Could anyone tell me what the salary brackets are for SA at PwC Deals? My partner has been telling me they can't give me an annual salary increment because I was already at the upper end of the salary bracket when I was hired (for EP purposes) and honestly with the current inflation I need that raise

Hello fishes ! Could you please refer me any bowl to join for EXIM (import/Export) job opportunity? Or any platform One of my friend looking for a job change in EXIM.

FTM. Having a really difficult relationship with my husband. We fight every day. We are both exhausted but things he does really bother me. He’s also depressed at the moment dealing with some family stuff, but that’s making him super unmotivated and undisciplined a lot. There are some good days and some really bad days with us but mostly me feeling lonely and like I just can’t do this with him. When I tell him how I feel he becomes super defensive and makes excuses. Con’t.

Can Someone from IBM refer me for the below position

WTF!!!! Portfolio down 50% overnight!!!! Hold or time to buy more??? Currently in BTC LTC ETH XRP OMG. Which should I buy more of?

Mulan was such a good movie! I laughed and I cried. I loved the way they portrayed mushu and overall loved what the movie represented. If you’re boycotting mulan, what you’re actually doing is boycotting feminism as that’s what the movie represents not one actress’s ideals.

Thoughts on Wealth front?

Quick question: will you buy vanguard index funds through a vanguard account or their ETF versions through Robinhood or Ameritrade (already have Robinhood and Ameritrade) ?

Trying to build a strategy focused on index funds.

Second year lateraling to a new firm and changing practice group - do I have any ground to stand on as far as negotiating bonuses? (Signing, Covid, year end, etc.)

Imagine a person lateraling into Big Law who has never had to do the billable hours previously. 1) What would be your best piece of advice? 2) What do you wish someone would have told you about billing when you started? 3) Is there maybe a book for someone entering the minefield on billing effectively and capturing time effectively? Thanks in advance!

Incoming: mass exodus from A&P

Has a doctor ever suggested that you consider a less stressful job? And if so, are you male or female? I am female and have some chronic conditions. Today at a routine check-up with a new physician, he suggested maybe because of my "medical conditions" I think about a less stressful job. I have never received that advice from the specialists I see for those conditions, and I find it unlikely that a doctor would suggest this to a male patient. Does anyone have any insight?

Advice for interviewing at Greenberg Traurig, or big law in general?

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

For those who have lateraled, how much did you end up billing in your last week?

Any lateral opportunities for litigation associates at Big Law firms in Boston?

Curious if anyone would be willing to share their stories of being laid off/pushed out/ fired? My main goal this year is to not be so scared of having one of these things happen to me so I can set firm boundaries and not be the most anxious person on earth.

Over the last week I’ve had terrible migraine from work. I’ve been drinking water, working out and trying to take mid-day power naps to give my eyes a break. However, as soon as I’m at my laptop, I start getting pulsing headaches where I’m unable to think. Any advice? Has anyone had something similar happen? Work has been super stressful lately for sure

Any idea on when we will be back in the office in Chicago?

Need help from the Hivemind. I am a rising 4th year who has only been at my firm for a little over a year (after a few clerkships). I like my firm well enough, and the partners I work with like me a lot, but I’ve learned that Biglaw is not the life for me and want to get out ASAP. I’m applying to a Fed agency that I’m really excited about, but the application requires a reference from your current supervisor. I haven’t told the firm I’m thinking about leaving. How would you handle this?

Senior associate here. Some of my favorite junior associates (very good work product!) are way off target and would need +200h for the rest of the year to hit bonus. Before handing them late night/weekend work, I ask them whether they want it or whether they prefer to coast for the rest of the year (I’ll hand it to someone else). Am I wrong?

Ramping up at big law as a midlevel fully remote. I feel like I’m slacking. Although have some work and am on some teams, I’m not used to having free time and feel guilty using it to run errands. I’m always there to work on a project asap as needed, but still can’t kick the feeling. Anyone else been in the same position?

Have a coworker who volunteers for work but never ends up doing it. At what point does it make sense to go to the partner to address this? We’re both midlevels, and I’m tired of having to put in even more time every weekend to pick up his slack. If this were a junior, I’d address it with them first, but this is unacceptable from a fifth/sixth year.

Anyone can provide a sense of what counsel salary and total comp is at V10 firms? Understand it varies and some firms pay for bringing in business. Any of these firms offer a big jump when making that promotion?

Should Morgan & Morgan associates be worried?

Thoughts on thank you emails after interviews? Had my interview this afternoon with 3 partners including the head of the corporate group! Should I send one? To the head of the group leading the interview or to all three of them? And should do it by tomorrow I guess? Sooner the better?
