I’m the type of person that needs to be excited by the work that I do and the people around me to be happy/satisfied. Currently I’m not getting the “exciting work” (on a Tech Finance Transformation)but enjoy my team. However, I don’t know what exactly I would like to do because they’re so many options and I don’t have much experience. Anyone else in this situation?

Sorry if already asked, but do we think admissions will get tougher starting next cycle given the COVID downturn?

Does anyone who lives with their SO sleep in a separate bed? Mine snores and gets up to pee, but the worst is the constant tossing and turning all night. The bed shakes and it wakes me up, it’s torture. The thought of never getting a good night’s sleep again really stresses me out. I think separate beds close together would solve this issue. I tried to think of a good reason for sleeping in the same bed and I honestly can’t. If you’re asleep anyway, does it really matter?

Hello everyone! Does anyone who works at Deloitte know how the referral process works. I’m currently applying and I put that I applied bc of an employee referral, but I wasn’t asked to add a name.

How many of you ladies get super offended when you are in a mood to have sex and your husband isn’t. I just cant handle it and I know I’m being so unfair

Anybody with a priority date of mid-late 2015 that is considering switching jobs? I have an offer that I was about to sign, but saw that priority dates for filing in EB2 are already at sep 2014 this April. That makes me wonder if i could either miss my window or worse if the date becomes current while my new employer is still doing PERM. Anyone else faced this situation in the past or looked at it more deeply? Recommendations for good lawyers for advice also appreciated.

What seniority level is a strategy and operations analyst?

Have any of you asked for more than a week of vacation? My parents want to take the whole family to Europe for 2 weeks. My gparents are from a small, southern town, and except my my gpas tour of Vietnam, have never left the country. I really want to experience this trip with them before they pass. I have never taken more than a week for vacay, and I get asked to work during those usually. Any advice on how to ask?

For any recent laterals (within the past year) how long was your ramp up period? Trying to enjoy not being super busy but also fearing getting the “low hours” talk at some point.

What’s the RTO policy at Hunton Andrews Kurth?

Anyone lateral to a “better” law firm and realize… you’re kind of dumb? 🥴

How likely is it that a firm would actually pursue my lateral signing bonus clawback if I left to go in house at a client or potential client?

WFH question: We are on hybrid schedule. I come into the office 3 days a week. I want to fly out on Thursday after hours and work from a different city on Friday. Is it necessary to tell someone? I am in a long distance relationship so spending weekends with my SO is important to me.

A matter is starting to pick up again. Partner called and said that I was going to be subbed off of it. Reasoning was that I already had too many matters on my hand and they didn’t think I can handle so many active matter at once. I’m not sure if I should take it the wrong way, be worried or be appreciative. My hours are high and need to focus on more time-sensitive matters.

Petition to make “theyr” a word/ abbreviation of “they’re” so that people make fewer typos when they write “they’re” quickly. I think it’s that apostrophe that gets us

Received two offers - taking one (market paying first BigLaw job 🙌🏽🙌🏽) and now have to turn down the other. Obviously waiting to clear conflicts which will take awhile. Assuming I should just call and turn down the other offer, right? Not looking forward to the conversation as a few personal contacts at the firm went to bat for me to get it and had no less than 9 partners reach out to me once they sent it.

Latham folks - when is our year end bonus usually paid? I heard it’s in January, but wanted to ask if anyone remembered when it was paid last year (even an general estimate). Thank you!

Why is it like pulling teeth getting documents and information from clients? I’m a first-year tasked with managing discovery in a few cases and I feel like I’m walking on eggshells when I’m on calls with the client. I just want to tell them to shut up and give me what I need

Any tips on avoiding getting staffed on new matters while waiting for conflicts to clear? Already billing 8-10 hours a day but guess the group is overall busier so I’ve been getting staffing requests.

Any fellow Georgetown Hoyas alumni wanting to go to John Carroll weekend in Nashville!?

I need out of M&A. I like the people, I like the work, I even like most of the clients, but my health can’t take the fire drills.

Currently on on a day where I literally got back from A&E and I’m probably going to work overnight on a closing (and no, it’s neither the partners’ nor clients’ fault, this is government dictated). We have resource but nobody with enough deal knowledge so it’s two people trying to get everything out while two first years wait on our instructions but can’t do much.

I don’t know how you sociopaths do it. I’ve cried now for the third time today because of the stress and anxiety brought by this job. And I could care less about the fucking clients. All I’m doing is working to make money and feel safe. What kind of life is that? Ironically I feel trapped and terrified all the time. I don’t know how to get out. And BigLaw has soured my taste for the entire field of law. This intellectual scaffolding we’ve built is so goddamn tedious. Fuck.

Why hasn’t biglaw made the transition to state of the art technology yet? Like MacBooks, simultaneous document collaboration technology, mobile friendly document editing software, and just generally, new, fast software that works and doesn’t crash. Why are biglaw firms stuck on these ancient tech stacks that cost them millions to maintain and are so detrimental to associate efficiency?

Commercial real estate attorneys — what are your hours looking like? Am I the only one doing 200+ for months or are all of you drowning?

Does anyone know what Holland & Knight’s annual bonuses are like? Are they generally market? What is the hours requirement?

I need advice…. a partner is moving my time to non-billable codes rather than writing it off. He’s doing it to make his numbers look good when fees exceed the quoted fee cap. He is doing it without first giving me a guide on how much time to record and is sending my work without amends (ie my work is good). In my firm billable hours recorded go towards performance, promotions and bonuses. Write offs and realisation are not part of those assessments.

So, stupid question. At my biglaw firm we’ve taken paycuts and the partners have slowed their distributions. What does this actually mean? Management would not tell us if they were actually taking a pay cut. At the end of the year, if profits stay the same because of our paycuts, will they still make the same amount?
