Thoughts on Willkie SF?

Junior IT developer looking to break into Customer Success to continue my coding practice on the side.
Anyone looking to hire? Worked at a unicorn SAAS company as a SDR. Great performer with references to back it up! Before that it’s been all sales! Mostly car sales and was able to travel to Aussies how to sell cars as well! I love being able to take my time to establish and building meaningful rapport with just about anyone! Lookin go for open environment, structure and great training!

A&M fishes ! Waiting for an offer from PEPI MAS today. What’s a realistic TC for a manager on average ? I know it’s very much dependent on utilization but I’m looking for average numbers that someone you have seen during your time at the firm. Lowest and highest in addition to average are appreciated as well 😊

How many times has an interviewer no-showed and the recruiter profusely apologizing on their behalf?
Happened to me with Mindtree recruiter, for an IoT leadership position where the interviewing VP chose to no show twice… after which I thanked the recruiter that I was impressed by their book of busi-ness and that it was intimidating to be thinking about the prospect of working for Mindtree… as I’m too incapable for those performance standards… 😂😂

I have a 401k and A Roth IRA but I’m not active in my investments. What are some good sources to get started to understand personal finance and investing?

Book recommendations on leadership, career development, etc?

I’m looking for examples of accessible / ADA-compliant color palettes. Not a color palette builder tool, but a gallery of compliant color palettes I can use for inspiration. Please share your favorites here. Thanks!

Why do partners tell associates to be cost-conscious when billing for certain clients when they can just cut your hours on the back end?

There’s a BO VP that has a habit of sending out long emails with multiple color fonts, last one had 5. How can I politely tell her that this just makes her emails harder to follow?

Hii fishes

What is EBA IN Bosch?

After joining for laterals, will client interview be there in Bosch?

Hi i got a mail from IFS team about my adverse response in the FY22 ACC regarding EBP's. I am not able to understand this. Please help me understanding this mail.

So, I'm sure this has been discussed. What would be a cut off for when to leave without necessarily burning bridges? End of October? End of November?

In-house comp at firms like KKR or Blackstone? Thx in advance.

thoughts on clerking at the DE Chancery Court for an M&A associate?

I’m a first year associate and perpetually concerned I’m going to get fired bc I feel like my work product isn’t at the level it should be. Does anyone have an idea of how easy/ hard it is to get fired?

Is it true that there’s a lot of 2-4 year lateraling in January?

All this talk about firms doing stealth layoffs has me spooked. Any BigLaw firms in Dallas doing this? I’ve noticed some surprising associates leave my firm over the past couple of months and suspect at least some of them were ice-outs…

Opinion on Quinn? (Would prefer an opinion from people who actually work there and aren’t just bitter from opposing them)

Mostly just here to that it’s tough dealing with time differences for int’l clients... any tips on being appropriately responsive in the evening? I’m ET and the clients are all over Asia and Europe

Why do firms fire people with low but still profitable hours? I am in my first full year on track for pretty low hours (~1500) but the actual realized fees (after writedowns) are still double my yearly salary. Is it because firms know they could replace someone like me with an equivalent attorney who would bill more?

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

Any firm have 1800 or less client billable requirement?

A first year asked me today how to maintain wlb to make the job work long term. Oh you sweet summer child.

3rd Year v15 Biglaw lit associate, curious what people’s experience with going in house as a litigator has been. For those that have made the switch, did you have a sense of whether it was feasible for you to transition back to biglaw?

Anyone know of top RE law groups that don’t really do a lot of deal support work (sorry M&A friends)?

When do you think your offices will start expecting you to go back in? And do you think there will be some change in the FaceTime requirement? Or do you think things will go back to normal in terms of being expected to be in every day?

I have a clerkship with a bankruptcy judge in a major jurisdiction beginning in September. If I stopped working in April, is that too early or can I stop whenever? I’m not in RX now, but I want to join a major RX group after my clerkship. I’ve been working at the same firm out of law school, so almost 2 years.

Advice/tips welcome to maximize hours for trademark prosecution?

How much do Biglaw firms pay in Brussels? I know they match US salaries in London, but is the situation the same for other offices?

Housecleaning services?
I’m in midtown west and need a new housecleaner. Looking to pay $100/cleaning. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who is trustworthy and reliable? I would also need them to do laundry (laundry is one floor above and below me - every other floor in my building).

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

Thoughts on Wilson Sonsini LA office? Interested in retooling from m&a. Anything about culture, the work, people?
