My Hinge profile references wanting to be a DINK (I figure IYKYK) but also clearly states "does not want children" ...

And yet I get so many responses from dudes who ask "what's a DINK" with profiles that clearly state "want children"

Hi All,
I wish to join one of the top consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, B&C etc. I am currently working as a Business Analyst with a work ex of 3 years.
I have started exploring on my own and one thing that came out different were Case Studies interviews and I have started reading and preparing for them.
I will do MBA also post working in one of these firms.
I was hoping if anyone can help me to prepare better or suggest a plan to land a job for a role that aligns with my ambitions.
Thank You

I have three years of experience as a supply chain controller and a buyer with a master's degree in Purchasing. But I would like to change my career to an analyst role in Purchasing Eg: Pricing analyst or sourcing analyst.

If I want to switch to an analyst, I need three months to learn all the essential software(already been unemployed for more than 4 months).

Do I wait and learn skills to get in to the analyst role or should I continue my career as a buyer? Please drop your suggestion🙏

Best big and mid size firms in Atlanta for real estate? When considering billable hours, comp, culture, etc. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone that generally likes their firm or has any recommendations on firms to stay away from.

My coop board in NYC is charging me $650 to repair the intercom system in my unit. They didn't tell me the charges beforehand. From what I remember of property law 11 years ago, I thought I wasn't responsible for anything within the walls? Does anyone know anything about this or have recs for a great LL/Tenant lawyer in NYC?

Tax lawyer considering expanding practice from transactional tax to tax controversy. Thoughts, Especially in light of the economy? Would this increase my marketability down the line?

Considering getting my nose pierced. It would be a really tiny gold stud, nothing bulky or sparkly. What are the chances this will impact my career…I’m 30, female, and a personal injury lawyer. Been wanting to do this for awhile, thought it would make me look unprofessional. But now I’m thinking life is short and no one would really care. Thoughts?

Curious about demand for US-trained lawyers in the UK. Anyone have any insight on making the move? What practice areas/seniority levels are in demand, best ways to go about finding openings, etc?

Laptop sleeves - useful or waste of money?

Have you seen an increase in billing rates as a result of inflation? Would love to know your 2022 rate % increases.

Is it normal to feel guilty when there’s a lull? How do you guys recommend filling the time?

I have been reading posts from newer associates about bad things partners have done or said to them and I think it could be fun for some of us more senior lawyers in the bowl to tell stories of mean things partners did or said to us when we were new associates. Hopefully it stays mostly light and not horrible things.

Bryan Cave comp?

If you could do a regular job outside of the law what would you do?

How does life of a “specialist” compare to that of those in a set practice group?

I have practiced law for several years and still struggle with the feast-or-famine nature of my practice. (Sudden rush of client outreach, many emergencies, then … nothing). A famine week might be 3-4 billable hours/day. My practice area does not have a predictable annual cycle, like “year end” or “tax day.” Any tips from other attorneys for how to recognize, predict, and/or even out these periods?

What exactly does insurance subrogation include? From my understanding it’s representing an insurance company to recover from a third-party to recover an amount paid to the insured?

Would you rather have an assistant who was very friendly but incompetent or incredibly rude but competent? I’m leaning towards the latter but currently dealing with the former.

Today the firm countered my offer to go elsewhere and offered an additional 62k for me to stay. I said no - my thought process being that they could have upped my comp at any time and I’m just really ready to try something new. Am I crazy?

Does your firm offer free Ubers when working late at the office?

Is it normal to be threatened to be fired after making mistakes that you had no idea were mistakes in the first place?
I’m a junior litigation associate at a small firm, and the managing partner says things like “you aren’t providing value to the firm” or “you’re being paid to avoid mistakes like these” when I make mistakes due to, what I believe, to be a lack of guidance and instruction. As in, they could be easily avoided with a “please keep in mind X” or something like that. Thoughts?
