What could be the consequences of not logging in 8 hours daily from office. I've a new born and can't be in office for 8 hours for 3 days a week. I talked to my manager and sounded like they are going to be pretty strict about this going forward.

Last associates committee meeting is coming up. Partners have asked each associate to come up with... not one... but FIVE marketing ideas. Other than reeling out “we offer competitive pay” in job postings, what are some good ones your firm does?

I’m struggling a bit. If I knew how to market well, I certainly wouldn’t be in this position.

Those in ID at regional firms: what are your billables and how do your bonuses work? I’m curious to see where ours are in comparison. 2,080 requirement.

I’m moving to a new firm in a few short weeks. I’ll obviously be missing out on bonuses in December at my old employer. What are your thoughts on asking for a prorated bonus from my old firm? My instinct is to leave it, but does anyone have any experience or guidance on this matter?

What practice area does workers comp lead to? In my thinking it parlays well into L&E but am I wrong about that?

Is Spain still a hotspot for good/cheap 2D animation production? Any studios to recommend?

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Investor’s Business Daily: worthwhile?

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

What firms are pushing/expected to require/have formally required return to office after Labor Day?

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

Please rip apart my investing plan. Am 24, already max out retirement and have 150k in cash I need to invest. Planning to invest a chunk each week for the next six months. See proposed portfolio in comments—>
