Recently got an offer to lateral. I have problems at my firm (including the fact that I won’t be promoted to counsel for probably 4/5 years even though I’m a senior), but I truly love the group of people I work with. Once I got the offer, I started thinking about staying. I’ve lateraled before and have never had cold feet like this. Has anyone gone through this? There are very real reasons I want to leave but should I stay?

Who knew interviews are a whole different process on its own. Very exhausting, answering lots of questions and thinking. I’m completely done with 2022 interviews. These interviews are just mhmmmm.

What should a Cna/mht expected hourly pay/ yearly salary with 5 years experience in Delaware

I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range. That caused me to receive a much lower salary than expected. Should I renegotiate even when my manager said that she tried giving me more. Does HR really play that big of a role in this?

Do you have to return a sign on bonus if you leave after a year? Never had one before, so I am not sure.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.

Just got engaged and I want to get my fiancé a watch. He has an Explorer II and a Date-just. My budgets is ~$3000. I don’t really know anything about watches. Help!

I’ve seen lots of posts from people saying that they tested positive for Covid. Has anyone on here been hospitalized for it? Genuinely curious about when you realized you should go to the hospital or when you realized it was getting more serious.

Is it possible or even allowed to take a leave of absence to focus on getting the CPA exams done?

Anyone get to the end of the week and see the amount of hours you billed and think “what did I actually do all that time”? Idk maybe I have bad memory.

Are tech trans hours better/more predictable than M&A?

How do you bill your time? The busier I am the harder it is to bill. How do people actually bill contemporaneously in detailed terms when you bill 12 hours but literally did 100 different things in those 12 hours. And it’s never slow enough to go back and do it super detailed.

What are the unwritten rules of your group/office/firm?

Anyone worried about firms over-hiring? Our firm has hired a LOT of people. I know we need it now / the past year, but will this bubble pop?

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).

Is it possible to transition from antitrust litigation to general litigation?

Thoughts on Twitter hiring Wachtell for the Elon litigation? I don’t think of Wachtell as being my first call for big litigation matters.

Hopefully my last post in this bowl as I accepted an in-house offer today and gave notice. It was my first and only application and only took a month! Thanks yall for keeping me sane the last few years ❤️

Do you give the office manager (who does assist you with admin tasks from time to time) a christmas present (aka cash)? I have an admin assistant so that's an obvious yes but I don't know how to handle the office manager or receptionist!

Paralegals: what’s your least favorite thing about working with attorneys?

Is an offer after only a first screener a red flag?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

Does anyone know what the onboarding process is like at K&L Gates? I start in a few weeks and I'm curious.

Mid-level when she's leading the call: please make sure you take notes. It's expected of the person not leading a call (note I always take notes)

Me(jr): asked to lead a call for a different deal as training. Mid-level doesn't take notes (also on call) and tells me it's the job if the junior to take notes.

What can a junior associate do about a mid-level that constantly asks questions about things they were cc’d on, sends dozens of piecemeal emails and is generally just super high strung and needs everything right away?? No other mid-levels I’ve worked with act this way and this individual I’m working with is driving me insane and I’ve spent countless hours attaching emails and saying “as explained in the attached email…”

Did any associates take paternity leave last year? How did it effect your bonus if you beat your "reduced" goal but didn't meet the original goal?

Any news from DPW? 🤔🤔

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Obviously many of us get paid very well and there is an expectation with work demands for being paid that high. But what’s too much? How do you set a limit to preserve your mental health? I find myself guilty for taking time to decompress but I know I come back to work refocused after I do it.

What does it mean if there’s a NEP at the firm who’s been there for a long time (20+ years), but never got promoted to EP? Never held leadership roles too. Does it usually mean EPs does not like the NEP enough to get promoted?

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.
