So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

Hey- anyone been in the position where their seeing someone, but you’re not dating ? I’m seeing someone and he went on vacation without me and I’m sure he met some girls - he even admitted it but said

Reminder to everyone: use your 2021 vacation time. Don’t let it pass you by just because you’re not traveling. Take a long weekend once a month to nap and eat chips in sweat pants all day. We all need to do our part to normalize self care, and sitting at home doing “nothing” is just as worthy of a vacation day as pina coladas on the beach.

Ate so poorly on vacation im scared to weigh myself 😣

Is this a good deal or not. $93,600/year” “BENEFITS “ medical, dental, vision(30%60%90% after CYD) 80hrs vacation time after 1year of employment, it cannot be carried over year to year, nor will it be paid for it upon termination same for sick time which will be granted after 90 days of employment. Max 240 hours. Paid for the 6 holidays but if happen to work holidays will get paid 8 hrs for another day off during the same pay period. No 401k

Anyone frustrated by needing to take vacation days off for Jewish holidays?

What is your title and how much vacation do you get?

Can my vacation home be 45 minutes away if it’s at the beach? Or does that look suspicious? I want to get in for 10% down and lower rate than an investment home

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

Favorite vacation spot ?

Hi all - I’m the head of the project management department at my agency. I’ve been here almost two years and want to move from my cube to a vacant office but need to convince my superiors. Any advice?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Anyone else having a very slow start to February?

Purpose of a W-9 on an acquisition? Who should be filling them out?

Working on a deal where buyer's side keeps on insisting on a POA to effectuate all actions of Seller under the agreement, including executing documents. I keep striking this and commenting that this is not standard. Has anyone dealt with this? I am okay with a limited POA based on the industry of the Seller, but not this general POA.

As the indemnified party, do you exclude Indemnity obligations from the LoL cap?

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Does anyone have insights into corporate group at Saul Ewing? Culture, pay etc.?

Does anyone have experience working for a ALSP? How does compensation work (pay and benefits)? Are you an employee or technically an IC? Do you have billable requirements like at a firm? How do you think it prepared you to potentially move in house? I'm currently at a firm but thinking of taking a position with an ALSP but my goal is to go in house.

Do any real estate lawyers out there know of/can direct me to a ROFO agreement to purchase commercial property? I’m working on one now (but using a ROFO to purchase equity interests as a basis) and would like to see what other people are doing. Finding a good one has been hard, as this kind of thing isn’t always required to be filed with the sec and every search I’ve done basically pulls up garbage. Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?

Why provide redlines against the original draft instead of the last turn when sending drafts to opposite counsel?! This profession makes no sense.

(First year if you can’t tell) if a contract has a date in the preamble and a separate effective date, which do you use for purposes of say scheduling contracts?

Are there State/federal (or other laws) that govern the closure of a store? The entity owns other stores and will not be dissolving. Just shutting down one of its stores.

Anyone here who started in a general corporate or commercial trans group that later transitioned to a more specialized group (M&A, funds, financing, etc.)? If so, what made you switch and are you happy with the change/what has your experience been like?

Any suggestions on resources for corporate contract drafting? I have been largely responsible for employment matters and basic contracts. Starting to work on buy/sell of goods and services; not huge but also not employment agreements. Looking for refreshers... been a while since law school and the bar. Thanks

I am behind the times and need your help: please share any resources you have on the tips/tricks/shortcuts/macros you use to make drafting in Microsoft Word a little bit easier.

Second year associate looking to switch into transactional practice for a few years.
Which transactional practices have the worst and best non-law exit options (strategy, ops)? I understand M&A is the best, but how about debt finance? Fund finance? Aircraft finance? Thank you!

Has anyone here worked for United Wholesale Mortgage? The reviews on Indeed paint the company in a bad light. I would like to know if it’s worth it…

How do NYC big law real estate groups hold up during recessions? Are they one of the harder hit corporate groups or is there more stability?

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay? The gap will never be closed to the top pay scale at my firm but when I decided to come to this firm the pay difference was about 15 percent and not 30. Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave

For folks looking for new roles (either actively or passively), where are you looking? What sites, apps, etc. (I'm interested in hearing about option *other* than recruiters.)
