Recently learned that the whole “humans only use 10% of their brain” thing is not true at all. What are some other common science misconceptions?

Should I be alarmed that I haven’t had a conversation with my director in a week +? (Any tips for coming to terms with being laid off for the first time?)

Is there anything wrong with rent stabilized buildings? Is there a catch?

Will there be any layoffs in GDS?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

Hey KPMG how is life in the FRM advisory? Got a job offer from them

Do I work because I love my job? No do I work because it allows me to go on cool vacations and buy anything I want? Also no

Is it possible to have a personal computer made to be EY-Compliant?

My personal computer is much faster than the one issued by the firm. I’d be fine with resetting or formatting the device.

Does anyone tell the truth in exit interviews? About to have mine and not sure whether to be honest about partners who were bullies, backwards culture, etc?

Does anyone have any insight on the firm Husch Blackwell? Specifically their private wealth group.

Anyone else love the movie Carnage? I feel like the lawyer (Waltz) and investment banker (Winslett) are so accurate to the personalities that you meet in our strange world.

How far off market is Greenberg? 5th year litigation in Texas.

There were substantial layoffs at firm and management has denied, saying they were performance related (mostly bullshit). They have not ruled out [further] layoffs in the future.

I don’t want to lose my job, and it would absolutely suck. But I almost feel numb and hard to even get too worked up over the prospect given how emotionally exhausting this year has been. Maybe bcz I feel somewhat safe, but I feel like if it happens, it does, and I’ll find a way to recover/move on.

Can you take medical leave for a nose job? Lol asking for a friend

Best fall vacation destinations on a biglaw budget?

Boston big law folks— which suburbs do you recommend to buy a home / raise a family, but still have a reasonable commute to the office?

Third yet at a firm in a major market (not NYC). Pay is slightly below market and bonuses are not market either. What is the going rate for a holiday gift for a secretary that I was assigned to 2 months ago but has done some work for me through the year and also a paralegal that I have worked with all year?

So I pulled an all nighter on Monday to do this thing, spend Tuesday like a zombie (and I had 5 calls!!!) then on 6PM the senior reviewing my work came back with comments that I needed to turn “ASAP”. I was so tired I just said I would not because I needed to sleep. I sent them today at 1:30 PM.
Would you get mad if your mid-level/junior did that? I’m all for pulling all-nighters and billing but everything has a limit.

(I’m not really sure since I’m a first generation lawyer) I know clerking is generally considered a great opportunity and learning experience and prestigious (?) Is it also the case working for a Senator?

When, if ever, do you add “Esq.” to your name outside of work?

I’m currently in a minor dispute with a company over a credit card overcharge and am wondering if I should have added “Esq.” to my signature in my complaint email lol.

The struggle is particularly real today

How long do you think one could coast billing between 1700 and 1800 hours? Assuming your work is quality and people generally like you (which feedback so far indicates is the case).

Any thoughts on Holland & Knight Philly office? The good the bad and the ugly please.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

After leaving BL, what salary do most people settle at or is that way to general of a question?

Anyone willing to provide a referral to Perkins EC/VC preferably remote but willing to relocate to NYC. Thanks!

Is workers comp a bottom of the barrel practice area?

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?
