I would like to pull a Skadden Girl Move while being, like, politically efficacious and not sounding annoying as hell to everyone who doesn’t already agree with me.

What is an IBM principal title equivalent to at a big4?

What would you all say are the best consulting firms to work at in the federal government space? I’m not sure how many “prestigious” firms (like MBB) have a significant federal practice at all.

Can some of you experienced folk recommend some good books for rookies? What are your favorites for investment strategies, marketing, selling, etc.?

This winter just doesn’t freaking end. This is absolutely ridiculous. 🙄

Working in Risk Management, looking into the FRM exams. Does anyone have any insight or advice?

I hate open floor plans!!! Give me back my office!!! It’s truly inefficient. I spend half the day trying to tune out the chaos around me and the other half trying to book a conference room!!

Strategies for getting a job at Wieden + Kennedy:

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.

Anyone here who made the exit from Big 4/MBB consulting to a VC? If so, I’d love to hear about how the experience is so far. (Not to mention the WLB and comp!) I’m considering a career change but have no one in my network I can go to for insights. Thx! 🙏🏾

Citibank or BNP Paribas which pays well and is better in terms of work culture?

How to overcome a breakup. I'm heartbroken 😭

Hi Fishes

Does EY GDS give 10% Variable and EY India give 20% variable?

Anyone free tonight for drinks ? 36m here

Thoughts on K&L Gates corporate department?

With the various RTO rumors/fear out there and in the absence of spring/summer/fall(?) bonuses. Would you consider coming into the office more if your firm offered bonuses linked to days in the office (coupled with billable targets, of course)?

Curious — do people consider billing 200ish hours a month a lot still or is that almost standard now?

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

Leaving after one year to another biglaw firm?

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

What does a contract attorney position entail? I have been offered a position but want to understand what the real responsibilities are as opposed to what the firm/partners market it to be? Anyone here have experience working as a contract attorney?

Anyone else absolutely *loathe* being assigned new client matters at the end of the month when you know your billable time won’t count bc conflicts haven’t cleared yet? Just me?

1st year business law (solicitor) wanting to transition to comm lit. Tips?

How are hours at Simpson Thacher LA?

Housecleaning services?
I’m in midtown west and need a new housecleaner. Looking to pay $100/cleaning. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who is trustworthy and reliable? I would also need them to do laundry (laundry is one floor above and below me - every other floor in my building).

I cried at my desk for the first time today. Year 3. I’m tired.

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.

Someone tell me why a partner just took me to lunch as a "Thanksgiving treat" and he took me to Taco Bell

What’s big law like in San Francisco? Anyone have any insights to firm cultures or billable targets?

Best to Worst in terms of work-life balance: Tech Trans, M&A or Capital Markets? (California if that makes a difference)

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

Recent laterals - have you been integrating well into your new teams? I lateraled into a V20 corporate group a month ago but still feel like I’m just existing at this point. I haven’t been that busy and haven’t formed any relationships with the partners or associates yet. Is this just what the ramp up period is like while remote? Would love to hear your experiences.

Any BigLaw tax groups not slammed/understaffed nowadays? We're in middle of our second big wave of departures since January without a single replacement yet, and it's looking like time to escape (unless every tax group is experiencing this).
