Is it out of line to ask plainly what your track to partnership is? I was hired at my firm 3 years ago when I was in my 9th year of practice. I was promised a partnership track and strong upward trajectory. At my review in December I got massively positive feedback and a HUGE raise. But I still somehow have a hard time getting assigned decent work and likewise I feel like I get drastically less involvement from partners than other associates get (no I’m not antisocial).

We have motion sensor lights in my office and the sensor is far from my desk. Consequently, if I'm on a long WebEx, the lights go out and it's embarrassing. The building won't change the sensor. Anyone find a solution for this (aside from standing up and moving, which would be very awkward)? I can't rearrange my office.

I have been living in the same building for over 11years now and I just found a shortcut from train station to my building while I was looking for a parking spot last night 🤦🏻‍♂️

How is Karmarama these days? Good work + nice people? Can’t access the campaign school reports…

Hey guys I have been in sales for a while now 2 years in real estate and about 5 months in insurance. How do I get started in tech sales?

Anyone at Bain Capital can share their experience working there? Such as:
- scope of your work throughout the deal lifecycle (does it include post deal value creation too?)
- how do you think Bain Capital differs from others?
- WLB/ culture in general

What is your stance on remote work and productivity?

So what is the cheapest way to get a RIMOWA carry on? Lufthansa Worldshop has great prices but doesn’t deliver to the USA

Anyone from Capability Network - T&O?

I feel like I’m wasting my time waiting on CA bar results 😭, any tips on how I can use this time effectively?

Does anyone know the starting salary for Jackson Lewis in the firm's Connecticut office, as well as the billable hours requirement?

Any insight on working as a staff attorney at Sidley as far as pay, growth, hours, etc.? I had someone reach out to me about a staff attorney role there and just want to hear opinions.

What’s your take on Lydecker? What is the culture? Market salary? Expectation on billable hours? Mentorship? Etc.?

Orally accepted a job offer that I’m excited about, but have another interview this week for a different job. I didn’t realize the first offer would come so quickly! Should I cancel the interview this week or go through with it? Small legal community- people talk.

How competitve is a US district court clerkship?

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

I am traveling out of town for callback interviews. One firm wants me to commit a full day of interviews. Would it be reasonable to ask for a half day so I can fit 2 callbacks in the same day?

Probably a foolish question: are bonuses based off of raw billable hours or billable hours modified by the partners?

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

Is it okay to ask the recruiter if the salary quoted for the position offered to me is the cap or if there is room to negotiate? Not wanting to risk the offer going away so maybe best to not ask/negotiate?

What productivity hacks do you employ? I like to shut off my email for 25 min intervals to focus on real work. It’s like a sprint of focus without being “unavailable” too long.

Entering 3rd year at mid size firm in SE doing ID. I like my firm but really dont like the partner i exclusively work with and am going to put in notice. Do i tell the partner i work with first or the managing partner?

Advice on managing up / enduring toxic deal teams? I’m at the point where my stomach drops any time I see something come in from certain people. Everything is behind, client is unhappy, I’m exhausted and simultaneously being micromanaged without guidance on big-picture/substantive issues. I keep trying to tell myself at least this is consulting and the project will be over... eventually...

I am lead counsel on a case - we’re suing 3 businesses and my supervisor is a named incorporator of one of the businesses although he is not an officer. He is asking me to bring the file and meet with him about the progress of the case. I reminded him of the conflict and he stated that the conflict was resolved because he also has a claim against 1 of the companies that he recently filed separately. I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?

Have a call on Friday with the CEO of an environmental entrepreneurship non-profit. It could lead to a professional opportunity and maybe even billable work I can refer to my firm down the line. I’m going in with an open mind but little concrete information on his entity and goals and ways I could get involved. What questions would you ask such a person?
