When is the earliest we can leave the firm and still be able to keep the sponsorship? Given we don’t really do secondments or externships, I’d really like to try out something different.

I’ve read that writing down goals leads to a higher success rate of meeting them, but every time I write them down, I never meet them. I always have a better outcome if if I don’t put too much focus/pressure on what it is I want. Anyone else experience this?

Is running an Amazon FBA dead in 2022? I have been wanting to look into it but wonder if it’s too saturated now. Thoughts?

My wife and I are first time home buyers and are struggling to figure out if we should go for a 20% downpayment (which will be kind of a stretch for us) or go for lesser DP, say 15% or 10%. The fact that a less than 20% downpayment attracts additional mortgage insurance (PMI), we are not able to make up our minds whether we'll be better off paying extra money in insurance every month or pulling our means to pay full 20% down.

Suggestions from experts out here or those been in same situation?

Will no one rid me of this turbulent special counsel at Milbank?!

Senior associate here. Went on my first summer lunch yesterday, and the junior associates were giving out terrible advice and talking out of their asses. Should I tell them to tone it down?

Is it too late to completely switch practice areas as a fourth year associate?

Leaving my firm this week to go in house. The response from my clients when I give them the news has unanimously been “I went in house early in my career and it was life changing.” So ready.

Who’s on the all nighter train with me tonight? Commiseration thread?

It is January 1, 2023 and you are closing you December time. You realize that you missed your annual bonus target of 2,000hrs by 1hr of billable time. Your firm has made it clear that you won’t get any bonus if you don’t hit the minimum. What, if anything, are you going to do?

Is there such a thing as a fifth year lit associate at a V10 switching to corporate within the V100? Obviously rare but curious if anyone has seen it.

If something is due “this afternoon,” what time is it actually due and what is the latest that I can reasonably send it in?

Upset Kirkland associates, I can refer you to my firm. Generally lower hours. :)

When giving notice, do you tell them which firm you’re going to? If no, how do you get out of the question when they ask.

Any intel on the following NYC finance/banking groups? E.g. billable hours, friendliness/culture, experience opposite them in deals.

New to private practice. I have heard that first year associates are not really expected to hit their hour requirements. Is that true?

The way firms throw wads of cash at attempts to impress associates then nickel and dime us on the small stuff makes no sense. Millions being spent on our upcoming retreat (which I'd rather not attend in the first place, but the constant messaging of "how much we're investing in this" and other pressures made me cave), but I have to pony up the difference between an aisle seat and a window seat to get there.

How about moving it to a Ramada and letting us all fly first class?

Juniors, is getting a very legible hand markup (in pdf) from someone above you annoying? Everyone else, do you do this?
