Trial packing question: I have a short bench trial coming up. We will be prepping witnesses in the evenings after trial. Should I prepare to wear my suit for those preps, or do people like to get comfier since they can go late? The other two people on my trial team are men, and I’m new to the firm, so I feel weird asking. TIA!

I've been on two different trial teams and both times we would go back to our rooms for 10-30 minutes (depending) to change into sweats, call spouses, etc. before coming back to the war room. But sometimes you can get pulled into something and not have a chance. If I were you I'd pack to have the option of doing that

I normally stay in my same clothes—no time to change.

It’s going to depend on how much time you have and if you feel like wasting the energy to go change. But if you’re asking whether you should wear a suit/can dress casual, I promise no one cares.

I've always been casual for prep, or at most maybe a bus casual top/sweater, but then jeans and sneakers

Always change… take the 15 mins

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
