Sunday 4/26 FYIsland thread! Tbh idk if I need to keep doing this, seems like people are figuring out where to go for what on their own 🤷🏻‍♀️

Doing documentation is the the adult version of Mad Libs

Pro tip I wish I received: when lateraling back up your phone before leaving so you don’t lose it’s contents when your previous firm remote-factory resets the device.

Market research - can anyone in Philly share their firm name, salary, and year?

2020 grad M&A/PE Associate in LCOL area thinking about moving to a ECVC/M&A boutique. I generally like the work I do and the people I work with, but I really don’t like the hours and the constant late nights and weekends. Currently on pace for 2250. Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?

What would you say is the difference between a billable hour target vs. minimum? I feel like some firms boast about not having a “minimum” but the expectation is that you to exceed this target which just makes it a minimum.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Looking for suggestions on stocks to invest for beginners? Any suggestions on YouTube channels or articles/people to follow to read and stay updated on these things?

A former coworker wants to trade work: a logo design for her consulting co. in exchange for networking help. What’s your reaction? (We are both starting our own biz.)

Hello Guys,
How much appraisal hike you all have got in this cycle?
In my case they provided very less hike of 3% and I have done so much work.

I have mostly passive investments. I was thinking the other day: what if everyone had only passive investments? Wouldn’t this create incredibly high amount of systemic risk? Are we all sheep??

How much does Nagarro offer for staff engineer?
YOE - 7.9
Tech - QA manual/Automation
CCTC - 11.5

Why do we put up with the dysfunctional BS from our peers and superiors? Are we well-compensated chumps?

What are typical PM title structures? I know they are a bit different everywhere. I’m building a team from the ground up and am curious what other agencies and in house teams look like. Thanks!

My Associate stint is ending next year, and I need to start thinking about my next move. What’s the right comp I should be targeting with 4 YoE (2 in VC, 2 in consulting), in unicorns vs PE vs CVC?

Current TC is roughly 175-300k (carry is complicated and variable) in MCOL.

Anyone loving their firm and HC practice? If so, which firm (and industry) are you in?

Is paralegal burn-out a thing? And if it is, how do you overcome it?

Turnips are 132 for me

Time to go SWIMMING !!!

Shooting stars tonight at my island! Will post a dodo code tonight

Describe your island flag. Mine is the Salad Cat meme. 😻

Anyone have a Southern Hemisphere Island that you’d let someone come to purchase items at your stores and do some fishing?

Anybody got decent turnip prices today? I care more about my investments in turnips than my actual stock portfolio 😤

I just found out we can swim!! Lol 3 months later.... 😹😹😹

Sunday 4/19 FYIsland thread! Comment if you want visitors or want to explore new islands.

Hi guys the one fossil I’m missing is the Archelon skull! Please let me know if you have an extra and we can work out a fair exchange. Thanks :)

M927H will be on for the next 50 minutes until Nook closes. Have some extra recipes in front of cranny but mostly just opening for people to come visit. If you have an extra archelon skull...I’ll pay

Question since I’m newer to the game.

If I set my island up in the northern hemisphere, and then went to an island in the southern, would I catch different fish/insects? Does anyone know?

How’s it going fellow animal crossing friends

Anyone with good turnip price? Mine’s been in 70s all week....

My best friend has Celeste!

Slow meteor shower + Celeste + Free DIYs along beach!

Dodo code: MK9FQ

Island will be open for the next hour or so.

Anyone playing and need fruit, wood, or eggs? Missing oranges and cherries but can help you with others + bamboo.

Where are my fellow less-advanced islanders? I feel like I play a lot (~1hr/day) but wow reading what everyone else is doing I realize I’m slow in comparison!
