Curious, how many of you give your teams holiday gifts?

Might be a long shot, but wanted to see if this bowl could share any wisdom/insight. A friend has been offered a role as an independent contractor commercial counsel for a pre IPO tech company in NYC (roughly 10-20 hrs/wk) with the possibility of becoming a full time offer. He has roughly 3 yoe and was at a V10 firm doing tech transactions work but took time off for health. Would appreciate any insights into what a reasonable hourly wage would be to offer up in negotiations. Thanks in advance!

Do you think we will be able travel by Christmas for a vacation?

Why does Deloitte penalize its employees for paid time off? Is it fair that the denominator of our utilization doesn't account for PTO?

Has anyone in partner ranks been able to take an actual, fully disconnected vacation of at least a full work week in the last 18 months? Genuinely curious.

What is better: hedge fund or tech? (comp, hours, pto, team, growth, etc)

11 hrs on a workday can expense dinner but 4 hrs on a weekend or holiday can expense lunch. Am I supposed to be working 7 hrs every workday or 1-2 hrs every weekend 🤔

Just got my offer, looked at the fine print and saw they tried to sneak in only 10 vaca a yr and when I start I will be entitled to 7. What's the average vacation time? Feel like I'm getting lowballed

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons? Some of my coworkers stay in their desks for up to 10 hours, but I've taken up the habit of blocking at least 1 hour daily for lunch, breaks, and other issues that may arise. Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Have folks been able to take vacation lately? I feel like work is nonstop and “unlimited” vacation is basically meaningless. Hard just to take a few days off work, let alone to have an actual 1-2 weeks break from work.

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

Hi! Would love to receive some input from fellow professionals. I recently received two job offers:

1. Marketing Specialist $60K + $3K sign on bonus, amazing company benefits, flex time off, remote position, great people thus far (starting was $55K for this role) TX

2. Marketing Specialist $67.5K with above average company benefits, accrued hours, in office 3x week, so far people seem nice (starting was $65K) IL

I love the idea of more money but is that always the way to go?? Help please!

To experienced attorneys at large employers, has anyone tried starting a small side practice in a different area of law (wills & trusts, for example) and succeeded in building it out over time? Notwithstanding my present employer being happy/okay with this, curious as to the feasibility when I have no real experience in the practice area.
Would like a separate law-related side hustle to potentially build into my full time work down the road. Thanks.

Is buy diverse every paycheck and forget the best strategy? I tried my hand at active investment had some success and some failures but overall realized its not matching my style as I am no expert. Thinking of investing consistently in leveraged funds + some growth stocks consistently ignoring the price and if I see a massive red buy some more in bulk. Lemme know.

Do you have to trade in your existing phone when upgrading to a new phone through PwC emobility?

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

I stayed at my gig because I thought it would be unprofessional to leave for a hotter shop. Do you agree?
