Thank you Gerry!

Hey all- posting about some new NFTs that are just coming out for the Dream DAO. Essentially, each minted NFT and subsequent sale helps seed fund projects for a non profit for Gen Zers called Civics Unplugged. The non profit is backed by Andrew Yang, the Rock and others. Regardless of if you like the NFTs, it’s a cool project to get involved in / read more about. https://opensea.io/collection/skywalkerz
Anyone looking for a remote data analyst ?

PH sucks, don’t come here. A lot of my good friend coworkers left the firm. The firm tries to rival Kirkland and has gone down hill ever since
2k. 100hrs (max) of that can be pro bono. PH also tracks your “time lag,” which is the delay between when you billed time and when you closed that time. If your cumulative lag is over 4 at the end of the year, your bonus will be reduced by some percentage. If it’s above a certain threshold (idk what it is, but it’s explicitly stated in firm policies) you get no bonus at all.
My firm does this, too, but our limit is 2.5 days (it averages out to doing your time by the end of the week, every week).
do not go to ph in a big market if you have other options. it’s a terrible firm. they don’t care about associates at all and it’s completely antisocial. only worth it in smaller markets where you have limited big law options and LCOL.
I’ve heard it’s toxic across the board at all levels of PH. Had a friend who interviewed there and even the HR recruiter seemed like a jerk setting up interviews. My friend didn’t get an offer, so maybe some sour grapes, but they gave no reason/insight despite several rounds - he was warned by reputable recruiters who won’t work with them. They’ve actually made news about how bad it is for associates and business services. Google it.
Used to be 1950, and then they changed it to 2000… in late September of the relevant bonus year. Stay classy PH.
Really? Every other firm dropped and they raised? Classy.
