Lawyer erroneously sends email to mailbox that goes to all firm lawyers. Follows up apologizing that it was a mistake. Do you:

A) Ignore the email; or

B) Reply with some variation on “I received this email in error,” thereby spamming all firm lawyers?

That’s right, B (at least based on the 13 emails I just received).

Hi Guys!!!

I have an experience of near 6 years and I have an offer from JPMC and Pepsico. There's a difference of 5-6 LPA. Pepsico is paying more which is basically a variable component. In Pepsico, project/product development will start from scratch. Though JPMC is an established brand name. Which company should I join? Any suggestions and advice are most welcome.

Thanks in advance!!!!

M fish, do any of you have recommendations for comfy athlesiure pants which are water resistant but also look good enough for wearing to a bar or restaurant? I like to be a minimalist packer and my vacations at this stage in life consist of some light hiking during the day followed by nice bars and restaurants so looking for a one stop solution I can wear for both. Looking to be ~$60 or less per pair. Thanks in advance!

First time visiting Dallas and looking for a reasonably priced Airbnb. It looks like Westmoreland Heights is at the right price point, is the area safe enough? Been burned by Airbnb once before unfortunately

Is NSR required in all companies?

Do you find there to be a stigmatization of spending (collective) your entire career in
one city in our industry? If yes, do you feel it’s contingent on which city it is? What your role is? Both?

Any ACD/Senior Writers looking for a partner?

I’d like to get modest appreciation gifts for some of the junior associates I work with (think bottle of wine, maybe chocolate), but some are in other offices. Any recommendations on how to do this, or should I just send them a gift card?

Have other counsel received salary increases? What are your firms doing?

I lateraled a couple months ago to an Am Law 100 firm but I feel like I have way less administrative support than my previous boutique. My old paralegal and admin were just completely top notch and did everything non substantive for me. Now I feel like my admin support is so slow and doesn’t know what’s going on with my matters. I’m a second year so I get some of its on me but I feel like this is such a time suck. Do other people feel that way or did I just get a bad draw?

Two of the partners I work for gave me a really nice Christmas gift. Am I supposed to get them a gift now? What is appropriate?

Was anyone on here laid off during the 2008 recession? Can you tell what you did to get your career back on track?

I know this happens a lot but I still get mildly annoyed when a senior tries to make revisions to your work that don’t actually make sense and the partner eventually just reverts to your original language/wording. I’m a senior myself and I remind myself constantly not to mark something up for the sake of marking something up.

Got an email late last night from my partner asking where my comments were. The email was fine, but they replied all to everyone in the email. So annoyed, but also very glad I am giving notice tomorrow.

What class years do you consider midlevel? 3-4?

Is maternity leave paid at your firm? My old smaller firm had paid leave and I’m now at a v100 firm with no published policy on maternity leave 😊

Is amlaw200 considered big law all around? As in, amlaw100 folks do you perceive them differently? If yes, why?

If you are a non-equity partner and have a nice year, say a 7 figure book, how might a firm compensate you? Non-equity compensation is not really clear to me.

For all US capital markets lawyers, what do you like about your practice area and why did you pick cap markets and not something else (e.g. M&A)?

“Oh good,” I thought on Tuesday, “There’s a chance this one bad case will settle and make my caseload more manageable.”

“Oh fuck,” I thought on Wednesday, “Four of my other cases just exploded simultaneously. That is the opposite of more manageable.”

I think I jinxed it. ☹️

Is it normal to struggle with the transition to starting your first legal job? I did all the things - graduated law school, passed the bar, started at the big law firm that gave me my SA offer 2 years ago… Now, I’m feeling miserable. It’s only been 2 weeks and I’m not particularly enjoying work. I was totally burnt out on law school at the end and it was a struggle to finish. I figured I was just “over” the law school grind. Now I wonder if I’m actually “over” the law. (Cont’d below)

PSA: Deals with year-end closings are coming. You overcommitted last year. Choose better for yourself this time. (This post is more for me than you.)

Alright, what do people write in their notice or farewell email if they're leaving because of a toxic culture? Obvious answer is leave it bland, but does anyone actually write anything beyond the bland, I resign blah blah?

Do you have any tips for managing up? I’m a midlevel. Often times partners are sitting on the docs before they confirm sign off or provide comments. This is sometimes a problem when clients want to close asap (they send chasers, etc).

For lateral conflict checks, are you supposed to disclose every matter you worked on even if you didn't have a significant role or if the matter is closed?
