Legal assistant emails me at 4:08 about a noncritical task I am juggling. I am responding to the email. Partner overseeing the matter emails me at 4:09 telling me to respond.

I hate this profession and these people so much.

Just got a $125 gap gift card in the mail from EY for having a child. Though QR code doesn't work.

Anyone else receive this from EY?

To those who have delivered. Are they still doing photography at the hospital after you deliver?

Has anyone had a nurse state the assumed sex at 12 week ultrasound? The nurse is fairly sure it's a boy, and I'm wondering how accurate her guess is based on a close look of the genitals. Confirmation won't happen until 20 week appt, too far away!

I was wondering what’s the usual pay rise one gets with a promotion as an underwriter. I am an associate underwriter due to get promoted to underwriter 1

Do you say “remuneration” in place of Compensation or in place of Total Rewards? For some reason I thought it was more related to TR and both Comp and Remuneration were used globally.

I’m teaching the juniors on my team a few frameworks for getting to a strategy. So far I have the 3/4 Cs & BBh/Chiat disruption model. Any other thoughts/ ideas/references?

I have been in client facing wealth management as an advisor for 10 years. I haven’t built a book of business because I’ve worked for mostly discount brokers (Merrill edge, TDA, Etrade). I want to know how to transition to a non client facing role in wealth management or another financial role. I am series 7 and series 66 licensed. Any thoughts?

Which offices are doing a return to office push in LA?

How much do SAP principals make with about 8 yoe

Curious to know what would be the base salary range for Project Managers in IT implementations in the Houston, TX area. 14 yrs total IT experience and 5 yrs as a PM.

I am looking for the post made by the junior associate with the voicemail from the female partner on a Friday night telling her how stupid she is. I didn’t bookmark the voicemail and I wanted to show it to a colleague to show her there are worse bosses than ours. Lol. It was circulating a couple of months ago. I believe it was a New York firm.

Anyone at Pryor Cashman have intel on firm culture, work/life balance, and comp?

I am a federal government attorney (DOJ) with 2.5 years of litigation and bankruptcy experience. I want to break into tech companies/finance and apply for jobs @ Google, Robinhood, etc. Does anyone have any connections I can leverage?

I don’t want to make partner, and I want to stay in big law for 2-3 years, do you suggest I just do the bare minimum for hours or should I still be doing as much work as possible?

Probably a foolish question: are bonuses based off of raw billable hours or billable hours modified by the partners?

Are new associates in your firm eligible for bonuses in their stump year?

Enviro/ natural resource lawyers— what’s your dream job?

Is 150 billable hours per month little/average/a lot?

Any advice on how to deal with a partner/boss who is shifting all responsibility to me with zero guidance, no mentoring, and an unwillingness to discuss the issues? (Small firm, only associate under this partner and have been working at the firm for 2 years). There are an increasing number of passive aggressive comments from the partner who expects to be completely hands off once the case lands on my desk. Wants me to figure it all out despite cases being from different areas of law.

I am concerned with fulfilling billable hours requirement. I’m required to hit 2100 hours yearly and I’m at ~1,500 hours and I think I’ll hit 150-180hours this month. What will happen if I don’t hit my targeted amount by the end of my year.

I’m my partners only associate and I went on parental leave two weeks ago. I feel horrible for leaving him to handle our cases alone, but am trying to focus on my wife and new baby. That being said, should I still offer to handle minor matters that come in to ease the workload off my boss? He’s been super cool during my entire leave, so I don’t feel pressured to one bit.

Orally accepted a job offer that I’m excited about, but have another interview this week for a different job. I didn’t realize the first offer would come so quickly! Should I cancel the interview this week or go through with it? Small legal community- people talk.

Any thoughts/opinions on Hogan Lovells and their Capital Markets practice (especially any insight into the culture, associate-partner relations, quality of work, work/life balance, etc.)?

How does client secondment work from time mgmt perspective? Do you still have to bill even though you're essentially in-house?

As a junior, how do you deal with the anxiety that the advice you provide to a partner based on your research (that is being sent to client without much supervision) could be wrong or incomplete?

Any insight on Gordon Rees pay for 2-3 year associate in a non-major market? I know they don’t pay market, but there are no BigLaw firms in my city

I am lead counsel on a case - we’re suing 3 businesses and my supervisor is a named incorporator of one of the businesses although he is not an officer. He is asking me to bring the file and meet with him about the progress of the case. I reminded him of the conflict and he stated that the conflict was resolved because he also has a claim against 1 of the companies that he recently filed separately. I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?

Entering 3rd year at mid size firm in SE doing ID. I like my firm but really dont like the partner i exclusively work with and am going to put in notice. Do i tell the partner i work with first or the managing partner?

What is everyone’s: (1) billable hours this year; (2) practice group; (3) year; and (4) size of law firm?

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.
