In litigation, how can you actually become a share partner if all the cases you work on are for big firm clients (i.e., seems improbable that you’d bring in new business or become that noticeable to the client that you become indispensable)? Any advice for mid-level to senior associates?

I’ve had a really tense, emotionally exhausting week. Things wrapped up yesterday and now my body feels so strung out and exhausted. Any tips for coming down from being so strung out without relying on toxic habits and just shutting down/procrastinating? (My brain is saying “go for a run” and my body is getting stuck picking at my eyebrows for two hours) I feel like my central nervous system is on a roller coaster.

Copywriters, what are your main responsibilities on a shoot? I haven’t worked on many and am never sure if I’m being helpful enough. I’m always ready to do rewrites on the spot if need be, but don’t know if there’s anything else I should be helping the team with on set.

Can someone explain why alcohol is so debilitating on your health? I had a single drink and the next day at the gym I could feel that drink just wreaking havoc on my workout routine. Anyone have any tips on getting a balance?

Leaving PA for my dream school next year for a career pivot. However still have awhile before I can leave (there’s no reason to forgo a paycheck for even longer than I already have to…). I have no idea how I’ll make it through busy season without quitting on the spot 😩

I would greatly appreciate some fun/engaging/stimulating lesson plan ideas for high school students.

Got two offers -
L.E.K. Consulting -120K as Associate
Deloitte - 120K Strategy Consultant

Trying to figure out which is better - thoughts?

Also I I had a 4.0 for my masters but a 2.9 for my Bachelors - I actually applied to L.E.K. with 3.3 with my Bachelors by mistake (didn't think they cared) - Thoughts on how to bring it up to them/is it worth.

Hi all,

I'm currently working as a Salesforce Developer with 1 yoe. Looking for a change. If anyone can refer, pls DM so I can share my details.

Does your firm let you take 28-30 December off? Many of my team members won’t be working those days and I decided last minute that I’d like to travel somewhere between Christmas and the New Year.

There is a partner that, without fail, calls on Fridays after 6pm anytime I am staffed with him. It’s extremely frustrating since his calls are usually non-urgent and I make it a point to check in early in the day to address anything. Any advice?

How do you deal with unresponsive summers? I’m a junior and overseeing my first project with summers (5 in total). Two are unresponsive and do not acknowledge my emails. Do I need to make it clear that I expect acknowledgement when I assign work? The other three don’t have a problem with this, so I’m not sure what it is.

Thoughts on Steptoe & Johnson? Particularly DC office. Considering applying. Thanks!

Does anyone here know any good recruiters for Boston? Not looking to move, but want some intel (and feel awkward reaching out to the recruiter who placed me here).

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting. I just hate the practice area so much that every time I am asked to do something I just get it done as quickly as possible and can’t be bothered to put in effort. I think I need to quit so I’m not fired for bad performance with a horrible reputation. Am I nuts and should I just wait til they let me go?

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

What’s the pro and cons of doing down stream PE (M&A, buyouts, gen Corp etc) vs upstream (fund raising, formation, operation), in terms of exit, nature of work and upwards prospect? Debating which practice group I should join so would really appreciate some insights on both ends

Anyone have any favorite office decor or personal items? Trying to think of things to make my office less boring now that I'm going back in.

Feel free to share anything interesting that you've seen as well.

Currently thinking plants and potentially wall art.

Anybody leave to start their own firm, realize it’s not worth it then come back to big law? Or didn’t come back..?

How do you deal with a Midlevel who tells the partner you’ll cover for them, but gives you less than 24 hours notice they’ll be gone without asking if you can cover? I helped out back on July on a deal with they were on vacation, and now every vacation since they keep adding me back on without keeping me appraised of the deal in the interim

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?
When they are mid or senior level?

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

Been seeing a ton of V10 (NY white shoe) —> Cooley/Fenwick/Gunderson laterals recently in my network (including Wachtell). What gives? Why those specific firms over, say, WSGR and Goodwin?

How often and how do you exercise?

I run 4x4 intervals on a treadmill every 2-3 days, and pushups/hangups/crunches about the same, but somewhat more infrequently. Great exercises to do with little time. In winter I go XC skiing upstate at our cabin every two weekends or so.

(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?

Thoughts on taking a position in the same practice group and same class as your spouse?

What is the best way to reach out to the attorney in charge of recruitment even when there are no posting available that fit your qualifications — but you still want them to keep you in mind?

Can y’all please consolidate all of your Partner Track comments into one thread? 🙏

So many partners posting about “first day of law school” tips. Let’s be honest, the only thing a 1L should hear is “fake it til you make it.” 💁‍♂️
