What do you folks consider a reasonable monthly rent as a single Big Law associate, limited to true 1-bedroom apartments in Manhattan? I'm a mid-level associate on market pay. I'm a little squeamish at the notion of paying more than like $4k, but everything I've looked at in/below that range is kind of sketchy or involves terrible commutes to midtown. Is it too indulgent of me to pay around $4,200-$4,300 in rent every month?

How many others use the weekend to catch up on work? Feel guilty have almost no work life balance.

What is the best objective source for determining whether to get the COVID 19 vaccine? Looking for sources and raw data and documentaries. I’m not looking for opinions I am looking for references to a variety of medical authorities. I have masked up this whole time but admittedly have not done any research other than what I heard in the news. So now I plan to approach this as an objective question to answer like I would any thoroughly researched legal question.

That moment when your coworker says he's seriously thinking of driving for UBER on weekend nights for extra cash. Is he overreacting or are we on a sinking ship?

Do you feel like you are fairly compensated for the amount of hours you put in?

What type of questions should I ask to ensure I cover my basis and have all the information I need to make a smart decision. This is what i have thus far.

Most likely getting fired, tips on how to find a job ASAP? I made a pretty big mistake that required supplemental filings with government offices to fix (missed some items when reviewing/comparing long lists of things across 20-30 years). It’s fixable and the client isn’t really getting hurt by this (worst case signing gets delayed), but my anxiety is telling me to prepare for the worst. Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?

About to quit my job after 8-9 months for another Bug Law firm. Never passed the bar though I’m pretty sure I will. What do I put on LinkedIn for the time at my current job? Should I put Associate or Law Clerk, what’s the standard approach?

Have an associate 2 years junior to me with whom I work frequently.. they seem to make an intentional point of not responding to my emails (but promptly responds to client, partner, etc), but 75 percent of time will eventually do what I ask. It has become a distraction. Generally I get good upward reviews - I’m respectful of juniors and expect them to have a life, etc. I’m unsure why the passive aggression. Any tips on handling or do I have to just deal with it? I’m worried about a confrontation

Senior transactional associates who have recently moved to a V50 firm - looking for intel on size of signing bonuses above 100k??

Thoughts on giving your two + weeks notice after you’ve been told you’re receiving a bonus (and it would actually be paid while you’re still at your current firm just after you’ve told them you’re leaving)? Or does everyone just wait until their bonus actually hits their bank account? Being able to give my two weeks early/mid December would be a lot better for me but don’t want to jeopardize not getting my bonus (which comes usually 3rd week of December).

Has your firm changed billing policies recently? A lot of talk of firms asking for daily time reports...

I don’t understand why my firm was so outspoken about the BLM protests and supporting our POC attorneys, but is basically silent on all the hate crimes in our city against AAPI. Anyone else’s firms cherry picking what causes to care about?

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.

From Rome to New York.
