Hello,

I cleared all round at APISERO and received confirmation mail on 24th Dec,2021 communicating they will call for HR discussion in 8-10days. It's been 18days now and I tried to reach the SPOC but she isn't responding to the phone calls.

Is there any hiring freeze going on at APISERO?

For buy side analysts, are there logical career moves one can make after having a couple of years of working experience?

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

What has been the best question to ask at an interview to glean most insight into a prospective firm? I’m in L&E but would appreciate all perspectives.

Are we allowed to have a side business (not accounting related) while working for big4?

Do all these recruiters sound like car salesman? Any advice finding someone who will actually help you? Or am I better finding exit opportunities myself

How do you go about your LinkedIn profile after having gotten (or in the works of getting) job2? Do you add an end date to your current job?… do you deactivate your LinkedIn? 😅… how do y’all go about it?

Im asking this everywhere - is anyone in a virtual book club that is accepting new members?

There were substantial layoffs at firm and management has denied, saying they were performance related (mostly bullshit). They have not ruled out [further] layoffs in the future.

I don’t want to lose my job, and it would absolutely suck. But I almost feel numb and hard to even get too worked up over the prospect given how emotionally exhausting this year has been. Maybe bcz I feel somewhat safe, but I feel like if it happens, it does, and I’ll find a way to recover/move on.

Does anyone tell the truth in exit interviews? About to have mine and not sure whether to be honest about partners who were bullies, backwards culture, etc?

For those of you at these firms giving associates base salary raises, what are your billables like? I’m trying to decide if now is the time to lateral from a lower AM 100 up.

So I pulled an all nighter on Monday to do this thing, spend Tuesday like a zombie (and I had 5 calls!!!) then on 6PM the senior reviewing my work came back with comments that I needed to turn “ASAP”. I was so tired I just said I would not because I needed to sleep. I sent them today at 1:30 PM.
Would you get mad if your mid-level/junior did that? I’m all for pulling all-nighters and billing but everything has a limit.

Hypo: client says they agreed to use a prior agreement another firm drafted as precedent for a new deal prior to engaging you. It’s maybe the most poorly written contact you’ve ever seen. Most material terms are arguably there, but it’s convoluted and you’d be embarrassed to put your name on it. There’s clearly a better way to draft it. To what extent do you re-write certain sections?

If I am hunting for a job, is BCG Attorney Search actually worth working with? They seem to be everywhere, but something about them seems scammy.

Just did the Vault survey. Everyone on the Milbank scale got a 10. Everyone else got a 1 through 4. DPW got a 1.

Did you make a mistake working in BigLaw? Why?

I recently met someone who is a GC but also of counsel at a firm. How does that work?

A young male partner told me that I should wear heels to work. I don’t cause they hurt and told him that. He then replied “beauty is pain honey”. What a day.

Not a big firm, I know. But does anybody have insight in Cowan Debaets?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I hate Kirkland for what they did to me. Got laid off due to intra-firm-politics at a point in my career where I don’t have enough experience to lateral, when the market is so bad for corp/M&A that even with experience getting hired isn’t likely with a Kirkland stain on the resume, during the holidays when getting interviews or even screeners is just as unlikely, and all of this without any warning at all. Recruiters can’t or aren’t helping. I don’t know what to do, but this is a nightmare
