Thoughts on lateraling to Perkins Coie ECVC from a band 1 ECVC firm?

Last night a 500 pound man threw up on my arm in the bar. Was legit in shock. My friends ripped my shirt off me, so I was standing in the bar in my god damn bra. Hope everyone had a better Friday night than me 😂

Has anyone done the GARP Financial Risk and Regulation course? Was it educational? Did you do the FRM after?

I like the concept of the bowl!

Anyone getting a bit anxious about this crash some of the experts are predicting?

Sports Sponsorships
Hey everyone - I am currently in the process of evaluating a few sports sponsorships for a client. These are for minor league teams - nothing professional. Taking into consideration our marketing objectives, budget, etc. What are some good tips for pricing these out? Physical assets like billboards and programs are $$ but social media assets shouldn’t be *that* expensive.

I love the meaning behind the work we do, but I'm not sure if litigation is it for me. Has anyone else had similar experiences, and if so, how did you handle them?

Pivoting from five years of insurance defense litigation at a mid-size firm to family law in a small/boutique firm (3 partners and about 4 associates). What do you wish you knew when you first entered the field? Any advice is appreciated! So excited for this leap of faith into what I truly believe is my calling.

Interviewing at boomi for a enterprise AE role. What salary range should I expect?

Hourly pay rate

I love what I did in physiotherapy but two years into the career im struggling to see progression or long term future satisfaction. What have people shifted to from this career?

I’m leaving my job soon but I’m wondering if I should be truthful when I hand in my letter of resignation. There’s a ton of reasons but it boils down to: I’m worth more than they can pay me and I need to pay off these student loans. What should I say?

1st year. I have a decent amount of client email/phone interaction. One partner frequently asks me to communicate with clients, and the partner tells me to ask if I have any questions before emailing the client.

I almost always respond to the partner with my thoughts and ask partner whether P agrees with my thoughts, prior to emailing client. At what point should I be skipping that step and just email client? I’m worried about making a mistake, but most of the time P agrees with my “draft”

Not really a big law-related question but curious to what folks in big law think: is it worth getting a mortgage on an apt/house in a big city (like nyc or la) or better to just keep renting and invest that down payment/other property-related fees in a mutual fund?

Anyone at Greenberg actually like their jobs? What has your experience been?

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?
When they are mid or senior level?

Does anyone here know any good recruiters for Boston? Not looking to move, but want some intel (and feel awkward reaching out to the recruiter who placed me here).

What do capital markets BigLaw associates do when they go in house?

After leaving BL, what salary do most people settle at or is that way to general of a question?

So sad to see my beloved Cooley becomes a laughing stock. I still remember the day that a classmate of my 7-year-old thought I am a food delivery guy. Can't blame him cause I was wearing a jacket with a large COOLEY logo. He just learned the word "Cooler" the day before.

As opposed to firms that are laying people off, are there any that we think are generally strong? I know at my firm we still seem to be bringing over laterals all the time, but I have heard our corporate associates worried about drying work.

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).

New to due diligence and not sure the timeline of projects. Tips to stay organized of the project and timeline, and how to update those leading the deal? Just keep track of new info and provide as necessary?

Do partners sometimes say nice things about your work just to encourage you and less so because the work merits the compliment? Or is my impostor syndrome really messing with my head?

I hate this job. That is all.

4 months in as a first year associate and missing my billables every month by 20-30 hours. (Should be billing 158, I end up around 132). I never say no to work and I’m constantly asking for more work - should I be concerned? When should I expect to bill enough?

Do you have to give notice on a Friday? Why not whenever you’re able to give notice?

Real talk. Are you all the ones buying $188.00 hiking pants, $72.00 merino wool t-shirts, $45.00 COTTON t-shirts, and $179.00 10 oz steaks (2 pack)?

I received a targeted email ad from Huckberry, which I like, but the stuff is really expensive. Maybe I'm just too elder millennial, or not hipster enough... But this ad got me worried that I am saving too much by not spending all of my disposable income on hiking pants. Should I defer student loan payments?

I’ve met my CLE requirements for 2020 and 2021. Now what?

Is 7-10 days enough notice to take a single day of PTO? Assume you’re fine to arrange coverage etc.

If you weren’t a biglaw lawyer what do you think you’d do? Been wondering as of late about what else is out there.

Wondering what does a class of 2019 ip litigation lateral offer look like these days? Guaranteed year end end signing bonus? Anything else? Mainly curious about Southern California but all data points would be helpful
