I’m a corporate first year doing mostly doc review / diligence. I understand that this is the norm, but I don’t feel like I’m growing at all. What steps can I take to ensure that I learn marketable skills / knowledge?

Biglaw 8th year associates - what was your all in comp last year? Trying to assess whether I make close to market and special bonuses are throwing me off.

I have availability but want to set some boundaries. This partner always comes to me when they need non billable i.e pro bono or business development work done. I’m a non white female, if that matters. Am i being overly sensitive?

What’s the word on Sidley NY M&A? Hearing a number of foreign associates so may be good for a local lateral?

Mid level here. What to do about senior associates who hog work, despite your multiple offers to help? And partner is MIA and just wants to get the job done..

Is Cooley a sweatshop?

I’m considering a lateral move. New firm is offering a full bonus for pro-rated hours, which is nice but I doubt I’ll hit hours due to HR/admin onboarding work, ramp up, coming on in the middle of deals, etc. Any chance I can negotiate for a guaranteed bonus regardless of hours or is that unreasonable? I don’t want to annoy the new firm but I want to at least be made whole.

Law schools in Toronto - I am currently working as a Senior Auditor at EY & finished my CPA modules in less than 12 months & successfully passed CFE, September 2021 (Fasttrack) while working full time. I am really interested in getting into a top law school here in Toronto but unfortunately I had a low CGPA (3.15) from undergrad due to some unfortunate incident, mostly impacted my grades. I strongly feel i can score 170+ on LSAT; question DO I EVEN STAND A CHANCE TO GET INTO ANY LAW SCHOOL

So what’s the deal with Cravath? Any updates on salary?

What v50 firms do you think will not match?

Ladies in BL - how much do you spend on clothes/shoes every month?

Got called out by a fellow associate for not “pulling my weight” on a deal when I’ve been drowning and billed 250 this month (buried in other deals) relative to their 160. 🤪

Associate at a regional big law firm in area where market has been impacted significantly by the recent salary bumps other firms have given to their associates in smaller offices. Our firm announced last week they would be providing market bumps for all associates but that only those associates who were “on pace” to bill their hours for the year by June 30 would qualify for the bump. Am I justified in feeling like this is completely ridiculous?

Partners/counsels: have you been able to tell if your associate is not handling the whole WFH situation well?

For those who work in black box comp big law - how do your firms adjust when the market raises the typical scale? Do you get a bigger raise at reviews or do they do an adjustment eventually?

Is having an offer at another firm the only way to get a retention bonus? I’m still on pace for over 2900 hours for the year (5th yr in debt finance) and to be honest, a strong associate (currently enjoying life on 9 active matters...). I like my firm and my work, but I know I’m leaving money on the table by not looking elsewhere. Has anyone had success with these bonuses? While I’d gladly take a one month vacation over money at this point, I am trying to buy a house and extra money can’t hurt..

Any other remote first years incredibly lonely? I have friends and family (single) but can pretty much only see them during the weekends, which go by way too quickly. Not much of a life….

Can people who work high level clerkships (circuit courts, SCOTUS, etc) negotiate signing bonuses when starting big law?
