I need serious advice, please! Am I wasting my time messaging a guy I matched with online that lives on the opposite coast? Background: we message each other at least 1-2 times everyday for the last FIVE months but never over a phone call. He actually doesn't even have my number. We message on IG. He's a full-time student and full time employee so busy guy. But am I wasting my time and emotions with this guy??

2020 Big Law Partnership Post: "Wow, we're so diverse - look at all of our newly elevated white women non-equity partners."

I’m a first year. I got a random email from a high level partner asking me to basically handle an entire and very complicated matter that is not my practice area. In my 11 months since starting, my work has been limited strictly to my assigned section. I don’t think this partner (whom I’ve never met) even knows I’m a first year. What should I do? Continued:

Has your firm reduced billable hour expectations / requirements?

Realistic total comp for transactional Tax Counsel in primary markets? Was getting 250-300k-ish all-in offers around my 4th year mark, and I’m thinking of exploring the market again (7th year) cause tired of the biglaw gravy train, but scared about the looming recession.

Skadden has announced year end bonuses. Match DPW.

AM Law 25 folks, are you working every weekend? I have been and it’s horrible, along with consistent 1-2am nights during the week. Just want to know I’m not the only one.

What should I expect for an upcoming meeting with a recruiter? The recruiter contacted me on behalf of a firm in my area. The firm is apparently looking for a junior associate (I’m a first year) in my practice group. I wasn’t initially looking to lateral, but this firm would potentially be a huge step up (from a local mid-size firm to a regional branch of an AmLaw 100 matched to Cravath pay scale). Is this recruiter meeting going to be like a mini interview? I am in totally new territory

How much paid leave do laterals usually get to study for the bar? Do firms ever try to not pay for a prep course? Trying to gauge how BS my V100 is being.

Are there any other websites like Laterally that track moves? Their site has been down for months.

What is the big deal about a summer associate emailing the client? I get it’s not ideal but find the reaction seems to be quite disproportionate.

Fight the system. Start sending “No comments” instead of a bunch of meaningless drivel to make it look like you did something.

How many days is an acceptable amount to tell your team you are having a hard time working due to illness? I have the flu and every time I try to work for more than 10 minutes I feel like I’m going to collapse. I haven’t been so sick in years. I told my teams yesterday and they’ve been understanding so far, but I think I need to take another day today and I’m worried it’s going to start to look bad. I’m fairly busy but not mid-signing or anything.

How do you deal with a mid level who bosses you around and takes credit for your work? A mid level recently wormed their way onto a matter I’ve been helping a partner with for several months and has suddenly made it miserable (I’m a junior).

Firms that aren't sweatshops for Cap Markets?

Laid off and feeling too depressed to keep going. Have a month left on the website. I’m too depressed to be anxious at this point. Any kind words would be helpful
