Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

How is Analytics & Cognitive doing at D? I have an offer and I am not sure if there will be layoffs again. I am on work visa so will be difficult.
Role will be for Google Cloud & Analytics. Current job doesn't suck much though.

Hey everyone,
I recently started at HubSpot as an account executive covering SMB. I’m finishing up training and a Salesforce recruiter reached about a job opening doing pretty much the same thing. Salesforce was near the top of my list of prospective companies. Curious if anyone has experience working there and would recommend it over HubSpot?

Up antidepressant dosage or quit?
Relatively new position at a coveted firm as their Marketing and BD manager. Have suffered burnout and depressive episodes previously: can feel the symptoms raising it’s head. Most importantly, struggling to tolerate how directors speak to me, whereas previously I wouldn’t take it personally and get on with it. Actively looking for a different position as I’ve come to discover this company exploits EME employees, but want to attempt to end on a “high note”.

Looking for openings in service delivery management with an experience of 9+ years in Toronto, Canada. Currently holding active PR, ready to move by November.

Hi ,

Please share the pay range for KYC Associate Kolkata role?

Urgent need!
TIA.

I applied for an L&D position with Deloitte about 2 months. It still says my application is in review. Any tips or suggestions? I tried reaching out on LinkedIn to a few people but haven’t heard back.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Hello fishbowl ! I am considering a move to the UK or Europe and wanted to know if anyone could share how the average salary for a Deloitte manager in Amsterdam compares with the UK? Trying to arm myself with some facts to help with planning and decision-making 😅Deloitte

Hi all,
Capgemini UK is hiring rigorously. If anyone wants a reference let me know, I can refer you. 😀

Weekends - what are the best sources / instas / emails that list cool, unique, events or things to do in NYC before they sell out...! Less like Time Out, more like Skint, but price isn’t critical.

Anyone know of any headhunter/recruitment firms for client-side marketing roles? (Nyc)

Where have you been ordering takeout?

Anyone has IBS here? Lately I have been having a lot of symptoms of IBS and even if I’m not fully constipated, I think I am to a certain extent. I had excruciating lower abdominal pain this afternoon and it was almost unbearable. Also, my period is approaching so I think my symptoms got worse. Anyone has any tips?

Can anybody help me with Barclays leave policy in India....no of leaves...

For anyone that resigned without an offer lined up and took time off, what did you tell your team as a reason for leaving? I’m just not happy with my company but don’t want to jump into something new yet.

So FTX, a multi-billion dollar business, was running on quickbooks per the Financial Services Committee meeting going on right now 😂 Man their auditors gotta be sweating

Has anyone tried indoor gardening in NYC? Thinking this could be the best time to do so but not sure where to start.

Hello guys, where can i find discount for universal studio Halloween horror night tickets ?

Is it a fail of character leaving biglaw? I want to leave, but despite the constant stress and suffering, I can’t avoid feeling like it’s my fault or that maybe I’m over exaggerating how I feel. All my colleagues feel ridiculously happy, I’m the grinch one that’s never enjoying the grind (but the grind is hard and competitive, very competitive) :( any thoughts? Is there future after quitting biglaw so young?

Are all you associates getting crushed right now? I haven’t had a breather in months. No amount of bonus seems worth it right now

Maybe I’m just realizing I’m lazy… but do y’all ever get assigned an actual, hard research or drafting project and realize you don’t like the effort? Like plz let me go back to doc review.

First year lit associate here. I had a tough time deciding between corporate and lit and chose lit because I wanted to litigate. Its only been a few months but I’m not enjoying the people or the work as it turns out (too many internal investigations and researching obscure issues, haven’t been on a single filed case yet). Anyone else in lit lateral early on in their careers?

Anyone at Fried Frank know what day bonuses are usually paid on?

Question: do y’all really love this stuff and understand it? Or are you all on the “fake it til you make it” wave? I ask because I’m in a specialty group under the Corporate umbrella and many of the partners and some senior associates are extremely smart and clearly enjoy this stuff. Some even do “night time reading” to catch up on the recent laws. I, on the other hand, cannot wrap my head around it most of the time and would rather not waste energy doing it. Is it just me? What do i do? Quit?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

What’s the deal with RFPs? I’ve spent countless [non-billable] hours on several of them only to find out that I’m not included in the actual proposal (the document sent to the client showcasing the proposed case team). Is this normal?

Any group still busy heading into the new year? Been dead for months and still dead. Real estate — V30

How many of you biglaw associates are on your grind trying to recruit people to earn a big referral bonus? I’m treating it like a side gig. Ironic that my firm does not give associates any kind of origination credit. If they took the same philosophy with business development, I would direct my efforts there too.!

Senpais, looking back, if you had known more about your specialty, would you still have chosen it? If not, which specialty would you have preferred to enter? And why?

Great Idea: Let's mandate RTO industry-wide to kick off flu season.

Are tech trans hours better/more predictable than M&A?

Any Atomic Habit readers here? I’m brainstorming identity-based habits for two things I want to change:

-I want to bill more hours, so my goal is to become the type of person who bills at least 8 a day
-I want to drink less alcohol, so my goal is to become the type of person who drinks occasionally

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?

Anyone on these food antitrust cases? Not looking to disclose details just wanna know if suffering alone.

Any intel on life in the King and Spalding corporate group in Atlanta, particularly the specialty groups (e.g., tax, benefits)?

To the lawyer on the other side of the deal that side emailed me about my stupid mistake instead of replying all with the clients and my partner on the chain:

You're my hero and I'd die for you.

How are these 100% remote positions working? Is anyone living in one state and working in another? I’m wondering about tax consequences and bar admission in particular. Appreciate any insights!

Anyone else absolutely *loathe* being assigned new client matters at the end of the month when you know your billable time won’t count bc conflicts haven’t cleared yet? Just me?
