Looking for Help

Second Career - First Year Associate with a Tech Background and experience in Businesses Development and Sales.

I work in Tax Law with a significant billable hour requirement, which I have no problem meeting (1160 Billable Hours achieved just in Q4 last year).

I am looking to speak to a recruiter or anyone with an opportunity in remote work speficially, preferably transactional in nature

Message or Comment!

Thanks!

If only that were the solution - it may seem hyperbolic or exaggerated but that is the expectation that was placed on me, and I met it. It's less of a brag and more of a reality. Only explaining since your comment, while it could have been intended to be a huge compliment, seemed disingenuous, and if it wasn't the case then my sincerest apologies.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound disingenuous. More just shock really. I don't know a single associate (or partner for that matter) in biglaw that bills that amount, mostly because comp and bonuses tend to plateau around 2500 hours. At $500 an hour that's almost $2.2 million in revenue for the firm. Even maxing out bonuses won't get the average big law associate anywhere close to that in comp. I just hope you're extremely well compensated and are ok dedicating that much of your life to your job. If you are, cool cool cool.

I genuinely appreciate your response, truly. Unfortunately, compared to what I'm bringing in, I don't think that the compensation matches my pull, which is one part of my desire to transition, though not the biggest. When I'm met with an expectation, I tend to meet it despite how insane it may seem, and that's where I am at unfortunately. I met it, fought tooth and nail to get there, and now it just seems to be the maintained expectation and that's not sustainable when trying to build a career but also a life.

I’m a recruiter that is ex-biglaw. Does it have to be remote? Could be hard with your vintage but DM me, please.

Happy to speak — I’m a remote associate in transactional law at top firm in its Tech group. Your hours are insane. Get out ASAP no matter what

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?
