Tech/IP specialist at a V20 with engineering background. Most of my work supports M&A (diligence, memos, PA markups), with some commercial exposure. I often hear criticism about “deal support” but I don’t mind the work. Trying to pressure-test the long-term path: If I spend the next several years doing primarily deal-focused tech/IP work, am I limiting my in-house or commercial exit options? Is reliance on corporate-sourced work a real risk, or just how these practices function?

Which company is good to join ?

BREAKING: Kevin Hart To Appear In Just 17 Super Bowl Spots This Year

how can i get hearts on this

Anyone with experience with the snoo and any feedback on it? Have a friend that offered to let me borrow hers, so no cost considerations to think about, but have read that it could cause a flat head/other issues and just curious as to what experiences people have actually had with it. Thanks!

I did not got alumini portal access after 3 days of lwd .. is it normal and should i wait ?

Just took a walk through my very hard-hit neighborhood in Brooklyn and am a little baffled by the people upset by the “lockdown.” (Cont’d)

AMZN buy more or hold?

Which firms focus on customer experience strategy and more marketing, product, market expansion focused projects? To some degree to all firms have this focus?

Hello,
Hope you're doing well!
I need referance for position of business analyst ( job id - 167210) @ Amdocs it will be very helpful for me if u refer me.
Kindly consider it

How do you deal with a boss that wants you to quit and is becoming increasingly more abusive. But you haven’t found a job yet and need this job financially.

Your thoughts on iPhone 12 Pro Max camera system?

Insight on Kirkland & Ellis?

I'm up for election next year. Kind of feel like I'm in Squid Game right now.

I've signed on to this, I'm really close to the end, but at a certain point I feel like I just want to check out of the game (and go in-house or something).

Just a thought to anyone considering doing a hand markup: if I'm going to need some Indiana Jones-esque ancient decoder shit to read the hieroglyphics that you call "hand writing", maybe just make comments in track changes instead.

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Dear first years,

When my door is closed, I am in the middle of something and trying to focus. Please stop knocking and letting yourself in to chat. I want to help you, I really do, but if my door is closed it means I am not able to help you right this second. I promise that my door will be open when I am available to do so.

Signed,
An overwhelmed second year

Edit: any advice on how to say this IRL without crushing their spirits?

What’s a good way to assess the health of a practice group (e.g. bench strength and that they’ll be enough work to go around)?

Anyone else getting spammed for "law firm in house/gc's office" roles and know what the deal is with that? Not really looking to do it but curiosity

Shoutout to the partners who set firm, clear boundaries with clients about timelines so that I, a junior, don't have to work like everything is an emergency.

You the real mvps. 🫡

Is the lateral market still hot? Any of you interviewing/ lateralling soon?

Any corp associates looking to move from biglaw to a boutique? My firm remains busy and is looking to bring on a couple associates. We’re all either hybrid or fully remote, and that’s here to stay. 1500 billables and we’re serious about it. Work is primarily ECVC, Outside GC, M&A. Pay is roughly 30% biglaw haircut, with incentive bonuses for hours and originations.

Do any single M&A associates have dogs? I am a third year at a generally work from home flexible firm and considering getting a dog for mental and physical health reasons. Has having a dog been an issue with work? And any tips for bringing a dog home while working insane hours with occasional trips to the office?

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

Help! I was headed to the 7th Circle of Hell but took a wrong turn and ended up at Cadwalader! Can anyone tell me how I make it back? I can't stand it here!

Curious - would you consider a lateral move to a lower ranked firm if the practice group is higher ranked than at your current firm? In other words what’s more important - firm or practice group ranking?

Are we allowed to dish on how ineffective recruiters are? I’d really like to Yelp bomb a specific recruiter for being so ineffectual, unresponsive, negligent, and ghosting

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

Did your firm’s leadership send a message re the horrific shooting? Before I lateraled we always got emails from leadership, which IMO were very humanizing and appreciated. New firm leadership seems to just avoid — probably to not appear politically involved. Your thoughts on these types of current events and firm acknowledgment?

Do you remember when “office closed due to inclement weather” meant you had an easy day at home because remote wasn’t a thing yet? Now with a foot of snow coming, office closed means wfh with no backup childcare available….

What’s next on your expensive wishlist to make this job a little more comforting?

I’m an associate in a busy bankruptcy group (just started after a clerkship) and I’ve started to have to to turn down work because I’m too busy (I don’t tell partners no, but say something along the lines of “I don’t think I’d be able to start on that for a day or two”). How much is too much for saying no to work? This week I’ve been billing like 10hrs a day and worked late 3 nights
