NYC F associate here. I haven't seen any female partners in my group actually come into the office in recent months so I genuinely don't know who to ask. For an institutional client meeting, is a black sheath dress with 1.5" black or nude heels and either beige or black blazer acceptable? Also what color combinations work best? I legit don't fit into my suits anymore so I'm hoping that's sufficient but wanted to make sure biz casual wasn't too casual.

When your analyst pings you with a text at 2am about the model they're working on: "Done!"

How much do your personal beliefs influence your work, and in what ways? For example, if you were a Bernie Bro, would you ever represent Trump or a Trump-endorsed/affiliated person/entity, and vice versa? Do you think you have an obligation to turn down work for a client whose beliefs you personally find repulsive? Or do you think your obligation is to set aside your personal beliefs and act in your client’s best interest regardless of how distasteful you may find them to be?

I'm in the middle of a background check with Deloitte for a Project Delivery role. In the background check application I listed my previous employers - Cognizant/Teksystems etc but my resume only had the client names I worked at . Does this pose a problem if Deloitte HR compares my resume to the background check form ? Also my title within cognizant might have been an associate but my resume mentions the designation for the client. Is this a reason for concern? Will they ask me to justify it ?

I just started on a new team. I am so overwhelmed the team is all new. I feel I have to take on everything. Our strategy guy either hates me or is taking out his anger out on me. I’m so frustrated.

Why do managers never give release from the project easily even when the reason for requesting release is valid or staying in the project is having very bad consequences on someone's career goals?🤔

Anyone have suggestions for holiday gifts for their secretary? I am a first year associate and one of several attorneys she works for.

Do you ever catch yourself overthinking a customer interaction for 15 minutes after a call?

I have come for RTO after withdrawing resignation only to hear from the security guard that I'm TERMINATED from client end! I have not received a single mail on it. Rather, Accenture retained me for the same client's project. My AVP, Manager, HR all aware. They are telling I'm on Accenture payroll. I got a re on-boarding email from client end today too. What's going on?

A partner asked me to talk to a potential new client. A small business looking to get certified as a CBE. I told the partner that the company was put off by our rates. But really, I told the potential new client that the government's CBE office has free resources including one on one guidance through the process.

Transactional associates: Why is it ever worth it being an asshole to opposing counsel? Are you trying to make the deal more miserable or do you actually care about the innocuous defined term you are fighting so hard for? Let’s all be cool.

Hi All - Currently working for JPMC and keen to move into consulting. Wondering if consultancy firms are generally able to match or beat salaries from IB firms?

Those at Deloitte, how are you getting 6 months? 4 months is family leave, is it one month can be short term disability? And then another month is just PTO?

I have a student with autism. He is mostly behavioral and at a lower learning level so he has to be in a separate classroom. We try to let him play with the students at recess or join in class parties. He has a sibling that attends school as well. When we were waiting in car line a group of girls talked about how they feel so bad for the sibling because of my student. Thankfully, neither student or sibling heard. But how do I respond to that as an adult? Especially, if they do hear?

Does anyone use a Wealth Management advisor? Pros/cons and would also appreciate any referrals to someone great, thanks you!

My husband just got word on partnership. How to celebrate??

When he told me, my jaw dropped on the phone. I’d like the celebration to be a bit more memorable than phone silence.

What did y’all appreciate?!

How is V&E Houston?

I've billed 200+ hours/month for the last 3 months. I've billed about 15 hours this week so far and Im feeling a bit anxious. Im a junior and I feel like everyone is looking at my hours (all in my head I know) but is it okay to enjoy this slow time?

Working Canadian big law. Really burnt out and not enjoying work. Very understaffed and work product is suffering. Partners not hiring new associates, classic toxic work/availability expectations etc etc. have an opportunity to work with a boutique firm, make same amount making now but plus % of billables. Smaller deals and less sophisticated but opportunity to help grow the firm and be more entrepreneurial. Weekends generally protected and lower yearly target. What would you do?

I’m a first year. My second year associate keeps assigning me and a summer associate full days’ work on the weekend and Friday nights without the instruction of the seniors and partner. I find it unacceptable since the timeline and instruction is completely arbitrary. What should I do here?

What do you guys consider “corporate” work?

I am seeing a ton of jobs posted for corporate attorneys, but some listings don’t include any kind of focus like securities or M&A?

Would just any kind of work for a big business fall under this umbrella? Litigation is pretty obvious, so everything not under litigation?!?

Trying to craft the resume properly for that lateral move 🤪

If you schedule dinner or something, do you put it on your work calendar as busy? What do you write? Personal time?

How much do recruiters generally cost firms to place a junior associate? Wondering how much a firm saves when they cut recruiters out of the equation (and if this could impact negotiating a higher signing bonus)

Transactional associates: do you bill your time while you are up late at night waiting for either: 1) opposing counsel doc reverts; or 2) when someone senior on your team asks to do something, but you are waiting for them to finish so you can do that something?

Looking to switch from a boutique firm into big law and make a move into corporate from litigation. Anyone have experiences doing this? Also, does anyone know which firms are more willing to hire laterals from outside of big law and which ones won’t?

Any other junior associates feel ignored by partners? Seems like as soon as I begin talking on calls, they zone out and just start looking at their emails instead. If my comment is longer than 10 seconds long, they just start browsing their phone.

If you apply for a corporate job with a recruiter, how does that affect that following-up process?

Hi All current 1st year here - was wondering how many years of experience is optimal before trying to lateral? / is there a time of year when the lateral market is the hottest?

Does anyone ever give honest feedback in exit interviews?

JD mortgage question since I've seen talk of it here: I'm a third year looking to purchase a home. If I've saved enough for a down payment of 10% or possibly 20%, is there any benefit to the JD mortgage? Better interest rate? No PMI if 10% down?

What is WSGR lit practice like? WLB exist?

1st year/stub in Texas. I was a summer at my firm in both 2019-2020. Thought I preferred litigation, and told the firm that last summer. Had a change of heart, and in April of this year asked the CTO to switch to transactional. However, she said they didn’t have a need for another junior in transactional. Now I’m in lit and hate it. Can I ask to switch again? When would be the best time to do so? Or should/can I lateral as a 1st yr? I like my firm, just don’t want to start my career like this
