Joined a new firm and my group doesn’t really use Teams/Skype/Jabber. I can’t believe how much my mental health has improved by not worrying constantly about whether my dot is still green.

This is kinda weird but is anyone paranoid? I've been so paranoid lately. Like if I'm driving, I visualize me in a car crash. If my parents call, I get paranoid that they have bad news.

Anyone else?

Does anyone here feel suicidal?
I have this inner urge of ending all my miseries. Sick of this looser life

Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

[I140 app. for Green card transfer] I have an approved i140 application at my previous employer. I have been at Google for 1.5 years and haven't started the GC transfer process here yet.
In an ideal world, I would be quitting this job and moving somewhere else that aligns better with my professional goals in the next 3 months.
Does it mandate me to have transfered my GC to Google or should I wait for the offer confirmation from the new employer and do it once for all there?

Key West advice. Looking for a 3-4 day stay in February. Hoping to add this as an extension to an already planned trip so don’t want to spend to much money. Everything seems so pricey for not great value. Any recs on stays / best activities, let me know!

Hi fishes,
I have recently joined in a project as a Oracle JD Edwards finance Functional Consultant.
Is this a good ERP to kickstart your consulting career and whether there are good opportunities for this ERP in the future.

With the resell market being insane, what are everyones thoughts on UA/Reps? I know some people hate them when they are being sold and passed on as real. I know some are fine with them for personal use as long they are not hitting the resell market.

What are the best resources for studying investment banking exams: SIE, 63 and 79? I received sponsorship today and have no idea where to start. Thank you!

Hey all just FYI my psych told me in my appointment that stimulants ordered from Express Scripts often give patients problems...including me. Felt like I was taking something totally different.

I’m unstaffed for the first time this week, which means that no one wants to book me. Not even for BD. I have been crying all day and start having suicidal thoughts again.

How many people did you interview with during the lateral process? I’ve met with 4 already and am scheduled for another 10-12 people (mostly partners), which seems like a lot

I wish I had even a tiny fraction of the energy I had when I first started this job

Which is more painful: watching litigators draft contracts or transactional attorneys litigate?

Is it a big deal if a partner questions how much time you spent on something? Can’t they just write off time that seems excessive, or am I missing something? Sometimes I take a really long time to do things because I switch matters frequently, and I do a lot of research to make sure I’m doing things right.

Do you always feel tired? How do you have energy for anything with this amount of work.

Should I disclose or hide the fact that I am on maternity leave? I have an interview with a big law firm in NY. I’m currently working for a law firm in Atlanta. I imagine I will be asked whether I have returned to the office or working remotely from NY. My husband and I have been living in New York since the pandemic to be near family. My current firm asked everyone to go back last week but since I am on leave I didn’t have to. I want to avoid lying without jeopardizing my chances.

Any restrictions on referring to opposing side’s non-privileged metadata in motion practice? My gut says it’s just data like any other and fair game.

I’d rather quit than revise this agreement.

Curious - would you consider a lateral move to a lower ranked firm if the practice group is higher ranked than at your current firm? In other words what’s more important - firm or practice group ranking?

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job. Thing is, I’ve been incredibly frustrated with the firm - I’m buried in work and billing like crazy, but there’s zero transparency on financials and zero communication on bonuses (...)

To the lender counsel that forgot to mention they needed original signature pages for a deal that closed early this year and decided to chase and harass me a day before thanksgiving and a day after thanksgiving multiple times. F*ck you. I don’t know what is driving your lack of courtesy but I have represented the same bank before and know their usual original signature requirement.
