Okay - I know some people like coming into the office 5 days a week and that is really terrific you enjoy that, and that working on-site is such a critical component of your happiness. Most of us don’t want to be here. When you brag about being here late, or brag about coming in every day, no one thinks you’re working harder than the rest of us, or that you’re more valuable than anyone else. Keep doing what you do, just keep it to yourself and mind your own anti-work-from-home business, Kthxbye.

I’m new to the group but I’m interested in getting a side gig/ hustle. I work from home right now. Which is fantastic! But looking to add a little extra income to the bank. I have a background in customer service, along with self taught tech. But does anyone know of a side hustle that doesn’t require previous experience? I just want to boost the income a bit. Even if it’s only a extra 5-10k a yr

Office might be switching to an all WFH format, no clarity yet. Is it worth moving to NYC now? Or is it better to be somewhere in Jersey City so I can commute for team meetups/ happy hours?

Hi, I’m looking for a Recruiting Coordinator role that’s fully remote. I’ve been looking for a couple months and have probably applied to like 500 jobs, had interviews (past recruiter screen) with only maybe 7 companies that didn’t work out. I’ve made it to the final round twice to be told I wasn’t selected due to a slight experience difference. I’ve been in Hr for 5 years and have been in this role for 1.5 years now. Is anyone hiring?

I am not able to add family details in Discover portal. Even when i enter it says please enter family details. Can someone please help 🙏

I was offered a job at the beginning of September. The company was acquired this year by a big corporation and pushed the timeline of my start date and official hire until Jan 2023. The talent specialist said she would keep in touch ever month or so. So far I have sent a couple of emails and nothing. Have I been ghosted and should I start the hunt again?

Working with a recruiting firm towards an exit - they quoted a comp range for the job at the beginning of the process. In negotiations am I ok to ask for a comp slightly higher than the range quoted by the recruiter? My interviews have all gone extremely well.
Just trying to get a sense of how strict are the recruiter quoted ranges.

How does moving from big 4 to MBB work? I wasn’t able to apply to MBB out of college because I’m from a non target school. Will my college still prevent me from being hired, or do I have a chance now having worked for PwC for 3 years?

I am looking for a partner (preferably an experienced female) to help me Capitalize on succession planning for over 800 Chicagoland companies.

What is the most efficient way to find full time opportunities as a CD or ACD? Broad question, but hitting a dead end after about 2 months and 3 interviews. Big confidence blow - imposter syndrome kicking in even with quite a strong portfolio with big name brands.

What am I missing — are we hitting recruiters up on LinkedIn, getting referrals?

I’ve had a rough day today and it’s not even noon on a Sunday. This is one hell of a profession.

At what point is it too late for an associate to transition from big law to a plaintiffs’ firm?

You are plaintiff. One of your defendants is a “doe.” You have to move for default judgment. Can you default a Jane Doe? Or do you just fail to prosecute the Doe and default the named defendant?

We had a Disaster Recovery Plan in place for two years. All desktops had been replaced by laptops. Having 42 people take them home three weeks ago to work remotely was not too difficult.

Leaving my firm after being here for over 5 years. Wish I had kept better track of the number of deals and projects I worked on and the emails I'd want to save. All the emails will be lost to me forever, which is an odd feeling.

How do you deal with difficult staff/paralegals? I’m still fairly new but everything feels like a fight to get the info or help I need. It seems like there’s always an excuse and no one can just do it

ID Associates…how the hell do you reach your billable requirements? Just started at an ID firm and am lost as to how it’s possible when there is so much daily grind type work that you cannot bill for. Someone enlighten me.

Do biglaw paralegals all get paid hourly with overtime? I always feel bad about asking for late-night paralegal help for filings, but my sense is that they’re all eager to do it, presumably for an OT rate.

Question: how long after a C&D reply do wait for OC to reply before you consider the matter closed. Sent a reply and OC went radio silent for over a month.

Need some motivation to keep grinding away - I know we make fun of partners on here a lot, but what are some examples of partners doing cool things that make you aspire to be a partner? Or examples of partners with a good handle on work life balance? I need some inspiration!

I currently work at a super small firm in dc working on international litigations and some arbitration and I’d like to transition to a medium or big firm, but am feeling discouraged because of all the talk about how bad the job market is. Anyone out there have any advice on firms with litigation or arbitration associate openings? (I’m a 2018 grad)

I am interested in moving to another state and realized that this state has one of the most restrictive reciprocity rules in the country. I've passed multiple bar exams. However, I won't get any credit for time I worked in CA because CA isn't reciprocal. I swore I'd never take another bar after taking CA - and now I have to take another exam if we move. I worked in big law in CA for two years and get no credit! Yet the exam has been waived for new grads for COVID. It sure limits our move.

I’m interested in taking on a Pro Bono case through a nonprofit org, so should I disclose that I’m taking the case to my current employer (in house)? The case has no overlap with the field my company is in and I’ll be doing the work off the clock.

Advice for tackling a backlog of assignments? Been absolutely swamped and the list gets longer every day. Have had active deals to prioritize and the partners understand but there is now a spreadsheet full of things I owe that are growing urgent and I need to refocus my efforts intelligently.
