If you’re a fourth year in biglaw, what responsibilities are you given in m&a? I feel like I still haven’t had a ton of opportunities working on purchase agreements (and mostly just take the lead on ancillary work streams) and I’m afraid I’m falling behind others in my class year.

Hi,
PPL working in Walmart Bangalore.Have you guys already relocated to Bangalore or travelling from your hometown based on the requirements ?

MBB AP about to exit to non-FAANG tech. Would you expect a signing bonus and/or pre-determined severance pay if things don't work out with the new company? Anything else that people have negotiated during their exit? I'd be leaving a large amount of bonus on the table to leave before the end of the year.

Now I'm in a client location, My manager is a good person but he told me, I should report to Lead.

Lead is a psycho. He shows hell to the team members including me.
What should I do ?

Does Trinity have an offshore team? Or all work is done by onshore folks only?
I also wanted to understand if trinity does any advanced analytics projects with their clients.

Which language is the best to learn for the future for the backend ? Java or Python ?

I am a NodeJS Engineer. I want to know which language to learn for the next 10-20 years.

I should be able to use the language multidimensionally. Like web development, ai/ml, offers jobs in MAANGM companies .

Has anyone taken mental growth leave from NY BL who is willing to please share about their experience? I would truly appreciate it.

27F, 2nd year associate (no ambitions of being partner) - I’m depressed, anxious, stressed and just need a break. I’m at the point where I’m willing to quit with no other options, but want to see if theirs any safer way of taking a breath of life and grinding a little longer (I have loans, I financially support my parents, etc. ).

Have opportunity to work in my firm’s London satellite office for about a year and a half, and then come back to NY headquarters. In good standing with firm and have M&A and capital markets experience. Did not start traveling abroad until my bar trip (did not grow up with the money for trips like that) and think it would be a good personal and professional experience. Any thoughts / advice?

Any POC M&A midlevels here actually feel you are treated fairly? What firm? Have been at 2 firms and have lost hope any M&A groups exist that grant us the same grace and opportunities as others :/

I know this question is somewhat vague and broad but I’ll soon be joining a Banking & Finance team (in BigLaw) as a junior associate. I’d be grateful for any tips on how to thrive in this role. What characteristics make a good junior transactional lawyer?

Anybody have any insights into working at Withers Bergman?

Curious how compensation works for counsel at top-tier law firms. How much do counsel make? Is it relatively set/lockstep salary, or does it vary significantly based on hours? Do counsel have hours requirements?

If you are leaving your firm and putting in your two weeks notice, what should be on your checklist to make sure your transition is the smoothest, both for you and for the firm you’re leaving?

Any ERISA attorneys interested in switching firms? I am in recruiting and have a client looking to add 2 associates?

Going to a new firm and bringing a client or two with deadlines before I leave — can I do the work now but bill the time later at my new firm as long as I don’t double bill at my current firm?

Similar to the parking attendant question - how much are you tipping the doormen in your apartment buildings?

How many hours will you bill this year? If you have ever been spoken to about needing to bring up your hours, how low were they?

I’m a first year associate in an area of practice I really like. People at my firm are nice, but I’m not challenged. I’m thinking of finding new opportunities since my salary is below market, firm policies are unclear and I’m not challenged. Any advice on finding new positions while I’m so junior?

2012 Sr Associate. Left my firm in February after being recruited by a partner I used to work for, and it turns out I’m not very happy. Difficult people, terrible schedule and ruined vacations so far. A partner at my old firm in another group has asked if I would come back to work for just him. I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?

Does GDC have a reputation as a good place to work in BL?

When that bonus check hits 🥰

Does an update to a Built In NYC job listing mean (as in, same listing but it’s more recent/bumped to the top) I’ve been dinged after a few rounds of interviews?

Does anyone have intel on signing bonus amounts (apart from Covid and year-end) for mid-level litigation associates? The move would be to a V10 firm. Thanks!

Can two different recruiters submit you to the same place if they’re submitting 4-5 months apart? I’m not using both concurrently. Recruiter 1 submitted me to places in the beginning of the year and only one interview came out of it. Recruiter 2 wants to submit me to some places now. I’m wondering if there’s going to be any conflict/look bad etc if there’s an overlap.

I’m hoping someone might have some ideas about this- I’m currently five years out of law school with a clerkship, a tax LLM, 3 years of experience doing transactional tax work and a few months of EC/VC experience (which I recently switched to from tax). I like the EC/VC work, but I don’t know how long I want to stay in biglaw. Can anyone weigh in on how employers for in-house roles might look at my experience in a year or two?

Any insight on Proskauer’s NYC L&E practice group? Good place for associates?
