I’m a 1L interested in a specific V10’s NY office but I heard the summer program last year was incredibly fratty. I also heard about an older associate getting into a messy dating situation with a summer and associates hitting on summers generally. Is this kind of thing common, or does it vary by firm? Wondering if I should expect this at every firm and therefore disregard it as or take it as an indicator of what my summer and first year class culture will be like?

Hey all - anyone currently utilizing an “adoption platform” for training end users while in a system implementation?

I would appreciate some advice on my situation below.
About three months ago, I was applying to find a new job. A month later, I got an offer, came work for this firm. I am not feeling like this would be a great environment for me. So I accepted a job interview this week but when I sent them the resume was 3 months ago so i didnt have my current job on there. Should I tell them my job has changed since? I am worried that if i dont tell them, they will find out when doing background check.

I’m working at an insurance defense firm, trying to target my practice to L&E. I’m overworked and underpaid, but gaining valuable experience I hope to pivot toward an eventual in-house counsel position. I recently was offered an opportunity to lateral to a national firm for a significant pay increase (150% salary increase, much better benefits, hybrid WFH options). Problem-I would be shifting gears to Toxic Tort. I’m torn between my passion and the money. I’m a second year associate. WWYD?

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?

one thing I do not do is pick up the phone before 9:30…after 7 years, you would think they’d learn.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
