If you worked as the only associate in a small firm and were asked about your workload and whether you thought taking on another associate was necessary, would you feel flattered or threatened? Is this a sign the partners think I’m drowning? I’m not, but I often don’t rush to do all of my work so I know I always have things to keep me busy. But now I’m worried...

I’m a newly-barred first year. One of the partners I work for got me a nice bottle of wine. Am I expected to get the partners I work with and my assistant a gift?

Do any of you have experience with pushy coworkers? The kind who won't let you do anything without them "helping" even after you say "I've got this"? I can handle stocking the shelves by myself. So frustrating

Anyone ever struggle with being "likable" at work? I've never had this problem before, but I don't seem to vibe with my team.

Final round with a MM PE Firm tomorrow vía zoom. Is suit expected given its zoom? Shirt with tie and jacket on the chair? Trimmed beard acceptable? I know I’m overthinking it but appreciate any feedback 😀

I’m a manager and one of my direct reports makes more than me. It really bothers me. Anyone else been in this situation before? What’s the best way to handle it?

I know I’m going to get shit for this but what do you wear over your suit when it’s too warm for a winter peacoat but too cold for just the suit?

I added a well recognized litigator in my area at a top firm on LinkedIn... reason being is that I’m a first year in litigation and hope to accomplish at least half the things he has in my career. So it’s interesting to see his takes on things when he engages on a post.

I’m tempted to send him a personal message, not for a job or anything, but honestly just to ask “how he did it” and what advice he might give.

Is there any harm in this? Don’t wanna be annoying.

I've never worked with account people who literally let nobody else on the account talk to a client unless they are present. Ridiculous.

Elderly account woman who wears flip-flops to work, I want to throw my shoe at you.

Want a new laptop bag for work, any recommendations?

Any tips on entertaining a client while sober? I’ve got some time and don’t think I’ll pick up but this is my first time being with a client 1:1

aita for wanting respect in my workplace as a woman? i get it im a girl working in a shop with men… they are going to be disrespectful and rude cause that’s how they are. but am i a “bitch” for wanting respect from my peers when all I do is hold them to high respects and try to do all in my power to help them? even when I can’t?

Advice, please! A former coworker in a different industry wants to talk about opportunities in my organization. We haven't talked in several years, but were friendly when we worked together.

The thing is, based on the quality of his work, I really can't recommend him. What would be a diplomatic way to convey this?

Also, If you think there's a better bowl for this query, please let me know. TIA!

How do you get ahead of it when you think your previous employer may not be giving you a great reference?

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Random question, my boss wants me to become a notary so I can handle notarizing all of the official documents myself. Has anyone else been asked to do this for their employer? Is it ethical?

Is it silly to want to feel valued by my Partner/Practice Leader?

He rewards me well rating/comp-wise, gives me a lot of latitude etc but OTOH I constantly get blown off for check-ins, multiple emails ignored, excluded from some conversations that might be relevant for me, etc.

Maybe it’s just normal Partner behavior and I should grow a thicker skin, but generally feel emotionally disconnected from him and that my portfolio of work is not integral, or is an afterthought, to the practice.

How do you handle micro managers? I’m a second year transactional associate and for the most part the partners and senior associates I work for trust me to get the work done. But this one guy is constantly checking up on me, asking for status of deliverables long before the deadlines he gave me, and just generally pestering me on everything I do. I am going to go insane if don’t figure out a way to stop this.

What would you do if you started developing feelings for a colleague? I recently (earlier in the year) went through a breakup of a long term relationship but shockingly got over him pretty quickly once I moved back home and on my own. I started developing feelings for a colleague about a week or so ago mainly because he ticks off a few of my boxes and is just SO easy to chat to and get along with. Is it too inappropriate to try to get to know him more? We’re also friends on social media

I am trying to get an ADHD diagnosis, as my primary care and myself both think I could have it (runs in the fam). How many of y’all got diagnosed by a psychiatrist? Or did you have to do the extensive 4ish hour testing?

My psychiatrist said most psychiatrists won’t diagnose + give meds for adhd but the testing can get so expensive so I want to know if I should see someone else

I’m so depressed

Does anyone know for Deloitte’s life sciences compliance and op risk group if there’s a case for SC or M level?

Obviously consulting is a very big field for a reason. Curious how consultants consult on things they don’t have expertise on? A lot of companies have a lot of PhD level of subject level experts, what do consulting firms provide that the corporations don’t provide internally? I remember I was surprised talking to a friend who worked for pwc consulting consulting on a chemical project of a company, since he def is not a chemist by any means.

Drowning. Joined firm last summer, brought a decent little book, primarily litigation associate. I’ve been buried in numerous matters from my transferring clients and matters at my new, small-ish firm. I get consistently favorable results, im in the office all week, manage all my cases independently. After 6 months, just told billables are too low, turnaround time is too high, and theyre concerned about my fit. I feel like I’ve just been launched into a bunch of matters with little/no guidance.

Anyone know if being a doc review attorney or something like a Westlaw reference attorney would provide flexibility to pursue other legal interests? I’m thinking about trying to publish an article or two, and unsure if I can balance being an associate with the time it will take to research and write publishable papers

Would anyone happen to have any insight on base comp ranges for internal Lateral Attorney Recruiting Managers? Particularly for firms between 250-500 attorneys? I love my current firm, and have 5 years of experience within lateral associate, counsel and partner recruiting; but, considering how much money I save the firm with each non-search-firm attorney placement, I feel like there is higher compensation opportunity elsewhere. Thank you!

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?

I’ve started working at this law firm back in March of this year. I wasn’t too familiar with the law field and was in school to become a paralegal. I accepted this position of being an administrative assistant at their firm and started to learn a lot of things that my major would cover. I work with 3 other people including two attorneys and one paralegal. Fast forward a few months now, I’ve started to realize that this firm may not be a good fit for me. But I’m finding it hard to leave, tips?
