If anyone is at an Am Law 100 firm with market bonuses in Chicago, I’d love to chat about a lateral move!

Does a data analysis/ dashboards specialization offer better professional prospects than the alternatives for public sector consultants? I studied it in college but haven't done much of it lately and I'm worried I'm limiting myself.

Is it even possible to get HSW with a low GPA (3.3-3.5 range) if you’re an ORM guy? Even if you went to top 20 undergrad, top GMAT (780-800), good work experience (top consulting firms+FAANG)?

Is there any reason on not getting joining bonus? How can I ask for JB and how much can we get for 6 yoe?

Currently making $250K all-in as a Finance Director but only got 3% increase this past review. My pay was down 5% due to COVID last year, so from 2020 to 2022 my pay is flat. Should I start looking to move? I don't have any complaints with the work I have and $250K jobs don't grow on trees, but it's hard to swallow essentially no pay increases over 2 years in a high interest rate environment

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

Best skills to have if you want to specialize in product marketing? Finding it hard to get actual hands-on project experience so wondering if any skills/cert training could make up for it

What is the best way to get deeper into tech sales? And make more money! Currently Director for a SaaS tech company, do I need to stick it out for a year or two, to appear valuable to another org or should I start applying?

What sources or type of information have you used when discussing/asking for a raise at your work? I often see people say that you should be prepared with market research to make your case, but where do you get this from? Have you used Glassdoor, fishbowl or LinkedIn as a “valid” source for these conversations? Other sources? How have you made your case? “Here is the avg pay for this role according to Glassdoor” just curious what has worked for you.

How hard is it to move back into strategy consulting after moving into industry? Specifically start up / early ipo companies rather than established FTSE 100

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting. I have used my connections to refer me into probably 10 big law firms and it’s not working. One most recently came back and said they aren’t interested bc I have no law firm experience. How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!

For some context I went through my
final round with a potential employer a
little over a week ago. If the recruiter
said they'd provide me with an update
by Monday (today) and they did not
provide it yet, when should I reach out
and follow up?

I've been in an interview process with a certain company and for the 2nd time they have had to reschedule my interview but today was not ok since they waited until last minute to say they had 'connections issues', i feel a little disrespected for my time, would you guys continue to interview if this happens to you?

Yoe : 4 years

Considering a move in finance from a mid-tier uk to L+W. Does anyone have insight on the uk practice wlb? Also I’m aware of their stealth layoffs during previous downturns. Would you consider it high risk to move now and be exposed to an easy sacking during the 6 months probation?

If I foresee a move to a new city in a few years, is it better to be proactive and lateral to a firm in my current city that has an office in the city I plan on moving to? I wonder if it makes sense to take advantage of the hot lateral market now, and then just switch offices instead of firms when the time comes. Thoughts?

I read somewhere that everybody takes at least one vacation in a year. I didn’t take vacation for years… I did take a day or two off some weeks…Please tell me I’m not alone…

Anyone know anything about what it’s like to work plaintiff-side? Would it be dumb for someone with stellar credentials to leave biglaw for plaintiffs’ side work?

Nobody has really ever explained much about this side of private practice to me. From what I can tell based on my experience:
(1) their cases are usually really weak (maybe my biglaw defense-side bias)
(2) their lawyers tend not to be as highly credentialed
(3) would offer better experiences for junior litigators

December feels like a country song. Two dogs died on the 1st. A hard rain exposed latent roof damage and collapsed ceiling in two rooms. Stove, fridge and water heater all went out on the same day last week. Yesterday my spouse said they needed a break from the chaos through the holidays and left. Today a positive covid test. And 7 deals trying to close before year end requiring my full attention so none of the aforementioned can get any attention.

Associates, don’t let this become you.

To those who have lateraled in the last year, did it make things better, worse, or neutral, and why/how?

I started in big law M&A 8 months ago and I’m super miserable. I don’t love the work or the stress/anxiety that comes with deal work. I also feel like I’m not picking up on it as fast as my peers/able to juggle as many deals at once as the firm would like. I’m thinking about making a switch to in house work, preferably commercial contact work. Seems like the hours and stress would be more manageable in that type of role. Any advice or insight?

If a firm thinks you’re the right candidate to make an offer to, do they usually continue interviewing anyway? Confused because I had a great interview and think I’m a great fit but the firm is continuing to interview and will make decisions in the next couple weeks. Is that not a good sign?

Is that normal for the partners in the group to regularly forward in-house opportunities to associates?

With the lateral market booming, what are the odds of a second year lit associate being able to lateral into a corporate practice somewhere? The only thing I like about lit is discovery and reviewing documents and transactional work seems more my speed.

Why is the tech we have for biglaw so ass backwards. I hate relativity. I hate MS word. I’ve waisted so many hours of my life formatting a doc. and trying to figure out whether a document was produced or not, the bates stamping, and other inane projects.
