Unless I am missing something, most law related bowls seem like a great resource for associates to compare notes with other peer associates, or to get partner and in-house counsel input on associate questions. The purpose of this bowl is different. The purpose for - this bowl - is to be a partner to partner peer resource. If I am missing a bowl like this that already exists, please let me know!

I agree a “partner bowl” is a great addition—instead of just giving advice, we can also get some good advice. While the pandemic is clearly unprecedented, like crises before it, it still leads to practice areas that are “winners” and those that are “losers.” Ideally, one is in a “winning” practice area at the outset but the biggest question is the flexibility and versatility of the firm. For better or worse, I’ve seen an understandable trend of firms that aren’t really in those “winner” practice areas, like healthcare, claiming to be so — sometimes successfully. That’s the entrepreneurial spirit at work!

Partners - curious as to what is happening for everyone now that we’re almost through May. I am in an area that is mostly support to M&A, real estate and lending. I had enough in the pipeline to stay busy enough through April, but haven’t seen a “new” deal since end of March. I’ll only be billing about 50% of my typical hours in May. How is everyone else doing in May (busy/slow) and thoughts for what to expect in June?

I’m in a larger one state firm with a business focus. We are seeing residential real estate and residential RE development continue but are worried about commercial outlook as WFH and decline in retail may accelerate a demand in commercial properties.

My clients are medium to large family and closely helds. They are definitely tightening their pocketbooks and cutting back on spending.

Overall we are forecasting a 20% decline in fee revenue for the year.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

FDD/TAS Senior > Restructuring (Rx) analyst or associate (FAS/Banking) - Has anyone seen it done before? Would starting from Valuation instead of FDD be a better stepping stone to Rx banking. Also, I would imagine the best Rx banking exit would be to HL. Is FTI Rx (FAS) considered better than EY-P Restructuring consulting? How about compared to AM Rx (FAS). Thanks for any input!

I’m confused by all these posts about Product Owners. I’ve worked at 3 Bay Area-based tech companies over 6 years and never heard of a Product Owner. As a product manager, i work with my engineering and design partners to figure out what to build and then build it. What role would a product owner play in all this? My honest assumption is that this role was invented by companies that want to pretend to be doing agile but aren’t really, but I’m open to being proven wrong.
