Hi Fishes anyone here working in ADDA project

Best thrift store in DC area? Please don't mention the one in Falls Church. It's horrible.

Are there any ea roles hiring (mainly Chi but flex to elsewhere) with chill creatively minded environments? I am great at the work but can’t deal with the typical buttoned up seniority bootlicking LOL

Is it routine for Google to always ask for references after final round?

Ok.. who here has seen “Future Man” on Hulu? Gotta admit one of my top 20 of all time..

Worth leaving PE ops for Mck? Background: at a MM fund doing pe ops after 3 years at a t2, recently was hit up by a Mck recruiter for their post MBA role with a path to EM in 12 months. Am I crazy for even considering this?

How long do you think this M&A slowdown will last?

Hi guys how is sprinklr and paying scale for qa 2 yoe ?

Hi team. Happy to provide any referrals to McK if there is interest. I was later off at Deloitte 4 years ago and moved over. DM me :)

Had a horrible experience trying Via today for the first time; everything was great until my ride sharer got on and straight up verbally abused my driver saying out of this world racist things to him

What is a consultant II from protiviti equate to at a Big 4. Is that a good promotion from entry or a time table promotion ?

What's it like working with BCG in Dubai? Which service lines have the best people and which should be avoided?

Are there any good phone wallets that are secure to use and will work well with the upcoming hard fork? Someone mentioned mycelium? Or there are others in the AppStore.

When you tell your friends you do consulting, what's the most common response you get?

Mine is: so what the f**k do you actually do?

Has anyone worked at Cherry Bekaert accounting firm? Any insights in work culture in DC/MD/VA area, specially leadership? I am exploring options and wanted to see if this was a good fit. Thank you.

What is the best biglaw firm in Austin, TX?

Who is this Alexander Barnett guy in Florida? The FL Bar’s disciplinary action against him is beyond wild!

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?

Okay to renege on a lateral offer that I already accepted (prior to Covid-19 outbreak)? Anxiety is high moving in a time like this and now would rather stay put.

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!

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

Thoughts on debt finance vs. capital markets for lifestyle?

(1/7 3am) we're 147 hours into the new year and I've billed about 60 hours (40%) already. 2022 off to a strong start, y'all.

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.

Anyone ever register an expensive car in Montana under a LLC to avoid taxes?

How does one go about switching practice groups within the same firm? I was under the impression it’s better to lateral elsewhere but I do really like my firm, just not the work in this practice area. Want to switch from transactional to litigation.

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

Anyone else at a firm with a fiscal year starting November 1 in limbo with hours? I've hit my bonus hours but there's no way to hit the next bonus level in just a month so I'm just gonna give the firm like 180 free hours...

Looking to get out of a firm that does majority insurance defense and into BL commercial lit. Wondering if anyone has successfully done this as a first or second year, and if they have any advice on making the switch?

thoughts on clerking at the DE Chancery Court for an M&A associate?

Recent lateral (6ish months). On pace for 2000. Partners keep asking me if I’m liking the quality/type of work I’m getting and telling me to let them know if I feel overwhelmed by my (very manageable) workload. Am I crazy or do they think I’m going to leave for another firm or something six months in?

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