Hi Fishes

Can I get 11 or more likes so I can DM to anyone.

I was seeing someone for about 2 months. I wasn’t that into it and was about to cut it off but they did it first. Now I’m feeling hurt about being rejected even though I was planning to do the same 🙃

Currently in Interview process with EPAM Systems in Canada for Performance analyst role ( Performance testing / engineering ) and also Test Automation role.

Also what can i expect in project interview and manager interview? Will it be highly technical? I cracked round #1 technical interview, it was easier than expected

Why do we have so many Bourbon lovers as compared to Scotch? Is that because you get better quality and value out of bourbons for less as opposed to Scotch because of the import tariffs? (Contd)

What is the variable pay does Macquarie give year on year ? And is there a surety that we will surely get a decent variable pay as well over our fixed package since I don't find anything mentioned regarding this variable pay in my offer letter. Yoe- 8 and tech - selenium testing, and position- assistant manager.
If yes, how much one can expect in variable pay for fixed compensation of around 25-30lpa.

Can anyone refer me in JPMC.
YoE- 5

Hi All,
Anyone having an idea how to build the data grid using angular or Js or Html but not by using third party grids.. it will be very helpful. My wife wants to understand a few things about it.

Got offer supervisor associate,rank 64 for CT practice. can soneone help me understand the salary bracket and yoe for this designation?

Are BigLaw hours in London really that bad? Would an MC firm be a safer option as a foreign qualified lawyer looking to make a move.

how much should a mid level in NYC make?

Are written reviews always positive, or can you generally tell the direction of your in-person review from the tenor of the written review?

Tx folks. Has anyone tried to do the Rice online MBA while being a junior corporate associate? Does anyone think this is doable? I want an MBA because I eventually want to pivot from law but the opportunity cost right of completely leaving my v10 is too much.

Working Canadian big law. Really burnt out and not enjoying work. Very understaffed and work product is suffering. Partners not hiring new associates, classic toxic work/availability expectations etc etc. have an opportunity to work with a boutique firm, make same amount making now but plus % of billables. Smaller deals and less sophisticated but opportunity to help grow the firm and be more entrepreneurial. Weekends generally protected and lower yearly target. What would you do?

Serious Q. How do you approach the partners at a AM100 firm about leaving after 2 months of getting hired? Accepting an in house position. Should I expect the partners to be pissed and get scolded? What are the chances of them firing me on the spot? Lol

When you’re flying for a client. When do you leave to the airport? As I understand it, travel time is billable from when I leave my house until I check into the hotel. But I don’t want to leave to the airport and charge the client for waiting for the flight but I don’t want to leave too late and miss my flight either.

Margiela, Armani, or Canali? I've always bought Brooks Brothers suits but now I figured it was time to level up a little bit

I’m feeling so anxious. Never had a problem with anxiety prior to starting biglaw. Running 5 deals at once (m&a midlevel) and don’t know how much more I can take.

How many work hours does it take for you to bill 8 hours? Feeling like I’m inefficient.

How do you know if partners like you? How do you know if you have adequate mentors in your office?

How many billable hours do you aim for per month? Thinking of lateraling to a firm with no official hours target and wondering what I should be aiming for - is 170/mo (2000 per year) acceptable? Don’t want to burn out but also don’t want to get fired lol. I also understand there’s little control over how much I’ll work but just wondering what y’all think is good enough.

Partners, do you ever have slow days?

Surprise all associate call at 11 today. Wonder what this could possibly be about. We were told last week that associate pay cuts were not happening but could later. I guess later is one week, lol.

Any tips for transitioning into the mid-level role? Struggling as a third year to stay on top of my own work, which is increasingly unsupervised, while also managing specialists and juniors.

So which firm is going show up Cravath? I’m concerned that the top has set the market and the rest will fall in line.

I just learned that the supplemental long term disability policy offered by my firm does not cover any disability caused or significantly contributed to by pregnancy or childbirth. This feels really discriminatory and unfair to me that the firm would only offer this policy. Women are expected to bear the burden and risk of pregnancy (often more than once) and if there is a complication they don’t get benefits?! Does your firm have this policy exclusion?

Partner gets upset and calls me to complain every time I don’t turn a draft within 2hrs of receiving an email. This same partner has been sitting on a draft for two weeks. How do I get myself out of this situation? I’m at capacity, working as fast as I can, and they’re stressing me out.

We’ve just had performance reviews, and it turns out that every junior/mid associate in my practice group (including me) that I have spoken to has individually been told that they’re performing above their level and that they are amazing etc. Is this normal / is this a retention tactic? A number of juniors are considering moving laterally, in case it adds any context, just seems weird to all be told the same thing when it can’t be true for everyone...

Anyone looking for a first year litigation associate in San Francisco Bay Area? Prefer big law but open to minimum base of 150k, please. Thank you for the leads in advance! C/o 2021
