Sidley lawyers, how embarrassed are you right now? Sidley is being trashed and laughed at across the nation (and on ATL), I hope all good lawyers at sidley started accepting those recruiter calls that have dramatically picked up in the last 2 weeks (of course this doesn’t apply to the those near partnership).

Edit* so there seems to be a battle of misinformation on ATL with associates and partners/HR saying each other is lying about comp. For the firm to comment they must be very embarrassed.

Amazing what one disgruntled associate with multiple email addresses can trick a has-been website into “reporting.” The bonuses at Sidley are and always have been above market if you are even a slightly hard worker.

And Sidley paid it. In addition to the above market bonuses it always pays if you work.

Lol ATL didn't bat an eye when Latham also required qualifying hours for its special bonus.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…
