I’m hoping to get some insight on two aspects of Restructuring as a practice group. I’m currently Rx, deciding between going for lit v. Rx in a lateral move. (1.) Is there a greater ability for cross office work in Rx than litigation? I’ll be moving to a mid size finance focused city and would like to know if either group would be more likely to let me work with the NY team. (2.) how does creditor side work compare to Debtor side work re: unpredictability of hours, type of work, bizdev, exits?

Backpack recommendation? Got a free one when I joined but it’s kind of clunky/bulky. Anyone buy an Incase backpack?

I am not sure I can continue to work in a system that refuses to let go of people who continue not to do their job. Kids deserve better.

Hi fishes , I am looking for a freelance or part time content writer job for my friend . Any leads ?

Thanks in advance .

I just saw that a Hubler watch given to Hitler sold at auction for $1.1 million. It is an interesting watch (despicable as the recipient of said watch was), but it got me thinking about a larger question: does anyone here collect watches owned by the famous (or infamous)?

Starting salary for senior in accounting advisory out of NYC (EY FAAS/Deloitte Accounting and Reporting advisory)? Just got an offer for both

Can we start a thread for all the acronyms? Y’all lose me with all the lingo 😂

Do you guys ever feel like you're 'too Asian' in the workplace but 'not Asian enough' when it comes to family/friends? My morals are rooted in Asian traditions, but can't speak my native language well

Any Canada Big Law firms throwing around retention bonuses again this year or are those days behind us? The work sure hasn’t slowed.

Did yall hear about the Chicago mom who had her kid taken away because she wouldn't accept that her child was transgender? As a parent, that's actually kind of scary that the government would that with no basis of abuse or neglect. Smh

Currently interviewing and have been rejected by a lot of companies. This is either because I failed some assessment of theirs or fucked up their interview. I feel rejected and super depressed.. Any advice?

Thoughts on Roland Berger’s Dubai office?

How’s everyone feeling after the new moon conjunct Chiron in Aries? 🥴

So, I've been thinking alot and did quite some research but would really love some insight (Accounting vs Fund Accountant)
As a newbie to accounting (completed my graduation and am currently halfway through ACCA), I've worked 3 years in accounting and account operations (AR, AP, Reconciliations, accruals, prepayments etc) and wanted to check out the other side of the coin in Finance.

I recently came across a role of Fund Accountant and wanted to really know what the day to day work looks like

I’m a graphic designer interviewing with a company. Is it normal to ask a potential candidate to redesign a 10 page brochure for their interview test? If not, any suggestions on how to proceed?

Who would you rather have dinner with, Janet or Hillary?

I was thinking that the rise of driverless cars could mean no more car chase movies. Robots not only taking our jobs but also our movie plots

Those of you who have transferred offices at the same firm, how did it go? How did you present the request? I am a junior hoping to transfer from a satellite to a larger market’s office.

Has anyone taken a stealth vacation (i.e. went on a trip but didn’t officially take time off)? Did it work out?

Ever get so bored that it feels exhausting to do work, even a simple task?

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

How do you deal with stub years who are exceptionally bad? I’m not talking about general cluelessness which is completely expected and understandable, but turning in work product riddled with incomprehensible, grammatically incorrect sentences that would fail middle school English. This is honestly the worst I’ve ever seen. Would you just avoid in the future or raise this with a partner? I don’t even know how to talk to this person about this…

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm? Like is there a perception of us being a step down or ancillary to the big leagues of NYC or not? There’s generally a perception here that L&W and K&E are the only US firms where London can even begin to compete with stateside in terms of generating l work organically but would be interesting to know what you all think? Be brutally honest.

How soon to take time off as first year? And how much?

Give me the strength to set a boundary today and do something fun instead of waiting by my computer for emails

Thoughts on Dechert FRE (real estate)?

As performance review season approaches, I am offering my services to ghostwrite the BL Bowl’s annual self-evaluations. For an added fee, I will also attend your performance review. For an even bigger added fee, I will attend in-person.

Does anyone else not relate to the “chill paralegal” memes on litigation god?

What responsibilities should a litigation associate have by their second year?

Is "attention to correspondence" an appropriate description for the 17 hour block bill yesterday? Asking for a friend.

Recommendations on how to simultaneously pay off student loans and invest?

Was interviewing with a firm and soon after receiving an offer, learned of bad culture/toxic partners in the practice group from a couple of associates who recently lateraled from the firm. I turned the offer down. A partner that I clicked with while interviewing reached out asking me why I turned down the offer. Should I be honest and relay what I heard?

I can’t stand people that brag about how busy they are or how late they stayed up doing X. They may think they’re just complaining, but the sanctimonious tone is unbearable. I promise you, no one is impressed. You are the problem with this industry.

I’m a second year associate and last night I was online until 2:30 AM waiting for one specialists comment to a purchase agreement. I had added all comments during the day from everyone else, and the midlevel and senior were online as well, but it seemed very strange to ask me to stay up just to add three sentences to a purchase agreement. Is this normal?

Could we throw some names of “lifestyle firms”/ firms where you can have a life apart from work?
