Something that severely gets into my nerves :

I advise clients on tech and sometimes help them debug stuff. This client told me they tested the solutions I gave and that it didn’t work, and requested a meeting to sort it off. We schedule a meeting. I just inspected their account and they haven’t tested shit, I can see the same code mistakes, they never tried to change anything.

I’m pissed. They’re basically wasting my time and I don’t even see the point in meeting with them.

Advice?

Curious what the current Employee Referral Bonuses look like in B4 firms? As a smaller firm, our people are being inundated by recruiters, but also staff/seniors from B4 firms looking to poach, I assume because there is significant financial incentive. How good are the referral bonuses at your firm?

Any advice on transitioning out of law to anything else that pays around the same (180+)? I’m 3 years out of law school. 1.5 at a small law firm and 1.5 big law. M&A practice group. Too soon to go in house? I hate billable hours and have no life working 2100 hours a year.

Average billables for Foley and Lardner?

Just started my first job at a mid size firm. Still awaiting bar results. The firm practices general civil lit - mainly defense (ID, prem liability, labor law, tort defense etc.) but some partners do plaintiff’s work too. So far they’ve had me working mainly on ID cases. I never knew people hate ID so much until I came on this app. Is it really that bad? Pay isn’t great but expecting a bump upon admission. Advice ?

Let’s talk about biglaw annual evaluations. EVERY 1st year associate I spoke to said they got stellar evaluations. (I promised I only asked close colleagues and in a non-gunner way). Is it normal for every 1st year to get great evaluations? Do evaluations only become serious/critical as a midlevel?

Any attorneys here practicing or have experience in Delaware? Considering moving there for an opportunity with a small Delaware firm in their litigation department. They seem very white shoe, not very diverse, and do not seem to have many women. Is it a mistake to move to Delaware and to a small localized firm? A lot of judges seem to come from the firm.
Any experience with Delaware lawyers or firms? Anything to watch out for or red flags?

Fellow Members of the Tribe: what is your out of office email for Yom Kippur and how stringent are you about (not) checking your phone/emails?

I was working with a partner on drafting a brief, who hated the way I wrote it, made me drastically change everything, increase the word count and spill my blood, sweat, and tears for months into editing it. Just before filing a different partner took a hand at cutting it down because it was too long - and he edited the brief back to the way I wrote it originally 🤦🏽‍♀️ Sometimes this job is an absolute joke.

Decision - I was out the door of my nationwide ins dfense firm. Was going to top local firm with a lot more clout where everything would be private pay and I’d be more on bigger exposure cases. However, my firm outmatched the new firm, made a much better bonus structure, and said I could do more work with their complex bus lit group. I’d still likely do about 50 percent ins defense but I really like the partners I work for, and I handle own cases/take depos, and get autonomy. Am I right to stay?

I took the UBE this past July for a second state. I didn’t think it was that hard. While a Freind of mine who’s 100x smarter than me thought she failed it. I’m starting to wonder if I under thought it.

Looking for some honest opinions on a career in law: I have always wanted to be an attorney but I got married young and went the entrepreneur route as a software developer. However, now that I’m in my 30’s, I’ve started the last year of my undergrad and I’m strongly considering law school.

For those of you in the field, what would you tell someone in my position? Would you recommend law school? Would you do it again? Would you discourage it?

This may not be the right forum for this question, but what are actual legitimate reasons for wanting the option to buy an AR15 without restrictions? It can't be tradition, hunting, or sport, so what? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just curious. I live in a bubble where I don't interact with alot of people of different viewpoints, let alone know any gun owners. Is it just because you can?
