Is going in house at the present moment for a large oil & gas company not the best idea?

Every 10 minutes there is a faang post. While you all are obsessing over that remember the grass isn’t always greener. I supported them last year. Sure it’s nice but why don’t people want to exit to federal? Is it too hard to get into?

Hi folks,

How is the WLB in Clairvoyant - an EXL company?

Are EYP hiring at senior associate level now/soon?

Engineering is behind and I need them to put in extra hours to meet the deadline. They're pushing back that scope is too broad but they've been slacking. How do I call them out and not make enemies?

Two of my longest friendships in my hometown are starting to bug me; they’re always cracking jokes to make me look weird, incompetent, not “fit in” with my own friends when I introduce them. I’m starting to notice it more and more, but they’ll say how my friends are awesome because they don’t care what people think and are oddballs, yet point out my “weird” characteristics as if it’s a way to bond with my other friends. Should I laugh it off or be offended? I’m starting to lean toward the latter

The fact that I got a prompt from fishbowl telling me to 'level up' by starting a convo in the introverted consultants bowl is hilarious to me. Do they not understand how introverts work?

Heard a rumor that Google has stopped hiring. Can any googlers confirm?

I've done parts of the CFP but couldn't sit for the exam. I am thinking about finishing the requirements to sit, but I am wondering if my time would be better spent prospecting. Thoughts?

Hi all, I am new here, can I have some rections to this post to unlock DM feature?

My husband never reads and wants to start reading as a new hobby. What is a good book that you would recommend for a 40 year old man? Not self help books, but maybe something with action. I think he would like the Bourne series, but he saw all the movies so he's not interested, but something similar.

Any good article or reading material to understand back door contribution and its various flavors?

Have been with company just a year and a half and having to change to 3rd manager already. Are all bigger companies like this?

I'm an in-house counsel at a national company. Our GC is leaving. I’m the only other in-house attorney, and I’ve only been here for 4 months. I like the job. Previously, I was a 6th-year associate.
The CEO asked me to stay and implied a larger role, but doesn't have a clear picture of what that looks like. Asked for my help in redefining. Even unsure as to timing or whether we'll hire another GC. Questions for Fishbowl: (1) benefits or pitfalls? (2) questions or requests you'd have for CEO?

I report to an MP and Sr associate, both of whom work from home 2+days/week. I know they’ve “earned the right” but at what point is this lack of leadership counterproductive to first year development

Relocating to the Dayton/Cincinnati area in Ohio soon and looking to make new contacts.

Redline or black line?

When is it normal for the monthly billable hour requirement to count for first year associates? (Started mid Sept).

My new firm has a large real estate deal practice. There is one regulatory portion that they refer out because they don’t have the expertise. I have that expertise and want to develop a team to handle. What are your thoughts on origination? They’re not my clients but it’s a new line of income for the firm. Yes, I know the “talk to them about it” answer, but I’m more interested in how other firms handle these situations. Also, I’m not a partner.

How do you know when you deserve a raise? I’ve been working as a real estate closing attorney for 4 months making 80k in Atlanta GA. With rising rent prices and what not I feel like I could really use a raise, besides that I do good work. Part of me feels like I just need to be grateful that I have a job and then another part of me doesn’t want to fall into the trap of undervaluing myself.

Who are your favorite PLI presenters?

Any thoughts on when making a lateral move as a mid-level litigation associate will be feasible again? I want to make a change, but (for obvious reasons) I worry firms may not be looking for any more mouths to feed at this time.

Failure to fulfill this requirement will result in a 10% decrease to any base pay increase and to any variable pay award (where applicable), submitted for you as part of year-end reward decisions.

I’m possibly joining a start up fin tech. I’m obviously aware of the possibility of the firm failing. I’ve run legal / compliance programs at larger fin tech firms and I know it’s not cheep. What questions would you ask/ what would you be aware of?

Secretary filed my MSJ under the wrong case number, so she never filed the motion. The court now rejected the motion. This is California Superior Court - anyone have any suggestions on what I can/should do??

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?

Any books/articles recommendations for a young solicitor in how to adjust to big law environment (I.e. office hierarchies, how to watch your back in such a competitive market, etc)?
