To those with golden handcuffs, is it worth it?

Does anyone have opinions on PepsiCo? Interviewing with their growth strategy team who are mostly ex-MBB from top MBA programs. The work seems interesting and up my alley (CPG Strategy) but this bowls obsession w/ tech makes me think I should be focusing my attentions on FAANG

Not talking about project specific or where RM needs to approve, as this tech (cloud) is something I want to learn, not part of my day to day work.

Struggling to get work at a free market firm after lateraling. I was very well liked at my prior firm and had high hours so really struggling to understand why folks don’t seem to want to come back to me with more work. For those at free market firms, how frequently do you have to ask for work? How do you typically ask? Just send partners emails asking if they have any deals for you? Thanks y’all.

Which is more painful: watching litigators draft contracts or transactional attorneys litigate?

What’s your firm’s billable hours requirement? Name + whether pro bono (or anything else) counts please

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Kasowitz Benson - what is your opinion of them?

To all those in management, how do firms that haven’t instituted pay cuts/furloughs manage to do that? Is it because their clients are still paying the bills, because they are borrowing money, because partners just won’t see profit this coming year? Some combo?

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

Is "attention to correspondence" an appropriate description for the 17 hour block bill yesterday? Asking for a friend.

Is an offer after only a first screener a red flag?

Was interviewing with a firm and soon after receiving an offer, learned of bad culture/toxic partners in the practice group from a couple of associates who recently lateraled from the firm. I turned the offer down. A partner that I clicked with while interviewing reached out asking me why I turned down the offer. Should I be honest and relay what I heard?

Is there a common reason funds select different outside counsel for fund formation and downstream transactions? Are there any examples where a firm is first choice for both?

What does your out of office email say when you’ll be away from your computer and only sporadically checking email over a long weekend?

Question for funds folks, since no one is around to answer any questions and I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Why can't a placement agent combine or integrate the offering of interests in the sponsor's fund with the contemporaneous offering of interests in another fund? Is it based on reputational risk or from a sales perspective in case someone rejects both funds, any other issues? Thanks!

Did anyone here turn down an in-house role for reasons other than money? I have SEVERE cold feet about succeeding in-house and it being more stressful and “busy” than firm life. Help!

My work product is becoming worse and partners are noticing/commenting. I just hate the practice area so much that every time I am asked to do something I just get it done as quickly as possible and can’t be bothered to put in effort. I think I need to quit so I’m not fired for bad performance with a horrible reputation. Am I nuts and should I just wait til they let me go?

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

So many partners posting about “first day of law school” tips. Let’s be honest, the only thing a 1L should hear is “fake it til you make it.” 💁‍♂️
