I've been working in this new law firm for a couple of months and I've been approached by a former client for which I was working for in my old firm. He was basically asking for a fee quote (nothing crazy). We have a meeting planned with that potential client.
My question now is, what type of compensation should I ask to my Partner for (potentially) bringing a client? What amount would be reasonable to ask?
I'm a junior lawyer (in the EU).

You brought that client/business in- ask for the billing credit. If they say no, then ask to split it with the partner. Make sure it’s documented in an email so you can refer to it later during your evals/compensation discussions. You earned that credit and don’t settle for less.

Of course! I’ve seen way too many friends and colleagues have business taken from them because it was never explained to them or they didn’t know/learn until after the fact. Stand your ground and let them know that, while you’re a team player, you also know your worth and know when/how to advocate for yourself when and where credit is due. I was so scared and nervous the first time I did this but I’ve come to find that the right people will respect you more for it. Keep us posted and you got this!

Hi..
I Appeared for an interview for RPA - Automation Anywhere. I didn't got any response after the interview. Then when I reached hiring manager through LinkedIn I got to know I cleared all the rounds but my expected cts is high so they might have rejected. First thing is I never said what I am expecting . And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?

How do I know Big-Law is not for me?

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time. I did some small work for two partners and they loved it, so put me on new deals but the mid levels I am staffed with absolutely hate the work I do. One said the work I did was laughable. I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.
