Saw a post asking about Fried Frank on Reddit yesterday. Someone mentioned that it isn’t the firm it used to be, and another mentioned that they think it’s a firm that will need to merge with another. Curious if the reputation of the firm is that bad. People on Reddit made it seem like it’s a Shearman or Cadwalader. I thought that even though M&A is struggling there the Funds and Real Estate practices are still very strong.

Looking for APICS CSCP study material. Anybody looking to part or share - let's work out a price.

How do I measure what I'm "worth" in the market? I know YOE play a role, but I don't know how to measure based on perf or whatnot. What makes one person worth more than another for the same role?

Any tips, tricks for GMAT and using Magoosh effectively? I’m a month-ish out of test day, and using Magoosh... my practice test says 660 (although I did much higher on GMAT math than Magoosh math).

Does Perkins Coie pay market salary/bonus? Are both lockstep? Any idea if they’ll hire fully remote?

Which Big Law firms in San Francisco/Bay Area have good L&E groups? Good as in legitimate group and not some group that claims to do the work but really just writes blog posts and answers some advice and counsel questions. Amongst those, any intel on culture, WLB, etc.?

Does anyone here know any good recruiters for Boston? Not looking to move, but want some intel (and feel awkward reaching out to the recruiter who placed me here).

I worked at my first firm between 2015 and Dec 2017, when I was let go. I didn’t get website time, but they did give me a recommendation and helped me land a job at a peer firm very early in 2018. Yet recruiters keep asking about this 3 month gap in interviews…

A friend was told their firm will cut ties EOY if certain things don’t improve. Friend had planned to quit in the next year anyway (to start their own business), so there is no real incentive to bend over backwards. Friend’s goal is to keep the income for a little longer, but to minimize conflict / headaches. What’s the best move here? Wait until EOY and take the severance? Give 6 / 9 / 12 months’ notice now? Is there such a thing as too much notice? Could too much notice backfire?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Need suggestions for good recruiters for tax positions in the the west coast (specifically SF/Seattle)

When, if ever, do you add “Esq.” to your name outside of work?

I’m currently in a minor dispute with a company over a credit card overcharge and am wondering if I should have added “Esq.” to my signature in my complaint email lol.

Wondering what does a class of 2019 ip litigation lateral offer look like these days? Guaranteed year end end signing bonus? Anything else? Mainly curious about Southern California but all data points would be helpful

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?

A young male partner told me that I should wear heels to work. I don’t cause they hurt and told him that. He then replied “beauty is pain honey”. What a day.

Arguing my first motion to dismiss in a couple weeks. Any and all advice welcome. This will be my first time arguing anything. Thank you!

Did you make a mistake working in BigLaw? Why?

3rd year associate. Former fed law clerk. Working at ID firm. Doing slip and falls and wrecks. Recently received big law offer to do products. Really want to go. Gave notice to current firm. Current firm really wants me to stay, counters that it will try to get me salary as close to big law offer and give me complex work. Stay at ID firm or accept big law offer?

How long do you think one could coast billing between 1700 and 1800 hours? Assuming your work is quality and people generally like you (which feedback so far indicates is the case).

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

Do you have to give notice on a Friday? Why not whenever you’re able to give notice?

I live in downtown Seattle and a client just closed an email to me with “Hope you’re having a great weekend!” Um, what?

Does anyone have experience or thoughts about life after big law (whatever that means)? I'm a third year tax associate and seriously worrying whether I've chosen a practice area that is too "niche" to find something after. Do I even want to practice law? Do I just need a vacation?? Any and all insights are welcome!

Worst luck ever. My group was very slow from Jan through may, so I won’t hit my hours, but am now (and will continue to be) very busy…. About to do 1990 hrs the most painful way possible. Fml.
