What are good practice groups in employment law at V50 law firms? ERISA? Class actions? Currently at a “Big 4” L&E firm and looking to lateral up.

I mean, the most logical group would be L&E or Employment…

Look into Morgan Lewis, McDermott, Proskauer, Winston, Mayer Brown and other similar firms with large L&E practices. They’ll probably want defense side work, but I doubt you’d have a better chance getting an ERISA/ERISA lit job with your background.

I’m in Big Law L&E. I’d say wage and hour class and collective actions and corporate L&E work. Some non-compete/restrictive covenants work too. We do some single-plaintiff EEO work, but not as much as the Big 4 because our rates are so high and we don’t do any EPLI work.

Those of you who left for industry, what do you work towards in your role? I was reflecting on my time in public and there was always something, whether it was a new section in the file, getting more client contact, getting invited to a big golf outing, running the jobs, managing the jobs, etc. I worry that leaving would leave me bored and not motivated to hit any sort of goal. I’m burnt out and worry that I’m making a rash decision lol. Thoughts?

Hey all - first year associate here… I’ve met my hours requirement for this year (requirement is 1900 and am currently at around 2050 with billable hours - approx. 2160 with non billable admin hours) and I am just tired. Is it okay to just “disappear” during the holidays (thanksgiving week, week of Christmas) and let partners and senior associates know I am not available? At this point I don’t care about making more money - I just want to sleep, read a good trashy book, and cuddle with my dog.

Anyone here ever have to take medical leave for burnout/depression?

I am looking forward to taking two extended vacations between now and year end but there are days I feel like I can’t even do my job for another week or even a day. Just looking for some encouragement that I can recover from this with some time off.
