Currently 6 years at job A at 100K and 10K annual bonus but lil to no upward mobility. It's safe if not going anywhere.

Recruiter reached out regarding Job B at 130K with greater advancement potential but it starts out at 6 Months Contract to Hire per the agency contract. No bonus, benefits adequate by comparison. There is no guarantee to go full time.

Law schools in Toronto - I am currently working as a Senior Auditor at EY & finished my CPA modules in less than 12 months & successfully passed CFE, September 2021 (Fasttrack) while working full time. I am really interested in getting into a top law school here in Toronto but unfortunately I had a low CGPA (3.15) from undergrad due to some unfortunate incident, mostly impacted my grades. I strongly feel i can score 170+ on LSAT; question DO I EVEN STAND A CHANCE TO GET INTO ANY LAW SCHOOL

Are there any big law firms that hire nontraditional evening students in IP or corporate law?

Which firms announced they’re opening offices in November (NY)

Just hired my old law school prof to be local counsel on a deal. Pretty cool thing to do as a second year.

What are some practice areas in litigation that go to trial often in big law?

Did an unsolicited submission to a firm 3 months ago, as their website indicated no recruiter submissions for unsolicited positions. Didn’t hear back, & a third-party recruiter reached out regarding an actual opening. Since I’d already submitted my materials, I can’t work with said recruiter. Would it be ok to reply to my previous email/submission to the firm explaining the situation— I.e, recruiter reached out regarding opening, can’t work w. her, resubmitting in consideration for x position?

What are the opinions of 1st year associates taking paternity leave?

What are the odds that big law associates successfully use this market to carve out more humane working conditions?

Bay Area recruiter recs? Moving from out of state and need somebody that knows the market. Alternatively, if your firm is hiring bankruptcy associates in SF we could skip the recruiter and get you that reference commish.

Are there ANY Am Law 20 firms (even 50 and up), where billing 200 monthly is acceptable? Like any? Do tell.

Note: Some am law firms say no billable hour requirement, but that’s only because you bill 3x over.

Those of you who’ve gotten in shape: how do you make health & fitness a priority? I’m in year four of this job and realize I need to make some changes (aka I’ve put on 50 pounds since I started this job)

Hey all - first year associate here… I’ve met my hours requirement for this year (requirement is 1900 and am currently at around 2050 with billable hours - approx. 2160 with non billable admin hours) and I am just tired. Is it okay to just “disappear” during the holidays (thanksgiving week, week of Christmas) and let partners and senior associates know I am not available? At this point I don’t care about making more money - I just want to sleep, read a good trashy book, and cuddle with my dog.

I work in a large satellite office of a law firm and I don’t feel like I’m getting the kind of work I’m looking for, work that seems to be done almost entirely out of the main office. I’ve tried reaching out to folks in other offices but it hasn’t really worked. Should I consider a lateral move? What are my options?

Do other firms have mandatory department meetings? Practice group meetings?

Do you get partners you work for a holiday gift?

Assume they don’t give you one.

While I do enjoy dressing more casually, does anyone else find that wearing a suit helped with the imposter syndrome?

Does anyone else receive push back when they (i) ask substantive questions or (ii) express that they can’t do something immediately because they have to do more urgent work? Trying to figure out how common this is....

Still relatively new at my firm. At my prior biglaw firm, everything had to go through partner review. The partners here say they trust me and tell me to send stuff out without their review (they’re also swamped). Based on all the comments on here about even first years taking on a lot of work, I guess this is normal. But anyone else have a lot of anxiety that they missed something?
