Any insight into what NY Biglaw counsel positions pay? I imagine it varies but I think my firm may be majorly lowballing with basically just senior associate salary. Bonuses are likely just top of associate scale too so max $100k. I hear people leaving for much higher paid counsel spots elsewhere so curious.

Is $140k base with $50-70k bonus a good OR average pay for sales manager with 1 direct report and a dozen indirect rep organizations?

Know for a fact I do not want to do litigation after one year. Want to try transactional work because I eventually would like to go in house. Firm reluctant to move me around right now because there’s a lot of work in litigation. I don’t want to wait around hoping they will put me in another practice area and jeopardizing my chances at an in-house position. Should I be looking for new jobs?

I just got offered a job with a firm that has billable hour requirements. I’ve never had had billable hours. Is is appropriate to ask what the billable requirements are? I have a good idea from someone I know who works in a different department but want to confirm what they told me. They also provided vacation time of 3-5 weeks. I’m assuming that’s work weeks, but is that appropriate to ask for clarification? I don’t want them to think that’s all I care about, but these are important to me.

1st year business law (solicitor) wanting to transition to comm lit. Tips?

I left biglaw to go in-house and I somewhat regret it. The work is too routine and the internal business clients are rude, incompetent, or both. It’s been over a year. Will biglaw have me back?

Suggestions for a team-wide task system? The main partner I work for wants me to create and continuously update an internal list of tasks/timeline/important deadlines for every litigation we’re working on. So far I’ve been just updating a Word Doc and sending it to the team every day or two but it’s not very convenient since I don’t know what new tasks the rest of the team is working on. (We use Gmail rather than Outlook if that makes a difference.) Has anyone used Monday software for this?

Given the massive supply chain issues right now, I’m trying to start my Christmas shopping early this year. Looking for ideas on good gifts for assistants - we’ve done blankets, candles, coffee/tea previous years (and we try to stay away from gift cards) so it feels like we’ve run out of options. All suggestions welcome!

As a first year associate making a little above average pay , who did not have scholarships, how the F do you deal with the reality that you are literally bleeding interest money

I don’t work in big law, but some of my classmates,who are going into big law, are bragging about the low number of billable hours they are required to hit. I’m hearing 1,600-1,800 billable hours. Is this actually true? Are some firms paying Cravath and only requiring 1,600 for the year? I know it depends on the firm, but can anyone actually confirm this is their experience? If so, then I’m a little jealous 🙃
