Can anyone provide insight on the work life balance of tech transactions practice area in big law? Is it as unpredictable/ intense as corporate? How often do you work evenings/weekends?

I'm considering a move from my current practice area-- corporate (mostly cap markets)-- to another big law firm in order to transition to technology transactions. I am tired of the intense deal lifestyle and also want to go to tech transactions for better in house opportunities sooner.

Have you found a Latinx mentor in your office? How many Latinx attorneys do you work alongside? For my first two years, the answer has been no and zero.

I’m a third year associate wanting to leave my second law firm. My first two years of practice I was at a small firm and left to a mid-size firm to practice insurance defense. I have enjoyed the practice but not the firm. The firm’s culture is toxic. The firm has had 7 attorneys leave in the last year. Is it wrong for me to wanting to leave? Will i give the impression of being a job hopper? Does it really matter?

Since suit shopping is hard enough, what suits fit the best? I love BOSS and Ann Taylor.

Hi! I am super new to this app and I see a consistent ask about latina(x) mentors. Has anyone been able to find one and how? I am still looking and frankly could you use all the support. I am the only latina in my office and culturally sometimes I hit these invisible walls that make me feel so incredibly self conscious. I am the first to have a degree in my family so they do support me but there’s a huge gap. I want to know how to navigate big law/private practice without losing myself & culture

Hi ladies! First gen Latina corporate lawyer here. I’ll be relocating from DC to NYC soon. Recognizing how hard it is to find diversity in the workplace even in the most diverse cities, I’ve joined this bowl in hopes of contributing to building a community among my fellow Latina lawyers. Happy to chat virtually or grab a coffee anytime.

So I vented yesterday on the Attorneys of Color brown I think I should have come here directly...are you the only Latina attorney in your office? Its 2020 and I’ve still to this day am the only Latina Attorney or Latinx attorney at all in my office and have been at every office since I became a lawyer (2014). It’s so effing lonely...

I’m brand new to this bowl. What markets do these lovely Latina lawyers practice in?

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗

So I had an interview in early September and a second interview almost 2 weeks ago. I received an email with an update last week, essentially saying that the interview went well and they would follow up with me. It’s been about a week. Should I follow up? If so, any advice on how to write that email?

Do any of you spend time on HNBA or other affinity organizations? If so, do you bill your time as non-billable, i.e. diversity? And how do you balance your time going to an events/getting involved?

I’m getting ready for my first review: what kind of raise did you get after your first year? My firm doesn’t have a lock-step increase, so I don’t know what to expect or what to ask for.
