What are mid level corporate associates billing this year? Asking because I’m moving to Canada from US big law in a few months, and want to know if I’ll still be drowning in work. Thank you!

My org will be pausing the Employer match to 401k for a few months. What's the best strategy to optimize my investment at this time?
Ride along/increase or decrease my percentage?

Hey TW,

Is there a HLD or LLD or both design rounds in java dev interview?

I’ve got my 7, 66, CFP, and CIMA with roughly 3.5 years industry experience. I started a new role at the paraplanner level… is this a bit of an undersell? Or is that along the industry timeline?

“Who cares if it doesn’t work! You have to sell the vision!”

Planning to resign, will I get my retirals and leave encashment?

Can anyone let me know if there’s any talks of hiring a senior associate in corporate accounting at PwC? Probably my dream job

a few weeks ago we had a super busy day with scripts and i think i went into ‘autopilot’ because i don’t remember it happening, but i handed out the wrong prescription to someone (before you get mad, i only started a few weeks ago and i’m a junior assistant), out of all people i could’ve given the wrong medication to, it was a blind person. i have severe anxiety already and want to know some tactics to go back to work without guilt? i take guilt very heavy and struggle to get past it all

How much does work experience impact your chances for MBA? Currently in a PMO function and the point of getting an MBA is to exit out lol

Hi All, what’s your perspective on the CFP? I’m looking to enter into Private Banking and I think it would help.

Also, for those who recently took the CFP. What material did you use to study?

Happy Monday!

Thank you!

Partners: where do your clients come from? Do you spend more time acquiring new clients or using your network from past projects/peers?

Hi, I am currently trying to switch from partnership tax into a corporate finance/FP&A role - has anyone been able make this pivot? Any tips? I have some modeling experience but still feel super under qualified. I have 4 years of experience and up for manager promotion this October, but want to leave before then. Any help would be appreciated 😭

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Actually, I gave Interview for BackEnd Developer @ Itilite. I was selected in the interview process (2 Tech DSA Based + HR) and got a mail stating that our interview panel is really impressed with your domain related expertise in order to proceed with offer negotiation please submit your documents. Now after 2-3 days of document submission, they came up by saying they cant move forward with my candidature.

I am still amazed how can they do this after asking my documents.

How is your firm’s bonus policy structured? Set amounts based on year of call and hours? Discretionary? Who the hell knows? What bonus?

Trying to rid myself of ID work and get into commercial lit at big shop. I’m just about a year in, and so I was wondering if it makes sense to go to a smaller/midsized shop first then see where I’m at in 3-5 years if big law is still a goal.

The lack of Canadian Big Law gossip and rants are disappointing. Do you all actually like your jobs!?!?

Anyone ever make the transition from corporate/commercial to advocacy? Suffering a crisis of conscience and want to start using my skills to help in a different way. My background is entirely in business and tech. Would love any insight. (I’m a 3rd year)

Anyone want to discuss salary? $145k, called to the bar in 2016, target 1800-2000 hours

Do Canadian firms have any interest in hiring American JDs given the market and that Canadian associates are moving to the US?

Downtown Toronto Insurance Defence - what’s the grid looking like these days? Is 120k for a third year associate (1600 billable) asking too much?

What has your firm’s turnover like? Are people dropping like flies or holdout out for February bonuses? We seem to have someone resigning every week.

Watching US salaries increase AGAIN and wondering why Canadian firms don’t have the same pressure to follow these raises. Is it the relatively small number of big firms? Is it that all the big firm managers work together to keep the market in line? Is it the lack of reporting in the Canadian legal press? I feel like we are all getting screwed.

What are the bonus thresholds and percentages at your firm?

Do most big law firms in Canada have mat leave top ups?

Internationally Trained Lawyer new to Calgary and looking for an articling position or any advice leading towards that. I’ve done a lot of corporate law and insolvency.

Anyone know if any Toronto firms are hiring associates to work fully remote?

Is it a realistic possibility to move from articling at a private firm in Windsor to an associate at Bay Street? I'm currently doing corporate commercial work.

Just got out of articling at a boutique tax firm and looking to lateral into a bigger firm. Anyone have suggestions for a medium sized firm in Toronto with a good tax practice? Thanks!

I really wish the big law firms in Canada were as transparent about their pay and bonus scales as what we are seeing in the US. Does any Canadian firm share bonus scales??

No active posters? Here for the unfiltered gossip!!

How widespread will the great resignation be after bonus season?! I’m thinking it will be wild. I know very few happy people right now and most of Big Law has developed a crap reputation for how they treated people during the pandemic. Just me?

Have you moved firms recently and what was the signing bonus?

When are your offices planning on reopening?
