What are some fun activities to do with your partner mentor? One-on-one, like dinner, massages, sports games, etc.

Any New York attorneys come across any interesting or helpful case law lately? Reading a recent update, there was a decision that said where a parent uses a temporary order of legal and physical custody to exclude the other parent, it's within the Court's rights (with other factors) to interpret that as an inability to coparent and award custody to the prior non-custodial parent. Share away!

Any tips on how to encourage a friend to actually take action to get in better shape rather than just talk/complain about his weight? Trying to be supportive, but getting sick of listening to the complaining with no changes made. Thanks 🐠!

I want my ex back.
I'll never find someone as great as her.
Especially not with this attitude.

Why do I care what others think of me so much? Esp family members I want them to think I’m cool and confident, and invite me to other things but feel I over speak or people please. How to stop?

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

I am in a relationship for 3.5 years now. .
We both love each other. Used to enjoy the company emotionally and physically. We took it bit slow as it was 1st relationship for both of us.
For initial years we tried various stuff on bed and we both enjoyed it thoroughly.
And finally last year after 2-2.5 years of dating when we were comfortable enough, we decided to have sex.

But, after many unsuccessful attempts we discover that she might have medical condition vaginismus

CA attorneys: I have a client who got a court order that the kids are supposed to visit with him (kids are in another state) and now it appears that the kids may not follow the order, client already paid for their flights. Any suggestions on what to do? Ex parte? File the order in the other state to enforce the order? Hold the other parent in contempt? Thanks!

29F. I’ve become burnt out on spending my free time with people I don’t enjoy being around (i.e people who I feel relieved to leave after spending time with them). With that said, I’ve started to distance myself from my dad, 2 aunts, childhood best friend, and other friends. Has anyone gone through something similar? I just can’t get myself to muster the energy to be fake when I’m around them, but I feel guilty that I’m basically cutting them out of my life and am nervous I will regret doing so.

Once I proposed an open relationship to my LDR boyfriend and he said no because he didn’t want anyone else. Found out later on he was incessantly cheating. I laugh every time I remember because I still cannot believe the audacity.

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+. I've seen a lot of nice black suburbs in southern and eastern cities but less in the midwest. In an interracial relationship and want to get an idea if there are any suburbs where our kids would feel represented or if we'll need to move down south for that.

Hi Chicago - just moved here from the UK (via 7 years in Germany) and looking to make some great new friends.

Moved to River North and into trivia nights, most sports, movies etc and would love to find some people open to adding a city newbie to the group!

42m if that matters 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

Started this bowl because I unexpectedly lost a parent years ago and it still affects me to this day. Wanted to create a safe space, ie a group where people who are going through similar experiences can vent and realize you’re not alone (: welcome to the party!

How do single folks (living with roommates) in San Francisco/NYC areas arrange for their parents’ stay with them, when they are visiting from home countries? Want to have my retired parents come and stay with me in 2022 for 2-3 months and looking for creative ideas to make their stay comfortable. Thank you :)

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

Super serious sexy question. Wife and I are mutually busy and ambitious people (workout out, grinding at work, side hustles, saving money etc). We’re very similar in our approach to life, which is why we love each other so much, but as a consequence we have both felt like our s*X life has almost taken a back seat because we get swept up in our immediate day to day. How do y’all approach setting time for and/or prioritizing your s*X life? Open to all tips

I have two kids and expecting my third - a 10 year old and a 5 year old. We live in NJ and work in NYC. We currently dont have a 529 plan for our kids; also not sure whether 529 is a good option for college education savings considering NJ doesn’t get a deduction for it; what other options are out there for college savings funds. My hubby wants to save 50k each for our older two kids in next two years but we are completely clueless where to put this money for a good return and get tax benefits.

In your agency, you do a review with Client Servicing team or just CD? Who set the reviews, you, CD or the CS team? Here CS team set all the reviews, I'm working and a review just pops for next day 10 am. It annoys me. Feels like they are the boss when should be us, creatives, scheduling when we’re ready.

What are your average billable hours? Month / year? What type of practice are you in? Are you on the Cravath scale? What associate year?

Need some feedback, I am lateraling into an associate role at a top 25 law firm after several years at government and corporate jobs & have concerns about the background check.

I haven’t made much money in the past few years and have accrued significant debt from credit cards & personal loans, some of which was to help out family during COVID. My credit utilization is at 90% & I’ve been making payments on time. Credit score is at 580 after being at 780 before law school. Will this ding me?

2017 grad so technically a 4th year. Lateraled to a CRE boutique in NYC that’s a major player. Learned quickly that my experience/knowledge/organization is not up to par (was a COG in the machine at prior firm). Just had EOY review and, though positive sounding, they’re dropping me to a 3rd year to ensure I’m not billing as a 4th year and able to do the work to learn/get up to par. I feel pretty okay about it (market salary deduction notwithstanding), but want to make sure I’m not being naive.

Anyone have recommendations on best way to completely newly-admitted CLE requirements? Thanks in advance.

Thoughts on Winston & Strawn NY?

Anyone have recommendations for firms with good general corporate practices or that encourage associates to work across different corporate practice areas? I’m a second year M&A associate looking to broaden my skill set in my next role.

NYC to $200K?

Anyone on here practice Labor & Employment law? What’s the industry outlook? And are firms/salaries as bimodal as they seem? I feel like there are four to five heavy hitters and a ton of other firms that claim to do the work. Where should I look if I wanted to lateral? 2 YOE at a V50.

I am returning to a job that pays near market (yay!)—for class of 2018 folks, what is your take-home looking like? Thanks!

DLA Piper culture? Interviewing there this week. Thanks :)

Anyone with insight into Allen & Overy Corporate/M&A? Curious about type/volume of deals, culture, hours, etc. Feel free to PM me too. Thanks!

I’m a 2nd yr. in M&A (if relevant: I’m billing on average 176 hrs, lowest month was 144, highest was 281, not getting paid market about 20-30k below). I’m considering a lateral move to Latham. Would love insight on the M&A group and the NY office as a whole, specifically culture but any insight or advice is appreciated.

Hi! I’m a first-year associate working at a large regional firm. I attended a well-ranked, but regional law school and my grades weren’t stellar. School was never very motivating for me, and I put way more effort into internships and networking than my studies during law school. Luckily, I love to network and landed an awesome job at a big firm. Eventually, I’m hoping to work in-house. My question is this, will my grades always follow me? I’ve heard that with time and experience, not so much.

Anybody work with Wegman partners during their lateral process?
