This day off thing is just a publicity stunt.

**********LEAD FEEDBACK & RATINGS*******

How are the ratings decided at EY GDS?
We add minimum of three people for LEAD feedback.

How are feedbacks from different quarterly cycles decide year end ratings?

Or is it simply that Counsellors and SM's sit and decide on ratings and hikes for the counselees??

Hello!
I'm looking for job opportunities in design. I'm open to any role that suits my profile (marketing, design). YOE 3.6 yrs as graphic designer. Pls help me with referrals or if you know any opportunity.

I'm working on a logo for a client, they need to be spoon-fed things. I am struggling to determine how to present the icon side of the logo as well as the text side.

I have 4 logo versions to present and a handful of type options because this client needs options to avoid back and forth.

Have you found it easier to show the same font/lockup on all logos or keep text and logo separate?

Why is it so hard to meet a decent guy?!? I don’t think I’m that ugly and I have all my teeth intact. I’m a little bit of an introvert but still…

Is your marketing team fully remote or in office? If fully remote, how did you make it work?

Has anyone worked for any awesome startups? I’ve been approached by several regarding full-time opportunities. An early career negative experience has made me hesitant, gun shy, skeptical. Would you say they are better/worse than corporate in-house, agency?

I am a career litigation associate making the switch to corporate. I'm only two years out of law school, but my focus through school and now has always been on litigation. The change in direction is due to an opportunity that presented itself that I felt I could not turn down. The team I'm joining has stated a number of times that they are excited to train me and expect a learning curve.

Any tips on making the switch? For context, I'm joining a midsized firm with a general corporate practice.

If I invest 50k in NPS, I would save 7k this year as per my tax calculation. Is this a good deal? In general, I don't like such long term investment, maybe I'd start that when I'm 35 but not today.

Anyone else who feels that they want to step into the more analytical/executive/operational/financial side of business?

I feel that as a corporate lawyer, you’re mostly doing the necessary details to carry out someone else’s decisions (= EG the boring part of business). The most "strategic" advice you give is perhaps advising on a choice between transaction models.

Would only a law degree and big law transactional experience be sufficient to go into more traditional business roles?

Are partner promotion votes generally unanimous? Like if you pissed off some random partner in a different office or practice on something not so major and they hold a grudge, and they vote against you, how does that usually work? Assuming of course you had the support of the partners in your own group. I know this is firm dependent to an extent.

Anyone ever publish a law review article while practicing? How long did it take, did you enjoy the process, did you talk to your firm about it and how did you approach it?

When an equity partner is retiring, does he receive his equity as a lump sum payment? How does that work? And how much is it usually (in AmLaw100)?

My spouse is currently having emergency surgery and I am in the waiting room with my laptop getting coverage on my cases for tomorrow, finalizing things I can’t pass off to someone else, and regretting all my career related life choices.

Imagine a person lateraling into Big Law who has never had to do the billable hours previously. 1) What would be your best piece of advice? 2) What do you wish someone would have told you about billing when you started? 3) Is there maybe a book for someone entering the minefield on billing effectively and capturing time effectively? Thanks in advance!

Partners: what year did you start drinking the kool aid and why?

Anyone move from lit in regional mid-size firm (300+ lawyers) to big law? I like my firm but am increasingly feeling a desire to practice complex national lit in a larger market. We get interesting commercial cases but not the high stakes sophisticated/complex lit that goes to larger firms. Am I making too much of this? And do the downsides of big law outweigh these benefits? For additional context, I am fine with my comp and my hours are around 2200. And assuming that I could get in, of course.

If you were super slow this year, would you wait until you receive a warning that you are on the chopping block before you apply other places and just enjoy the free time while you have it?….or would you try to leave before it becomes a real issue??

Ever been asked to draft a frivolous/unsubstantiated motion? Both, myself (first year) and a mid-level associate have repeatedly raised our concerns to the partner who acknowledged the problems but directed us to continue with drafting and filing the motion anyway. Any thoughts on the best way proceed with caution?

Anyone at Lewis Brisbois know what they’re changing the comp structure to for next year? I heard the billable target is being decreased and the bonus structure is being completely changed

Does anyone have any experience transitioning to a different practice area, specifically from tax to T&E? I’m a 4th yr associate trying to make this change and finding it a bit challenging. I would love to hear from anyone who made a similar transition and what they found helpful during the process… many thanks in advance.

Anyone have the inside scoop on the Perkins Coie ECVC team being picked up by MoFo?

M&A folks: What amount of billable time is appropriate to draft a pre-LOI NDA? Small deal (under $50 million).

I want to leverage my existing T&E big law experience to one day work for midlaw as a partner, making $300k-$500k, while billing 1500-1700, relying on associates, and focusing on biz dev/writing the remainder of the time. I’d like some degree of separation between work and life, with evenings and weekends mostly reserved for my family.

Is it possible to aim for a setup like this, and if so how should I work towards this goal while in big law and what types of smaller firms should I aim for?

Tips for bankruptcy associates who eventually want to move in-house? 3rd year associate in bankruptcy/restructuring group doing mainly bk lit but a few deals too. Need to stay in BL for at least another year for the money, but eventually want to move in-house. The path to in-house seems more straightforward for general commercial lit or more standard transactional practices. Any tips for someone who’s practice is a bit of a hybrid (and who will never likely do discovery or handle a depo)

M&A/PE exit options? I understand in-house, but what kind of jobs specifically?

How long does it take firms to get back to you after you’ve submitted an application to recruiting via email?

Is it normal for law firms to put a blanket ban on trading all securities? Im a Junior lateraling to a new firm, and I’m reading it for the first time, and don’t feel too great about that
