I'm infatuated with someone and I'm probably being annoying ugh 😫

Out with friends in Long Island, where the cute single men at 😝 (we are females)

I recently asked everyone’s age filters on dating apps and there were some mentions of fear of baggage and that’s why you don’t date older than X. What baggage are you afraid of? Ex spouses? Kids from prior relationships? What is it?

Being said, there are just very 'few' members for Chennai location and apparently don't have their team members from Chennai, I thought it'd be amazing to have a meet up - for making friends, and network so we feel less lonely. Any thoughts and suggestions?

Bored on a Sunday night, any female fish feel like chatting

What’s the right age difference? My friends set me up on a date with a girl who is 12 years younger to me. I was feeling so uncomfortable all through my dinner with her.

If your GF is interested in a 3some, what are your thoughts on that? 🤭

Any single woman up for a drink this evening? 🥳

Any single women like houses?

Best part about being single: Not having to hold in my gas ! What is the best part of it for you??

What do you read daily to stay up to date on life, current events, advertising, pharma advertising, etc?

I was accosted last night at the bar when some guy overheard me telling my date I worked at Apple. Lots of expletives and "go back to where you're from" rhetoric. Do people really feel this way? So far, everyone I've met has been so welcoming.

I think I’ve been single for too long and find everyone annoying lol. Went on two dates over the last week and couldn’t wait to leave 😂

Anyone else’s love life so DRY that you find yourself having a crush on an older man at work who is in senior leadership? I keep it professional, but I feel like I’m doing something so bad by having this crush.

May not be the right bowl but I need insights. Guy likes me and vice versa, was over at my place helping with something, had a huge erection but said or did nothing. I can’t figure out why..

Got a question about your dating situation, post here!

What's dating like in SF? New to the area.

Where is the best place to watch football on Sundays and meet a single guy in his late 20s to mid 30s?

Can Grindr be used as a dating app?

I've never been a person to go on dates and have trouble accepting such offers. I feel a lot more natural in group settings and don't mind hitting it up with someone there and then carry it forward. Anyone else had this issue? What did you do? Really looking forward to meeting smart men who can appreciate Desi jokes in the 24-26 age bracket

Any corp associates looking to move from biglaw to a boutique? My firm remains busy and is looking to bring on a couple associates. We’re all either hybrid or fully remote, and that’s here to stay. 1500 billables and we’re serious about it. Work is primarily ECVC, Outside GC, M&A. Pay is roughly 30% biglaw haircut, with incentive bonuses for hours and originations.

Anyone can tell me what an airport lounge looks like?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

I’m nervous to start selling insurance in an only -commission position although I hear these are the most lucrative. Would you insurance agents out there recommend a newbie insurance agent accept an only commission position? Please let me know

Anyone ever get tired watching GoT alone? Used to watch it in college with roommates and was so much more fun than watching alone these days.

What would you choose, Big 4 or T2 firms like GT or BDO?

I have been in Deloitte since ever and wanted to consider moving to other firms.
Does it necessarily have to be another Big4?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of moving to a Tier 2 firm?

Would be really helpful if someone who has seen both sides could elaborate in terms of difference in culture, pay, work life balance, etc.

Where is the fun in consulting without travels and events

Have an initial phone screen with Navigant for Rev cycle consultant position- any insight into the interview process? Glassdoor is looking a bit dated. TIA😊

I’ll be promoted next year to senior but I’m in a niche role where I don’t see myself long term. Should I make a job switch now or should I wait to get promoted to senior? I currently have 1.5 years of experience.

Can anyone shed some light on Deloitte’s ServiceNow practice? Wondering about WLB and pay as somebody with 2 YOE. Thanks :)

Started my first job out of college ~1month ago and am only at around 50% utilization. Before I fully ramp up, what would be some good skills or certs to work towards? I’m working for my firms management/tech practice and am also open to expanding my coding skills (currently pretty basic)

I’ve been negotiating a settlement on behalf of a client. OP is a major corp. we’ve gone back and forth for months, almost a year. Finally came to a final agreement and we’re reviewing for final signature. Then client is reviewing and decides they want something else modified. It’s a point of contention. OP has said no. Should I communicate this to client before pushing back against OP’s rejection of the mod?

I’m a new third year associate working at a satellite office of a midsize firm. I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to truly get good at my job or the multiple areas of law I’m asked to practice. What are some things you’ve done to gain confidence in your practice area?

Just finished watching Downfall, call me naive but it amazes me how not one person got jail time.

Nothing like the named partner who you *know* is actively opposed to associate salary increases (despite living in a market where the COL has significantly risen and outpaced general inflation) telling you about how annoying it is to winterize her 4 mega luxury sailboats she has on her waterfront dock. 🙄

I have created a bowl for those who want to know more about their potential new firm - ask anonymously and hopefully someone within the firm will respond! Or we can help find the right person for you! Bowl name is biglaw offer - see you there!

I’m a big law attorney and thinking about getting my real estate license (brother is thinking about the same thing, so we’re thinking to go into some RE investing together). Thoughts? I know my firm wouldn’t ever let me actually represent someone as an RE agent, so then I’m wondering if there’s really any value to me getting a license?

What to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed but still need to bill and meet deadlines?

Can someone please tell me what “suitussy” means

Does anyone else's firm use dictation phones? I have to use them so our secretaries can enter in our time but I cant stand it. Feels like i'm a lawyer in the 80s or 90s...

Any tips on leaving a firm “correctly”? Was about to go “of counsel” with my firm of 6 years, but then another firm whose partners I really respect (and personally like) offered me a partnership position. I predict my current bosses will *flip* (cut off file access immediately, try to beat me to calling my clients, etc.), so how do I set myself up for a successful transition?

Anybody else quiet quitting just until Christmas bonus time?

Tips for becoming more independent as you progress from junior to midlevel? I am starting to be put into the position of just having to handle things including drafting and could use some advice from others.

When did you know your firm wasn't right for you? I'm not sure if it's just the stress of being a new attorney with a family or if my job isn't the right fit. I work in civil litigation and am consistently below my billables. I can't stay late because my kids need me and I can't work on the weekends because I have to maintain my house and take care of my kids. I'm being constantly told to work harder, stay later, etc but it's not practical. Or am I not approaching this with the right mindset?

Okay. Possibly a stupid question BUT Imma ask anyway.

Can someone just explain how you plan out how much to bill so you can make sure it’s not a mad scramble at the end of year? I’m moving from a firm where I was lacking in any kind of mentorship. No one ever just sat down and explained the most efficient way to track/measure your hours to confirm that you are on track.

Is there just a secret excel spreadsheet that all lawyers have and I just missed the memo???

HELP.

Do any of you have side-jobs or maybe hobbies that you make money from? Alternatively, what do you think sounds like a good one to look into?

What do you buy to “treat yo self” with a big bonus or payday after a case concludes? Let’s keep it to “goods/services” instead of paying down loans, etc. just for fun.

I am a 25-year-old first year associate fresh out of law school at a small civil litigation firm. I went to a good law school and work hard. I’ve been in this position for about 5 months now and I keep messing up. Losing track of tasks. I have never felt dumber. Any advice? Should I be doing better at this point? I’m a licensed attorney!! Is this normal?
