People always ask me if I am a transactional lawyer or a litigator and I feel weird when I tell them both. I work heavily in securities and part of what I do is securities offerings and the other part is enforcement defense, realistically they’re so intertwined but how would you explain that ?

Any Plaintiff 🐠 here use a record request service instead of doing it yourselves? (I’m based in Chicago, if that matters).

Hey fishes,

What is the salary for java full stack in bny mellon, pune for 4 years of experience?
Also how is the work life balance there?

I have issues “delegating” or simply assigning tasks, which as a Manager is a whole thing. Like I feel “bad” asking my people to do things that i know i can do but shouldn’t because it’s not up to me. When I assign a task i try to be super clear with instructions, give examples, help them get started…but I still feel bad. Idk. Anyone goes through this?

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Awesome bowl!! Ty

I have an offer of 25% hike upfront and some hike 6 months when probation period is over (this is agreed verbally but gut feeling says they will give it). My current company agrees to match the 25% hike only but with one year commitment or refund of increment. Work culture is good in current company. Any suggestions?

Ngl this crisis just affirmed my decision about not wanting to have kids. Serious props to the parents attempting to simultaneously bill and homeschool their kids.

I post in this Bowl as “Associate Attorney” only because I post in other Bowls where what “Associate” means would be completely unclear. I believe Walmart also employs “Associates.” Fair clarification or unnecessary flex?

What are some of the common pretenses used by supervisors that indicate tough conversations are to be had regarding an employee’s future with a firm? Thanks.

Given the massive supply chain issues right now, I’m trying to start my Christmas shopping early this year. Looking for ideas on good gifts for assistants - we’ve done blankets, candles, coffee/tea previous years (and we try to stay away from gift cards) so it feels like we’ve run out of options. All suggestions welcome!

My firm has a 9-year partnership track as of a year or two ago. It has grown quickly from 5 to 7 to 9 in the past 10 or so years. In the written document that sets out the criteria for partnership, it basically says that your billable hours need to go up every year. Our minimum is 1900. I’m wondering how normal this increasing billables requirement is? I am torn between thinking it’s sensible and thinking it’s another example of law firms treating associates like machines.

“My clients’ problems are not my problems.” Why is this so hard to wrap my head around?

When does the imposter syndrome go away? Or at least fade away enough so I’m not anxious 24/7.

Recruiters and other attorneys have been calling my work phone at the office asking if I’m interested in a position?? Isn’t that a no no?

Any leveraged finance associates? What is it about private equity work that interests you? Am considering a switch from general banking.

I left biglaw to go in-house and I somewhat regret it. The work is too routine and the internal business clients are rude, incompetent, or both. It’s been over a year. Will biglaw have me back?
