I’m a junior at a V20 looking to retool (firm screwed me over when it came to practice group). Should I use a recruiter or get referrals? I’m lucky enough that I have a strong network and can get referred at several shops, but I’ve never done this before and don’t want to screw this up.

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.

My Starting Date is about a week away and my background check is still in review with Accurate. It's been with Accurate for around 5 days. Has anyone faced the same situation?

Holidays are coming.

Any one have unique customs/traditions to share? Looking to establish our own ways of celebrating.

How long of a commute would you consider to be too long? First year associate trying to balance convenience with living more frugally to save up some more money.

I'm new to all this. Is it best to save 10% of my salary all in my company's 401k (with 20% match, increasing by 5% every year)... or saving 5% in 401k and 5% in a Roth IRA?

Hi folks- wanted to know how’s Walmart account in Coforge., I recently got an offer and said would be given Chennai Walmart. Please advise, any feedback would help- thank you

Decided that I’m leaving audit today. Trying to understand the full range of opportunities in forensics. Will have my CPA and CFE. So far, I understand that there are client-serving firms like FTI and then the B4 will have forensics arms as well. What are some other forensic accounting roles? Pros and cons? Better than audit? Honestly just looking to learn anything.

How long it'll take to get promoted from P3 to P4 for a leteral entry in LTI?
How much hike is expected for the same?

Did anyone get a jumbo loan with less than 20% down?

I’m about to be representing more borrowers in loan docs. It seems much different than representing the lender where “it is what it is” and bank weighs in if we are going off form. What are the top things to look out for?

Any tips for PM Non-tech L6 middle mile? Should I prepare SQL and python also?

Anyone else get ghosted by more than one recruiter at the same agency? Thought I would have better luck when the first recruiter who was notorious for ghosting left but the new one ghosted me too...

TCS vs Infosys for job security?

Are there downsides to wearing a datejust to work, for a first year analyst ? Would you recommend against it ?

“Keep costs down”???? I am happy to keep costs down by not working on this ducking matter anymore. Maybe stop saying yes to matters that are too small to justify our rates and staffing an expensive senior person on them when you’re already dying trying to get anything staffed. You didn’t have to do shit on this matter, didn’t hear you complaining about my taking the lead and managing everything for you when that was happening. >.>

How do I tell a firm I screened with that another firm I screened with is moving forward with full rounds? I would prefer the former firm, even though the latter firm is ranked higher. Thanks for any advice

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

Any insight into the Barnes & Thornburg, Los Angeles office? I see there’s an opening for a Products Liability Litigation associate.

I’m an associate in a busy bankruptcy group (just started after a clerkship) and I’ve started to have to to turn down work because I’m too busy (I don’t tell partners no, but say something along the lines of “I don’t think I’d be able to start on that for a day or two”). How much is too much for saying no to work? This week I’ve been billing like 10hrs a day and worked late 3 nights

Thoughts on going in-house from big law? I do transactional work, work from home a lot, don’t get paid market, I like my boss, but don’t have a solid work group in my city. (Cont.)

Is the lateral market still hot? Any of you interviewing/ lateralling soon?

Thoughts on rep/culture at Wilmerhale (NY) v. Allen & Overy (NY)?

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

How often does your firm give out branded swag? Anything good lately?

Ah, Fridays. The day partners decide they don't want to work all weekend and dump everything on you.

What are people’s experiences with SSRIs/did they help you with work?

Is it better to quit or get laid off? I know what to look for when being pushed out and with a combination of the work I don’t have and the work the firm seemingly doesn’t have, it just feels like a mess. I’ll note I have other job offers lined up because I felt uneasy here for a bit.

I’m debating to join Locke Lord Dallas in transactional. I’m looking to stay at the firm long term and would appreciate any information y’all have. Please be as candid as possible.

When does my class year update (class of 2021)? I think I’m still a first year but the new new first years (class of 2022) just started as well.

Just started in Biglaw as a first year - one of the partners made a passing remark that he couldn’t remember my PQE but thinks I’m “the same as X associate”. Went on LinkedIn and saw that X associate is a third year. How do I gently correct this misconception in a future conversation?

Do any single M&A associates have dogs? I am a third year at a generally work from home flexible firm and considering getting a dog for mental and physical health reasons. Has having a dog been an issue with work? And any tips for bringing a dog home while working insane hours with occasional trips to the office?

Still want a recruitment bonus 👀. Lmk if you’re looking to lateral!
