Hey Fishes, I feel the RTO policy in not getting enforced rather it is getting imposed it seems (in ZS across offices). Suddenly from being employee centric they have shifted their focus to ZS culture and values. Let the thoughts pour in!

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

Just signed an offer and moving to Chicago in about a month. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone there. Any best practices for finding roommates?

If you are approached for copy position with a company called LadyBoss... RUN! I don’t know racket they’re running but they set up a video conf with a bunch of copywriters interviewing simultaneously.

Another Greenberg Traurig post...anyone know what their current WFH policy is?

I’m a third year in corporate and want to switch to tax. Am I too late? How do I ask my firm?

Would love to hear thoughts on this one. Asking your firm to make sure the hotels at retreats stock quality 0.0 beer or other sober-curious-friendly options. Super progressive or super needy?

Dropped off my kids to school this morning and just felt unsettled. It’s so hard to concentrate on work today.

Is it a fail of character leaving biglaw? I want to leave, but despite the constant stress and suffering, I can’t avoid feeling like it’s my fault or that maybe I’m over exaggerating how I feel. All my colleagues feel ridiculously happy, I’m the grinch one that’s never enjoying the grind (but the grind is hard and competitive, very competitive) :( any thoughts? Is there future after quitting biglaw so young?

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

All this talk about firms doing stealth layoffs has me spooked. Any BigLaw firms in Dallas doing this? I’ve noticed some surprising associates leave my firm over the past couple of months and suspect at least some of them were ice-outs…

Putting aside wachtell, what do we think are the best M&A shops for high value deals?

Can I quit a job I started Monday? Lmao

Biglaw first year associates, what’s your favorite thing about your job (beside the paychecks)?

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

Any idea why certain of the larger biglaw firms do not allow descriptive associate website bios unlike the more middle v100 firms?

Any insight on Hunton Andrews Kurth Real Estate practice group? Work life balance, type of people in the group etc. Anything at all would be helpful!

In big law going on 6 years and I’ve always met my hours, but lately, cannot get enough work to keep busy. It’s been slow for some time, but I didn’t notice because I was working on matters in other offices. Is it time to move on? Are people really going to be laid off for not hitting hrs?

How long did your longest matter last? I imagine litigators take the cake here but curious about deals as well.

What’s big law like in San Francisco? Anyone have any insights to firm cultures or billable targets?

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

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

Housecleaning services?
I’m in midtown west and need a new housecleaner. Looking to pay $100/cleaning. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who is trustworthy and reliable? I would also need them to do laundry (laundry is one floor above and below me - every other floor in my building).

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!
