We, as lawyers and allies, must speak out!

What credit cards does everyone use to maximize rewards points? What bank accounts to maximize sign up bonuses?

What pain points are folks experiencing in the digital media space? Most of what I am hearing is related to audience targeting (privacy issues) and conversion measurement (specifically attributing advertising to brick-and-mortar bottom line). Curious if “the bowl” has any thing else that comes to mind?

Ritz Geneva at 50k points for 1 night! Worth it you think?

What all are the benefits IQVIA provides. Need to understand on below points-

1. Leaves
2. Meals
3. Transportation
4. Medical benefits (like dental, optical)
5. Allowances
6. WFH
7. Bonus that excludes from CTC and variable
8. Annual/Half yearly parties
9. Goodies or gifts during major festival
10. Anything else 😅

So spent the last 30 hours working through this trying to books with points. Still nada. Anybody else have luck?

Hi all

The CPE courses that i pursued on june 30 got credited to next fiscal year

I raised a complaint to the us learner team and they reverted my credit points back to be compliant as of june 30th 2021

Today am shockingly getting an emAil that i am non compliant. In the system, my points have been again moved to next fiscal year

Please advice what to do. I have emailed them. But there is no phone number to seek help

Wondering what does a class of 2019 ip litigation lateral offer look like these days? Guaranteed year end end signing bonus? Anything else? Mainly curious about Southern California but all data points would be helpful

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Is the a black market for rewards points? I want to get rid of my delta points for either American or Marriott points

Can anyone describe Amazon’s culture for an associate corporate counsel,based on team? I’ve read a number of comments on this app and across the internet about the company in general but the individuals never specify what team they’re referring to. I’ve heard from two corp counsel that AWS doesn’t have the best WLB but Prime Video does. I’d be interested to hear what this bowl has to add. The more data points I can gather before interviewing, the better.

Best everyday bank account and credit card in Australia for an expat couple?

I‘m moving to Australia with my partner and we don’t have a bank account and credit cards yet. We basically need the bank account only for everyday finance stuff (local payments, debit card, etc) and we‘re looking for some credit cards with good international fees and ideally a reward program to collect some points for traveling.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a title? I was looking for Senior Manager positions but applied for some Mgr positions too. I’m up for promo next year at my current job as well. The current industry offer meets my comp expectation but planning to see if they would bring me in as a senior manager. There isn’t a set hierarchy for the team as of right now as they are building the team and I’d be reporting to a senior executive. Any talking points/tips that might help me negotiate?

Redeemed my recognition points for a portable air conditioner. Hope it's effective!

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Has anyone had roommates who got sick with Covid and they managed to not catch it from them? If so, what precautions did you take? We have a good relationship and so far he’s been staying in his room and using a mask whenever he needs to use the restroom or grab water from the kitchen. I am the only one who touches the fridge and takes his food out so he can eat. What else can we really do?

Have a call on Friday with the CEO of an environmental entrepreneurship non-profit. It could lead to a professional opportunity and maybe even billable work I can refer to my firm down the line. I’m going in with an open mind but little concrete information on his entity and goals and ways I could get involved. What questions would you ask such a person?

Hi, Fishes! What areas of law would you say are likely to land you a position in BL from a small firm?

I feel like I’m always spending either too much or too little time on assignments. Never in the “sweet spot”

What are some tips you have for prepping and also that will make my boss choose to take me to the trial? I have been the main associate on the file but other attorneys have done stuff here and there.

Thoughts/experience on moving from NYC big law to Miami big law? Hours, work/life balance, salary, etc.

I am having one of those days where I regret everything. I have been to 3 different law offices and I hated all of them. I’m wondering what my future is going to look like. Where do I go from here??

What’s average salary in ID firm mid size (NY) about 350 attorneys ? Class of 2019 but was in public sector (criminal law) for 2 years! 2000 billable hours minimum

A friend of mine died today. She was a lawyer,too. Smart, funny, talented beyond belief, hard-working, knowledgeable, beautiful, humble, and genuinely well liked by all who knew her. While she was an exceptional attorney, it is not her legal acumen that I will miss, but rather how she made everyone feel good about themselves when she was near. Be righteous to each other, won’t you? 

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

Confused why Wachtell qualifies as BigLaw when they have one (small) office

Advice on managing up / enduring toxic deal teams? I’m at the point where my stomach drops any time I see something come in from certain people. Everything is behind, client is unhappy, I’m exhausted and simultaneously being micromanaged without guidance on big-picture/substantive issues. I keep trying to tell myself at least this is consulting and the project will be over... eventually...

Third week of doc review. I’m going cross eyed and running out of steam. How do you keep up accuracy and reassure yourself when you realize you have the “I just drove home but I don’t remember it” feeling? Also because I’m WFH I keep delaying and procrastinating and it’s eating into my real life.
