours requirement? Asking especially for those who do not get a bonus per extra hour billed over the minimum.

Probably a foolish question: are bonuses based off of raw billable hours or billable hours modified by the partners?
