I was laid off a few weeks ago (🥲) and it made me realize I want to pivot into freelance for a bit and live abroad. I’ve done a bit of part time freelance, mostly social media content creation, but I’m so all over the place with what I should do to get started! How to pitch, who to reach out to, all those logistics. Any freelancers here with expert tips for beginners? 🙏😅

hi fishes, I have joined Iti as a lateral.
After joining they have asked me to collect laptop from office. When i went, the laptop was not in a great condition and was refurbished. I am guessing it was used almost 3 to 4 years before me.

I asked them for a new laptop and they said they dont have new laptop in stock, i even checked with my manager she said she is also using refurbished laptop so no problem.
Anyone else faced this problem earlier?. If yes how did you act on it?

What are some exit options for litigators that aren’t connection-driven? I think we all know the standard set of options (fed govt, in house, lobbying, govt relations), but in litigation those jobs are VERY often filled through networks. What’s out there where a litigator is competitive and where a good portion of positions are filled based on just strength of resume and interview? Question is for all jobs, not just litigation and not just legal.

Hi Fishes, I was hired by Optum as Tableau Developer in June 2021. One year passed and I was just doing support and maintenance work on Tableau dashboards (no new development). Now the company wants me to work on Power BI and convert all dashboards into it. I want to make my career in Tableau and I don't want to work on Power BI as I find it hard as compared to Tableau also less interesting. My last company also does the same thing so I left that company within 6 months. Optum
Can someone help?

I'm trying to choose between IBM Corporate Strategy and Innosight. I like both opportunities. Innosight pays more, but I've never had a big brand like IBM on my resume. Additionally, I'm worried whether Innosight's exit opportunities are slimmer than IBM. Would anyone have some advice on what I should pick / how I should think about this?

I am studying for MBA and need 3 books. They are very expensive to buy, so I am wondering if any of you have access to a soft copy that you can share.

Has anyone used Calendly to help track the dozens of interactions and calls with recruiters and agencies? I am either spending hours on the phone scheduling or being ghosted even if I reply within the day I receive the job description and invitation to talk.

Looking to switch from a boutique firm into big law and make a move into corporate from litigation. Anyone have experiences doing this? Also, does anyone know which firms are more willing to hire laterals from outside of big law and which ones won’t?

Other than Gibson Dunn, which V20ish firms have strong employment practices?

If a firm you might lateral to asks for a writing sample, do you use something from your current firm or something from law school as I'm only a 2nd year. And do I use the final version edited by others or my original first draft?

Imagine a person lateraling into Big Law who has never had to do the billable hours previously. 1) What would be your best piece of advice? 2) What do you wish someone would have told you about billing when you started? 3) Is there maybe a book for someone entering the minefield on billing effectively and capturing time effectively? Thanks in advance!

Is it a good idea to slow down an interview process to wait on responses from other firms?

Best way to send cold applications to biglaw firms? Feel like the portals/career emails are flooded 24/7.

It’s been painfully slow this past month in my department (corporate law) and I had low hours throughout the summer. I’ve never refused work and have always sent an email to partners when I had slower months asking for more work. I’m definitely not going to hit my target. Should I be worried? I know I’m not the only one in this position but it’s still nerve wracking. Any advise on how to control your anxiety during those times?

December feels like a country song. Two dogs died on the 1st. A hard rain exposed latent roof damage and collapsed ceiling in two rooms. Stove, fridge and water heater all went out on the same day last week. Yesterday my spouse said they needed a break from the chaos through the holidays and left. Today a positive covid test. And 7 deals trying to close before year end requiring my full attention so none of the aforementioned can get any attention.

Associates, don’t let this become you.

Lateral now and ask the new firm for the bonus you’d miss out on or be miserable, wait, collect the bonus at current firm and then try to get a sign on?!

What firms pay market in Atlanta?

I know this happens a lot but I still get mildly annoyed when a senior tries to make revisions to your work that don’t actually make sense and the partner eventually just reverts to your original language/wording. I’m a senior myself and I remind myself constantly not to mark something up for the sake of marking something up.

Anybody in Fenwick’s EC/VC group want a referral bonus? Looking to lateral from V50 finance practice in NYC as a second year.

Is the counsel title another version of non equity partner?

My firm has been pushing us to go back to the office since June, and every single day now they are sending pro-office propaganda. You can convince me there are benefits to being in the office, but good grief, let us work from home once or twice a week! Otherwise I’m out.

How many of you broke 3,000 hrs this year?

When a mid level works with a junior, should the junior send the final product to the partner or the mid level? I am a mid level now, but I started as a junior as part of a growing practice group. At the time, there weren’t many associates in our group, so I always worked with the partners directly. Now we have juniors in our group, but I’m not sure about certain process points (such as the e-mail question), so I appreciate thoughts on this!

I would like to quiet quit. How does one do that in BigLaw?

If you receive an offer that doesn’t include a sign-on bonus, is it kosher to counter and include a sign-on bonus? How would you introduce that?
TIA!
