Very slow lately at something like < 20 hours/week, but I’m also giving notice in about 4-6 weeks (impatiently waiting for visa transfer to clear). How do I navigate this awkward period of time - it makes no sense for me to be proactive or take on more work, but I also don’t want people start knocking on my door. It’s also not soon enough that no one will notice my hours.

Are people called to chennai once every month especially SBA's @Tiger analytics? Or is it a permanent wfh for now?

How do you have a conversation with someone that makes an unknowingly inappropriate or insensitive comment that not only impacts you but others around your office?

Does anyone here have experience investing with Masterworks (platform for investing in fine art)?

Anyone have belt recommendations?

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

Any product counsel for AI-related companies here?

Does the employee get both the employer and employee contribution to PF or only own contribution to PF?

Is being a freelance trainer on weekend moonglighting?

Any thoughts on iCapital?

ATL Pride anyone?

My firm has a LGBT group at the national level but at the office/region, a LGBT group is formed on a case by case basis. Before I joined last year, an ally started the group... by first, arranging...

Has anyone taken a stealth vacation (i.e. went on a trip but didn’t officially take time off)? Did it work out?

Junior associate. Should leave my firm and I follow a new partner in another firms’s established debt finance dept., or follow a new partner creating another big law debt finance dept. ? I’m leaving my firm no matter what, but have to chose between these two options - I’m looking for the most interesting experience !

Some recruiter just called my mobile, sneezed and hung up.

I am getting sick of these cold calls.

How do you deal with stub years who are exceptionally bad? I’m not talking about general cluelessness which is completely expected and understandable, but turning in work product riddled with incomprehensible, grammatically incorrect sentences that would fail middle school English. This is honestly the worst I’ve ever seen. Would you just avoid in the future or raise this with a partner? I don’t even know how to talk to this person about this…

Any insight into pay at Proskauer’s satellite offices such as New Orleans or Boca Raton?

Lit associates at Goodwin how’s WLB in terms of expectations to work weekends and into evenings/late nights. How’s culture generally? Do people go on vacations and is time off respected?

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Junior Associates - How much student loan debt are you and your peers in these days? A few young partners and counsel at my firm were discussing the student loan moratorium and most of us were convinced we could have paid the majority of our loans off with the bonuses associates got these last two years. But we are all old and when we graduated 150k to 200k was about the max student loan debt people graduated with. So educate me. What is the average student loan debt these days?

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.

If we all make a fuss about returning to the office do you think the standard will change?

Tips on remote interviewing? Lateraling and this is my first one coming up. Kinda nervous since I haven’t done an interview in years.

Joining GT…Should I choose a company phone or transfer my phone to GTs plan?

As a mid-senior level associate in litigation/investigations/arbitration, do you feel like what you’re currently doing is actually holding you back in terms of professional/personal development? We spend so much time going over the nittiest and grittiest of details that I feel like I’m not actually learning anything new anymore or expanding my skill set. I work in a super lean team and as a 6th year I’m still doing a lot of the grunt work. Is this normal?

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

I’m debating to join Locke Lord Dallas in transactional. I’m looking to stay at the firm long term and would appreciate any information y’all have. Please be as candid as possible.

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

Do you think Milbank hate DPW?

From a vault ranking perspective, is it safe to assume V100 is all sweatshop big law? Reason I ask is because I want to lateral but not to a gunning big law firm — want to stay in big law but not at the ones at the top of the food chain like I am now. Want some sort of work life balance and wondering if the “lower ranked” big law firms offer this? Could just be my fantasy though…

Could someone explain the type of work and assignments that a first year in Capital Markets should expect?

If you notice that a junior associate on your team has over-billed, how would you handle it? I don’t want to get them in trouble, but noticed that they billed extremely high numbers even though I was doing all they work on the deal and they completely disappeared other than for client conference calls. Certain things that they billed for on the final invoice, I alone handled and never asked them to do. Appreciate any advice. I’m a mid-level in case it helps for context.
