Question for ppl (esp midlevels) who lateraled: did anyone ever get a substantive legal question or a case study on their interview? Any tough/unexpected questions?

I already got a job offer in Singapore and had submitted all the docs required to HR. My question would be how long is the EP's processing time? And what are the chances to have my EP application rejected? I have 4 years of experience at my current firm, is that too little?

Can anyone share salary range advice for a Talent Sourcer/Senior Talent Sourcer please. Looking at entering interviews for Atlassian and Adobe but want to sure the compensation level is worth it before investing the time and would like to understand the market so I don’t undersell myself if I do go ahead.

How long does it take post the technical interview rounds to hear back from the recruiter?

Recently started going through the interview process. I ended up going through 2 interviews in about a week. After the first interview I heard back the following day saying that they wanted to meet for a second one. It’s been about 4 days now since the second interview, which felt like it went great, and still haven’t heard anything. Am I being impatient or should I have heard back by now? I already sent a thank you message after the second interview, should I try to follow up again?

Hello fishes,

Thanks.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $350k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

Hi Team,

I joined Mindtree on 8th Feb and not got project and I was waiting for last 2 and half month. So, i gave interview outside (tech mahindra) and got selected. Almost 30-35% they said they will give and i am negotiating on it.

Shall i switch to tech Mahindra?

Hey All...

I am planning to change my profession from fixed asset accounting to Business Analyst...

Is this wise decision?!!!

I have got confirmation from CBA that I am selected and all the documents are submitted. On the website, my application status is showing as an offer. When can I expect the release of an offer letter. HR told me 3 days back he will be sending it by the EOD or next day but he is not responding after that..

What’s the thought that keeps you from giving up?

Hello fish, I’m wanting to move from London to Singapore at Manager level in operating model design. Anybody have any recommendations of companies (aside Big4) that are sponsoring visas at the moment, or good international recruitment agencies? Seems highly network driven from what I’ve seen.

What would you all say are the best consulting firms to work at in the federal government space? I’m not sure how many “prestigious” firms (like MBB) have a significant federal practice at all.

Welcome, folks! What's on your mind?

Anyone in Mindtree working on SAP Hybris?

Is it true that people joining for Oracle practice at PWC AC Bangalore are on bench due to shortage of projects right now ?

For folks who have applied for AP/EAD, how long did it take for you to receive it?

Best thrift store in DC area? Please don't mention the one in Falls Church. It's horrible.

We're discussing the company holiday plan and it looks like my manager is going to pressure me to work on Thanksgiving this year. Late-stage capitalist america, now without holidays!

I'm learning to make virtual escape rooms! It's so much easier than I expected. (Thank you Google and YouTube!)

Anyone ever asked for a sign on bonus in the form of vacation days - so you don’t have to wait like 6 months in order to take 2weeks? Or ask for reduced pay at first to accelerate the accrual?

Can someone remind me what it's like to be in public and not in busy season? My brain can't go back 9 months

Can you name a firm (preferably NY office) that lets its associates work from a different country with no issues? The mid-size firm I’m currently at has been very flexible during covid but I’m looking to change firm (biglaw). Since my family is abroad I find it extremely valuable to be able to do this (I did this even before covid for a couple of weeks, twice a year). I’ve heard firms like Latham and Paul Weiss don’t allow it for tax reasons.

Thoughts on recruiter responsiveness? How long do you wait to engage a different recruiter?

What monetary goal/target are you telling yourself to hit before quitting big law?

Boston biglaw associates, do you pay for monthly parking and drive into the office? Or do you still ride the T?

I had a bad week and had to take a last minute week off - when I returned to work the mid-level I was assisting was all smiley and seemed full of care, but now I find out that she’s frozen me off all email chains on the transaction altogether. What should I do? Totally at a loss here

Why do firms fire people with low but still profitable hours? I am in my first full year on track for pretty low hours (~1500) but the actual realized fees (after writedowns) are still double my yearly salary. Is it because firms know they could replace someone like me with an equivalent attorney who would bill more?

At my law firm, only senior associates and partners go to court and take depositions. Is this normal for a big/vault law firm?

Anyone change practice areas after 10+ years of practicing? Thoughts? Suggestions? Advice?

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?

I keep making stupid minor mistakes at work lately presumely cause I’ve been so burnt out, and my senior is constantly mad at me, which made me want to avoid the dirty work even more… I really should care but is it bad that I don’t really care anymore

My goal is to save 300k by end of 3rd year. HCOL. Do you think I can do it? Or maybe 5th year?

Anyone else in the “here for a good time not a long time” club? This job gets a lot more tolerable when you don’t actually need it (no intention to make partner, no loans, etc.). I generally do good work, but I’m happy being a B associate, I don’t dwell on small mistakes or what partners think of me, I take my vacations and never overwork myself to “look good”. All this to say, you don’t need to be an A+ associate to stay employed. Try being a B associate, it’s a lot more fun.

Partners - what was the most stressful year of your career? The year before you made partner? Your first year of partnership? The year(s) you or your partner gave birth?

Moving from government to BigLaw as a 6th year. Since I'm coming in as a mid-level, I feel like this transition is different than a junior whom partners expect to know little. Any advice?

Anyone know salary expectations at Clyde & Co in Miami? I’m a second year.

How would you define great communication?

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly? One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

Anyone at Fried Frank know what day bonuses are usually paid on?
