If you’re seeing a lot of job postings for legal positions at Phillips 66, proceed cautiously. We have more and more openings by the day. People are leaving even for lesser opportunities. The General Counsel is a person no one trusts, believes or thinks even cares about anything other than herself. The atmosphere is toxic and every person in that organization will say the same things. Unless and until there is a change at the top, no offer is worth working in this organization. Looking to leave.

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.

Does anyone know how much aws advisory consultants have to travel or get paid? A general range is fine. Or what the work load and environment look like?

What does the group focus on in terms of work, what are hours like, decent exit Ops, interview process etc?

Hello everyone ,

I completed my interview loop at Google on August 12, 2022. My recruiter informed me on August 29th that due to a couple of realignments within the org, the hiring manager has not shared any feedback. I was informed on September 8th that the hiring committee is scheduled the next day (September 9th) and that I can expect a final feedback latest by September 12th. I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?

Anyone have any recommendations/advice on how to eventually get to deals?

Hi Guys,

One quick question-

If one chooses to quit the organization within 7 day. Do we still have to serve notice period.

Also if anyone could refer me in their company, that would be great.

Okay so I was supposed to chat with a recruiter about sharing my reference contacts for a reference check. He's been MIA for three days citing that he's been under the weather.

Should I be worried? Is this a strategy commonly used to stall or is he actually just sick?

I’m worried that my voice, communication style, and body language comes across as too effeminate for our straight clients and peers. I’m transitioning to sales now and am insecure that my personality and appearance may hinder sales gen? Client industry is very old school. Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?

To those who divorced or called off the engagement, did you take the ring back? And if so, what did you do with it?

Anyone here ever left a big law job without something else lined up and, if so, can you share a little bit about what your experience in the job market was like?

Is it common to negotiate software engineer salary at smaller companies? I know it’s common at FAANG, but what about for companies with around 200 engineers? I have a counter offer from my current company and on-site interviews scheduled for end of July with google and Amazon, but I’d prefer to go with the smaller local company if I can negotiate the salary (from offer letter) up another 5% or so.

Do you say “remuneration” in place of Compensation or in place of Total Rewards? For some reason I thought it was more related to TR and both Comp and Remuneration were used globally.

Welcome to the bowl for synechron. We will discuss in and out of everything happening throughout the organisation. Feel free to ask any questions/doubts.

Came home after a few months away to realize I've been holding onto a shithole apartment. Looking for a broker recommendation because streeteasy is not a great resource if everyone is on it.

I’ve been applying to jobs and I feel like my resume needs to be revamped. I’m 4 years post law school and I think I can cut down some of the education specific details etc and focus on the job experience more. Does anyone know of any websites that have good resume layout examples etc for lawyers?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

How honest can you be with a recruiter? If you are looking for a job that will help tee you up for an in-house position, is it okay to say that? I'm meeting with a recruiter for the first time later today and I'm unsure about the whole process...

As a junior, how do you deal with the anxiety that the advice you provide to a partner based on your research (that is being sent to client without much supervision) could be wrong or incomplete?

Junior associate here (2L). Got some ‘constructive feedback’ from a 4L. We went over budget on a matter, and 4L thinks it has something to do with my inefficient delegation to 0Ls (and not the all the out of scope work the client asked us to do but doesn’t want to pay for...). Delegated tasks included basic grunt work like splitting out documents, preparing execution versions and other low-level tasks. 4L asked me to check with them before I delegate anything in the future. Thoughts?

If my goal is to last a few years in big law and go in house at a large tech company, what should be my focus (firm reputation in the tech industry, practice group, years of experience)? Also, what are the exit opportunities like for capital markets?

has anybody given short notice when leaving a job? one week instead of two? how did you approach it? i don’t know why i feel so nervous.

I went on mutiple round interviews with a firm. HR basically said they wanted a firm commitment after the 3rd round. I told them I was extremely interested and looking forward to seeing what the offer was but I couldn't speak in absolutes.

Then ghosted.

Been at my firm 6 months. Feel I've been catfished in the sense I was told I would be working on securities actions and I've been getting civil rights actions. Too early to jump ship ?

I just told myself for the fifth time this year that I will never again allow myself to put off entering hours until the day before pre bill. Yet here I am not putting my hours in today because I'm so tired from putting 30 days worth in last night

How to switch practice areas? I’ve been in immigration for 3 years now and need a change. How do you convince employers you’re a good fit for a role you don’t have any experience with?

Hi, Fishes! What areas of law would you say are likely to land you a position in BL from a small firm?

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

I am having one of those days where I regret everything. I have been to 3 different law offices and I hated all of them. I’m wondering what my future is going to look like. Where do I go from here??
