Is it normal to have a really choppy workload after lateraling, and how long does this last? Some days I'm billing 10 hours+ and up late at night, others I barely have anything to do. I've been chalking it up to ramping and it hasn't been long enough for me to really worry about achieving balance long-term, but holy smokes is it stressful having such extremes.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.

I didn't care tbh.

I'm more intrigued as what Euron's "gift" will be

Hate that the Aegon Targaryen story went to Jon. Hope GRRM doesn't make that same move.

And I’ve tasted the boring gov-con life

I'm not going to get back 5 hours of my life.

Watched "Indian Matchmaking". Full of incredulous stereotypes that I abhor. Indian here, btw.

Best Chinese food in the Valley? My favorite place closed down during the pandemic. 😕

Ladies, anyone found an eye cream that actually works? Please share what that is along with your age and how long you’ve been using this product.

Do IEP team members other than parents have any rights? For example, when a student is moved from an alternative placement and the amendment meeting was only held with administrators and not with the general education or special education teachers. What happens when you don’t get invited, but should be??

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly. Great flexibility and mobility policies. I’d be happy to chat if interested and get you directly in touch with the right people internally.

Everyone enjoying not having to see giant Christmas trees next to a tiny menorahs?

What has attrition been like for new hires at your office? Been hearing some pretty bad numbers from some of our larger offices.

So im starting to lead meetings with clients but I always find myself going back and forth with the client trying to get more information following the initial WT which I feel is annoying . Is this normal or do I need to do a better job of writing out questions and agendas prior to the meeting.

Anyone up for a virtual summer time meal this weekend?

Accepted a lateral offer and started conflicts and just found out that I’m pregnant. What do I do? Anyone have this happen to them. Did you stay at your old firm?

Ever get so bored that it feels exhausting to do work, even a simple task?

What are some company perks that king & spalding give their associates? (I.e. free food, work phone, comped lunches, etc.)

Best fall vacation destinations on a biglaw budget?

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

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

White collar folks - how busy are you guys now?

Big law literally saved my life. I was working for the government and being sued by creditors and in a deep, dark place. I wasn't even able to afford my Ube transfer application on my own. I've been at my firm for 3 years now and my life has completely changed. I was so close to declaring bankruptcy it's not even funny. I understand why people rag on it but some of us would be in a really bad place if we weren't here

Do big law firms typically need references when you lateral from another big law firm? I don’t think I suck at my job but haven’t made close partner connections at my current firm so not sure who I would ask.

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

Does anyone know the salary for a 3rd year junior associate at Squire Patton Boggs?

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

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

How is Willkie NY?

Who’s still on the old DPW scale? 🥲

Is it normal for 4 different recruiters to contact you in a single afternoon for 1 job posting?? This is getting absurd and distracting

Anyone taken a 3week vacation before?

As performance review season approaches, I am offering my services to ghostwrite the BL Bowl’s annual self-evaluations. For an added fee, I will also attend your performance review. For an even bigger added fee, I will attend in-person.

Has anyone heard anything about Up or Out? Got an invite a couple of times, but trying to figure out if this is a scam or something.

Interviewing to crossover from plaintiff to defense work, wondering what a competitive salary offer would be from a firm in the V20-30 range, 5th year, antitrust practice. NY/DC scale. Thanks in advance
