I am looking into a Product Manager role at M&T Bank. Does anyone know the salary range or can tell me about the work/life balance?

Wanted to hear from others if not a lot of new projects are being signed lately because of the economy or if its just at my firm. I’ve been on the bench for a month now and I was roughly 100% chargeable up til now.

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

Will there be any hike if I moved to associate 2 in pwc ac, if yes how much can I expect?

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Where are you working these days? Has that changed since the start of the pandemic? If you are in the office, has that changed?

Favorite/least favorite judges and why?

What is your trial experience at the federal District Court in Baltimore? I have my first trial coming up next week. Is the electronic evidence technology pretty straightforward? Any programs that you have used there that you may recommend? Thanks in advance!

Salary and/or pay ranges:

I got licensed in 2018 and started working for a firm in DC while commuting from Baltimore because of the pay. I hated the job/firm and am obviously in Baltimore now, albeit with a significant pay cut, but the lifestyle/job satisfaction is awesome. There’s not a gargantuan BigLaw presence in/around Baltimore to really skew salary averages, so I’ve been curious as to what types of salary ranges there are around here for junior/senior associates, partners, etc.?
