I am in year 22.I was moved again this year to a new 5-6 building with 1100. We have a brand new principal. Things are a mess academically and behaviors are frightening. I am close to quitting! Help!!

I know this is kind of low budge for some of the bags that have been posted lately, but I’m about to pull the trigger on the Saint Laurent Quilted Vintage Leather Camera bag in cream. Just a small everyday crossbody. Any thoughts?? Would love to hear feedback. Would love something bigger than this to throw more stuff in, but am really attracted to the design.

Does anyone feel there brain just dosent grasp things as quick as others

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t. I’ve been struggling with depression, loneliness, anxiety with immigration and the fact that I might be out of work soon cuz my visa is expiring. I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?

Long story short, I burned out. Anyone who recovered from deep, deep career setbacks or failures - share tips?

Thoughts on the Marcus Investment robo advisory rolled out by Goldman a few weeks ago? They charge low fees which is great, but I have a hard time seeing what makes it different than others.

5+ years of public accounting tax experience. CPA, MST and graduating law school soon. Plan on taking the bar. What are the best post-bar opportunities? Option to stay at my current firm (big four).

What's the best firm to work for in Dallas? Genuinely curious.

Thinking about lateraling to Dallas as a PE M&A third year associate from NYC. Which firm do larger deals? Public M&A? KE, Sidley, Gibson, or VE? Can you survive at any of the firms doing 2000 hours?

Has anyone tried to do the Rice online MBA while being a junior corporate associate? Does anyone think this is doable? I want an MBA because I eventually want to pivot from law but the opportunity cost right of completely leaving my position is too much.

Hey everyone, I promise not to hound anyone! I’m a Houston recruiter. Focus on associates in TX only. Law firm side - not in house. I have Big Law openings in real estate, M&A ( public and PE) with large signing bonuses, finance (rare opening with NYC firm in Houston), project development and exec comp. Open to relocation candidates. Check me out on LinkedIn as I post a ton. Would love to set up a call.

Any former clerks lateral into the Dallas Lit big law market? How early did you start recruiting? Did you go through referrals or a recruiter? Currently clerking at a COA with a few years big law experience in a similar sized market before the clerkship.

I’m currently at a v15 in nyc looking to lateral to Houston. If you had a choice, which Houston firm would you pick? (M&A Associate) looking for best career prospects in the Houston market , (exit opportunities etc.)
VE
Sidley
Latham
KE

Can anyone give me insight on Winstead Dallas? I am considering laterally to Dallas from Chicago & have a screening interview with Winstead coming up.

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

Winstead or Jackson Walker people in Dallas (or if you know someone in these office) — how often do you work weekends and what time do you generally “log off” for the day? Also curious as to average annualized hours. Thank you so much!

Has anyone successfully transferred offices within Texas? Dallas to Austin.

Looking to lateral to the Dallas area as a junior associate. Anybody work with some good recruiters? Or does anyone know of any openings?

Anyone else experiencing pencils down?

Does anyone know the work culture at Ryan Law in Dallas?

Does anyone know how long the interview process is at Winstead?

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

For folks in the Houston area, do any of y’all have advice on finding mental health therapists that “get it” on what BigLaw life is?

Austin recruiter recommendations? Looking at real estate/finance/corporate!

So with all the layoff talk on the BL bowl, how’s Texas M&A market doing? Anyone expect an uptick in Q4?
