Thanks!

Question for other VCs, are you guys doing much financial modelling? During my interview I had to do the whole 9 yard, Dcf, comps etc. However after month 3 I have a feeling we do not really model at all - more just projecting what biz could look like with assumptions up to next stage of funding. What is it like elsewhere?

Hi Nagarrians,

I had my tech F2F round today and I prepared very well on both my domain and tech perspective. But the interview was very simple and unexpected questions came up. Though I answered them I didn’t find a good vibe in the interview!!

SOS to anyone in the Austin, Texas area! About to be 3rd year associate with experience in financial services, bankruptcy, regulatory compliance (mostly consumer and bank focuses) and litigation. Can’t stand my tiny firm after being here for over a year. Keep making it to final round interviews for roles (in-house, mid-size firms) I’m probably a bit “under-qualified” for but no luck. Looking for any advice on firms/companies to look at. I’ll also happily accept any jokes to make me feel better.

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?

I am an android developer with 10+ yoe and I want to move to another company. I got calls from Robert Bosch a couple of times for an Android Architect post. Has anyone attended this interview. If so, how hard it was, and what were the interview questions asked. Please do let me know.

Hello guys. I had an interview im Cognizant recently. They conducted a telephonic technical round.

How many interviews are normal before you get an offer? I’m looking to make a switch and have been interviewing with 3 companies for more senior roles. Each has at least 5 rounds + 1 recruiter call. I don’t remember this being the case when I got my last job several years ago.

I made it to the final round of a recruitment process for a Content Marketing Manager position at a big multinational company in the food industry. I now found out they interviewed another candidate and are going to take the next few days to make their final decision. It's just down to thr 2 of us. What is something creative I can do to stand out at this stage? Would be happy to hear your personal stories too or just your general advice. Thanks!

Hi,
What is BGSC Pune 2 and BGSC Pune 3 difference?

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

Hi everyone. With respect to advisory service line, which Big 4 has the best Work life balance. Coz clearly EY has no WLB.

Feeling a bit frustrated as I am making a lot of mistakes. I am a first year at a V10 corporate group, and I keep making mistakes when under time pressure or multitasking on 3-4 deals. I have sent wrong documents, made typos on emails and understood the assignment wrong every now and then. I am worries I come off as incompetent even as a first year.

Any recommendations for resources for updating your resume? Don’t want to ask my peers at the firm for theirs in case word gets out that I’m a flight risk.

Any other senior associates find this job insanely difficult?

Senior associates in litigation-based groups in Big Law: How much autonomy do you have in your cases? What can you do without partner approval? I can at least email clients about certain things without partner review, but otherwise partners review everything else that goes out the door (motions, discovery requests/responses) and generally do all of the court hearings and mediations, and most depositions themselves.

I’m thinking about lateraling and wonder if I’m way behind as c/o 2013 at a V30.

Is it crazy to give up a counsel role at lower tier biglaw for an associate role at higher tier biglaw? Pay (and hours) would be slightly more as an associate. It’s really more about better practice fit. Asking for a friend. 😅

Anyone else have colleagues who ask for things and give no sense of timing? As in “here are the other side’s edits to Agreement X. Please review and give comments.” In this situation, there are no norms or context at play (e.g., the transaction is at an early stage). I just got hit with two of these on Friday night.

Me: "We should say X and not Y in this letter, because I don’t think we have sufficient documentation to say Y"

Partner: Sends letter saying Y anyway

Opposing counsel: "It is outrageous that you are claiming Y without any documentation!"

For any litigators who have gone in-house in a transactional role, how do you feel about your decision? What do you miss and what are you glad you left behind?

So my ex just joined my law firm and I’m trying to decide whether I should send a “welcome to the firm message” to make sure he knows that I know that he’s there.
For context, I summered at this firm and have been here for the last three years, it’s a V20. He was at a different firm and then clerked twice and then I guess lateraled over here. I’m pissed because we agreed never to speak again, but then he shows up here, knowing full well that I’m still here (we’re still linked in connections).

I feel like I’m so late game with this...but getting a solid office chair is a WFH game changer. Any other things that folks have found helpful? I know things are opening up, but I have a feeling WFH is gonna be a mainstay

I’m considering a lateral offer in lit between a V10 and V50. The V10 has the brand value, but I got the impression that I would just be another cog in the machine there. The V50 is similarly well regarded in my specific practice area as the V10, and I do think if I want to try to make partner I should go to the V50. Does brand value particularly matter? I’m coming from a V50, and only considering government or staying at the firm.

When I hear the fact pattern — oh I know exactly how to try that case. They are going downnnn

When I am writing a brief/memo in the aforementioned fact pattern — god grant me the serenity to accept the things idk 😭 and the courage to change the law if I can and the wisdom to know the difference

Steal layoffs at V&E. Various offices and practice groups. Definitely avoid and currently in process of lateraling from NY office. Also has been a lot of turnover lately in NY, Houston, London, etc. Plus, pretty toxic firm overall.
