I would love to hear how people were recognized as good juniors? Other than being available, taking initiative etc what did you do to truly make things work? How did things “click” for you? Just received some feedback that some partners in the group don’t think things are clicking for me and I’m at a loss. Maybe I need to ask more questions? I don’t think hours are the issue (I’m on track right now) but now I’m concerned about my job…

I have created Algorithmic Product/System for the client to take out inventory not-in-demand for long time to save storage expense and also provide an approach to prioritize Work Orders based on Market Demand.

I am a senior analyst with 5+ years of functional experience in health payer, 1.5 years of BA experience. Thinking about exit opportunities and deciding if it's worth pivoting into the pharmaceutical industry, startups, and or straight into a payer company. Thoughts if I should wait or exit?

When did you know you were ready for a senior leadership or an executive role?

Does anyone know how xoogler hiring works? I left a few years ago and am interested in some new roles.

Does your firm let you take 28-30 December off? Many of my team members won’t be working those days and I decided last minute that I’d like to travel somewhere between Christmas and the New Year.

First year trainee here. Having the standard wobbles but generally surviving.

My question is - how can I tell if I'm doing well? More specifically, what common and avoidable mistakes (specific or general) do trainees make, and what attitude or actions impress you?

Recently overheard some associates complaining about another trainee and now I have the fear... I want to get this right. Thanks in advance.

Real estate / real estate finance associates, is everyone still crazy busy or are you noticing a bit of a slow down? I’m at an Am Law 20 and was crazy this year through most of the summer, but have seen a pull back in workload / deal flow the past few weeks.

Does having a JD and an MBA make an impact on salary/hiring chances upon law school grad/summer associate positions?

How do you deal with unresponsive summers? I’m a junior and overseeing my first project with summers (5 in total). Two are unresponsive and do not acknowledge my emails.

Thoughts on Steptoe & Johnson? Particularly DC office. Considering applying. Thanks!

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting. I just hate the practice area so much that every time I am asked to do something I just get it done as quickly as possible and can’t be bothered to put in effort. I think I need to quit so I’m not fired for bad performance with a horrible reputation. Am I nuts and should I just wait til they let me go?

What’s the pro and cons of doing down stream PE (M&A, buyouts, gen Corp etc) vs upstream (fund raising, formation, operation), in terms of exit, nature of work and upwards prospect? Debating which practice group I should join so would really appreciate some insights on both ends

How do you deal with a Midlevel who tells the partner you’ll cover for them, but gives you less than 24 hours notice they’ll be gone without asking if you can cover?

Give me the strength to set a boundary today and do something fun instead of waiting by my computer for emails
