Moved from NYC to LA and regretting it - anyone feel the same way?

What's going on today? I thought stonks only go up?

Anyone lived at Crossing DC? Thoughts on the place?

I just found out my new coworker has ADHD. While that doesn’t bother me, I have never worked with someone with ADHD. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Let’s settle the “insight” confusion once and for all. What’s your definition?

Hi, do we have any testers here?
If yes, hit like.

Hi guys,
I can see that CGI is hiring senior IIB developer. Can anyone please refer me for this position. Will DM the details.

Thanks in advance.

Apparently I drunk ordered 4 Blanton's Golds last weekend. Just got the shipping notification 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

Anyone know of landlord tenant attorneys in NY? TIA!

Just started in Biglaw as a first year - one of the partners made a passing remark that he couldn’t remember my PQE but thinks I’m “the same as X associate”. Went on LinkedIn and saw that X associate is a third year. How do I gently correct this misconception in a future conversation?

I joined capgemini on aug 19 2021 but no appraisal has happened till now.
HR said that I appraisal will happen in April 2023 ! Is that true..
That is a very very long time .
Please can anyone tell if that could be true.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Does LTI not send welcome goodies to all employees ? I just got laptop, charger and bag😐

What is band can be expected with 4.5 years of exp in Bigdata Hadoop in Capgemini.pls let me know and how much can be expected as package

I’ve had to move abroad for awhile but don’t want to get set up here with a new job just yet. Any ideas for how a vet can make money online?

Hi Guys, Need to unlock DM's. Appreciate your help in liking the post!

Travel reimbursement…what’s the rule of thumb for when a client is considered out of town? Mileage, distance etc?

And, what’s required to be covered? Been out of the traditional consulting model for a few years now…

Fish, I trust your advice. Anyone have leads or recruiter recs for SF biglaw litigation? Looking to lateral as a to-be second year, mostly antitrust/white collar.

Why do many associates at top tier firms stay to make Partner when they can go in-house in tech and make around the same, even long term? For example, you can make near 400-550k in-house at Google, Netflix, FB with 8-10 years of exp. More senior than that in-house, it can easily break $1M.

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

Is it possible to transition from antitrust litigation to general litigation?

Any AUSA/DOJ trial attorneys here? What’s life like compared to big law?

Anyone here a GC/assistant GC at a biglaw firm? How are the hours? Who’s hiring?

Did your firm’s leadership send a message re the horrific shooting? Before I lateraled we always got emails from leadership, which IMO were very humanizing and appreciated. New firm leadership seems to just avoid — probably to not appear politically involved. Your thoughts on these types of current events and firm acknowledgment?

Anyone try Celsius, the Gatorade drink? I think I heard about it on this app, but wasn’t sure if people prefer it to coffee?

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

McDermott Will and Emory's New York office - would be a junior litigator. Any reviews/advice?

Give me the strength to set a boundary today and do something fun instead of waiting by my computer for emails

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 (...)

Can I afford a $1.5M primary residence with a ~$9,000 monthly payment after 20% down if my household monthly take home is ~$25,000 (with another $50k in annual bonus)? No debt other than monthly credit card bills. Am I being irresponsible? Will I struggle month to month?

Is it common for a midlevel to gossip with a first year about another first year’s work? Is it common for midlevels to trash juniors amongst themselves? I think my office is hella toxic

What’s the best practice area or type of employer for an introvert? The constant communication of meetings and emails just wears me out. I’m in internal investigations/white collar now and I actually think it’s pretty good for introverts as a junior but less so as a senior. Is government or in-house any better?

Thoughts on Twitter hiring Wachtell for the Elon litigation? I don’t think of Wachtell as being my first call for big litigation matters.

Mid-level when she's leading the call: please make sure you take notes. It's expected of the person not leading a call (note I always take notes)

Me(jr): asked to lead a call for a different deal as training. Mid-level doesn't take notes (also on call) and tells me it's the job if the junior to take notes.

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

Currently clerking, but have accepted a post-clerkship offer at a biglaw firm. Thoughts on whether the firm would give me a referral bonus if I refer one of my friends and they get hired before I officially start?
