This one’s for the boys. Where do we get our suits?

Does anyone else start smiling when they’re mad? Or is it just me? 🤔

When I’ve my desk in standing desk mode, and I’m sitting on my chair and looking up at my screens, I feel like I’m looking up at god.

At what point do I start using 2 pages?
I have 8YOE and a MS. An internal recruiter and a headhunter said I should have 2pg. Should I list older projects? Listing ~15 projects, I have 1/6 pg left

My infosys portal shows review in progress two times. What does that mean..?

How do I learn to get new business/clients? Like, do partners just pitch with contacts, bid for RFPs? Just trying to understand how exactly it works. Insight appreciated :]

I don’t use dating apps for dating. I match w/men & quickly move to text. A week later, we meet. I analyze their psychological makeup, set boundaries (only kissing). They want to meet again. I can’t. So we connect via text/video calls. I show my vulnerabilities, insecurities. They open. Trust is built. Subtly, I help them face their blindspots (mostly emotions little boys are taught to repress). Friendship replaces romance & I gently release them back into the dating pool. This is my work.

I got the call, I am being stealth laid off. I have 3 months to go. What do I do day-to-day? I'm inclined with keeping up appearance, but doing as little work as possible. Like literally 1-3 a day. Kosher?

What do I put on my time card? I'm interviewing and applying for jobs all day. I can't write that?

Please don't commiserate. THIS IS GREAT NEWS. #fuckBigLaw

What’s the most useful/important piece of constructive feedback you’ve received as an associate?

Anyone here deal with Phantom Share Agreements? Would that be in the wheelhouse for an ECVC lawyer? My BIL is being offered a job with a company and received a proposed phantom shares agreement. One condition states that he must remain in good standing with the company even after the 3 year vesting period to receive distributions. Is that atypical?

Just me or is M&A picking up (in August of all months…) 😭

How many of you have ended relationships or been broken up solely due to time issues with this job? Did you have a wake up all and quit after or stay put?

I'm a new first year associate, almost two weeks in. Have to ask: is it normal to have almost no idea what's going on? I know my teams view me as completely clueless (which is 100% accurate), but whenever I ask for an explanation/they go over something with me, I'm still left feeling like they're speaking a different language. Is it just me? Every time I do a task I get so nervous I'm screwing up big time because it's like I'm stumbling around in the dark. What can I do to improve?

4th year lit associate considering an offer at a firm ranked much lower than current firm. What sort of signing bonus can I ask for if I didn't use a recruiter? How do spring bonuses factor into this calculus?

Partners - how much time do you spend thinking about your associates? Like do you ever talk to your friends or family about your associates (good or bad)? When an associate messes up do you talk to other partners about it?

WHERE IS MY RAISE

In transactional, what do you call the other sides lawyers? In other words, what is the “opposing counsel” equivalent for transactional?

As a first year, when will I be expected to be billing more regular numbers? Month 1? Month 2? It’s my second week and I’ve billed maybe 10 hours since Monday. But I also don’t have a lot of responsibilities yet.

I have resisted the urge to answer the emails sitting in my inbox and worked out for the first time since May 2020 💪

Hi NY biglaw folks. I'm a first-year associate applying to the NY bar—is there a difference in how quickly each Department gets through your application? I have a choice between the First and Third Departments and I'm not sure if it makes a difference.

I’m a 3rd year lit associate lateraling to a new firm in a few weeks. I just received an invitation to interview for a federal clerkship that would start in Aug. 2023. Would it be a bad look as far as changing jobs quickly if I were to get and do the clerkship a little over a year after starting my second job?

Anyone have insight into King & Spalding investment funds group?

I’m a 5th yr considering lateraling from a V30 to a V100 to increase chances at partnership. The v100 makes a fair amount of partners in my practice and I would assess my chances at making equity partner there to be relatively good for BL. At the V30 equity partnership odds seem much lower, but my reviews have been good. The V30 has >$2mm per year higher PPP, higher chambers ranking and better exit ops generally.

Any advice as to how to decide on the offer? What else should I consider?

New corporate junior associate here. How do you gauge whether you are supposed to finish an assignment over the weekend or if it can wait until Monday? If you get an assignment Friday night, do you just automatically work on it on Saturday or do you ask the partner? How do you ask them (i.e. your exact email response)?

I am tired of other team members not pulling their weight and having to deal with more things that on my plate. Any solution? I don’t want to snitch to the partners but am really getting sick of it

Im a junior and I get a lot of random please run redlines, please send documents from the system at 8pm, 10pm, etc, and they expect me to respond right away (which is fine because I'm home and its an easy task). I usually stay on to check emails until 10pm-12am. BUT when we go back to office, how will we handle those random tasks that require immediate attention? What if im in the middle of my commute? Do we just not go home until late? Will the expectation to be on 24 7 relax a bit?
