Sheppard Mullin thinking they’re a tech firm now?

I'm currently interviewing for a hardware internship (at a startup). I've had a phone interview, a 30 minute technical interview and now I have a 2-3 hour interview. Is it just me or does this seem a little excessive for an internship?

Hi, I’m interviewing for Laboratory supervisor positions at ARUP in the Salt Lake City, UT area. I have less than 2 years supervisor experience and I would like to negotiate if I get any offers. What are other people experiences/ salaries in same positions? Thanks!

FL tax questions: 1.) last year I had 4 longer w2 gigs. Should I get tax preparer or do myself? Seems easy enough but im new to this so 🤷🏻‍♀️. 2.) do you write-off travel/lodging for out of city gigs?

Hi team. Hope you all are well and safe.
I will be joining Accenture in two weeks, want to get some understanding on the current policy on remote work and return to office date if there is one.
I am currently in Seattle, WA, USA.
Thank you!

Is it possible to wfh after joining ? Can we bunch the 8 days of working together into one single week or so ?

I joined OPTUM today so how soon we can expect laptop and goodies.

I want to quit without a job lined up. My agency is a dumpster fire of incompetent project managers, revolving door of creatives and culture of not holding people accountable amidst a micromanaging gossipy leadership. I just want out. Tell me it is ok and will be alright.

For those who have done reverse engineering, what is the most intriguing object you've worked with?

Hi Fellow Producers. Thinking of going freelance and making myself available in LA, PDX and NYC. Does anyone know a fair and good daily rate for a Freelance Senior Content Producer in each city?

Private equity industry is one of the most powerful and least understood influences on the contemporary American economy.

Roll call. How much experience? Do you staff in a boutique? An agency? Freelance? If freelance, do you usually work in agency studios, prodcos...? Do you bring on a post producer to help on big jobs?

Are L&E firms raising salaries (Littler, Fisher, Ogletree, etc.)? What is starting compensation?

Struggling to get work at a free market firm after lateraling. I was very well liked at my prior firm and had high hours so really struggling to understand why folks don’t seem to want to come back to me with more work. For those at free market firms, how frequently do you have to ask for work? How do you typically ask? Just send partners emails asking if they have any deals for you? Thanks y’all.

Interviewing to crossover from plaintiff to defense work, wondering what a competitive salary offer would be from a firm in the V20-30 range, 5th year, antitrust practice. NY/DC scale. Thanks in advance

What responsibilities should a litigation associate have by their second year?

Kasowitz Benson - what is your opinion of them?

Thoughts on recording meetings. In Texas and have ADHD. I’ve been recording internal meetings for the past couple of weeks and my work product has improved exponentially. I’m able to go back and listen to the directions over again. In law school I had a note that gave me permission to do this. Is this taboo in a firm?

I wish I had even a tiny fraction of the energy I had when I first started this job

What is the average adoption assistance benefit at big law firms?

Do people proactively begin finding work when they know they may be low on work soon? Or do they just wait until they actually don’t have enough work to fill their days? Have a larger project that is winding down and my main case is slowing down a bit so I anticipate potentially needing to find more work soon, and I was unsure if that was something I needed to worry about.

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

Does anyone know the salary for a 3rd year junior associate at Squire Patton Boggs?

Anyone know the average associate hours billed at Gunderson?

From a vault ranking perspective, is it safe to assume V100 is all sweatshop big law? Reason I ask is because I want to lateral but not to a gunning big law firm — want to stay in big law but not at the ones at the top of the food chain like I am now. Want some sort of work life balance and wondering if the “lower ranked” big law firms offer this? Could just be my fantasy though…

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

What sort of work is considered corporate finance? This was referenced in a energy practice related interview and am not sure what sort of work that would entail.

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I often wish I could be like my law school friends who either moved to small towns or have public sector or non profit jobs, wear sweaters and jeans to work and make far less than me, but are happy with their lives, feel a sense of meaning with their work and don’t need external validation.

People who were lateraling without being on track for hours and seeking the year and bonus with the new firm, did the question of hours come up and how did you handle it during interviews to make sure you got the bonus from new firm?

Anyone else who works with nonprinting characters turned on ever open up a doc and wonder wtf the person who drafted it was doing? What is so hard about formatting?! 🤯

To the lender counsel that forgot to mention they needed original signature pages for a deal that closed early this year and decided to chase and harass me a day before thanksgiving and a day after thanksgiving multiple times. F*ck you. I don’t know what is driving your lack of courtesy but I have represented the same bank before and know their usual original signature requirement.

When do you switch from first-year to second-year at your firm in terms of salary - at the end of the firm’s fiscal year or January 1? For context, my firm’s fiscal year ends in November and the annual billing requirements restart then.
