What firms allow fully remote, including for paralegals? I see lots of remote opportunities for attorneys, but then they require all paralegals in person?!? We bill too so it seems we are just as trackable with productivity. I've been remote since March 2020 (maintaining and even exceeding billable requirements), but my firm wouldn't let me stay remote since I'm moving to a state where we do not have a physical office.

With the CDC releasing new mandates, What are partners seeing from clients? Are they asking for full return to the office? I definitely want to keep staying wfh and not commuting :/

Hi can someone give me an estimate of what a pediatric occupational therapist should be making in a city with a high cost of living. No benefits. Between 30 to 40 billable hours, documentation time unpaid etc. Independent contractor role. Practicing for over 5 years.

I am cloud devops engineer, having 6 years experience in azure, kubernetes, docker, AWS, Linux, helm, Jenkins, terraform. Looking for remote opportunity. Let me know if any leads.

Left public accounting this year after 5+ years and looking for 10-20 hours of flexible & remote accounting/auditing/etc. type work. Message me if you have any opportunities that may fit this description. I would love to help a small business, but am open to anything fitting my vague guidelines.

Hi Guys,

I've heard a lot about Uplers talent. Can you guys please suggest to move on to this place Uplers. Since, they are providing Work from Home culture.

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

Been a coach at the collegiate level for 6 years. Make a $65k salary. Want to leave coaching and break into sales/marketing/recruiting/consulting. I have ample leadership and recruiting experience with a strong work ethic.

I’m assuming I’m going to have to take a pay cut and start toward bottom of totem pole. Any recommendations/advice on roles to apply for since I’m new to the field? Would like to be in tech if possible in Charlotte, NC or remote.

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

Looking to hire a Supply Chain Strategy Manager role at an SF consumer electronics company. 3-5 YoE in consulting. DM me if interested! Location is SF or Dallas but open to remote for the right fit.

Is there an appropriate way to turn down an assignment because it is non-billable? Two of the partners I work for keep asking me to write client bulletins and articles with them, which is great, but now I’m starting to worry about meeting my billable hours requirement.

Do people know if the big 4 are all wfh and onboarding that way as well? Or have they started setting return to office dates?

Sometime I feel like I'm operating at lower capacity than during the height of Covid trying to navigate billables and no childcare/remote school. Anyone else feel this way? Are we just burnt out from all the working nights and weekend in 2020/2021?

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

Looking for remote healthcare opportunities in business ops or project management. Recommendations welcome.

Can you please recommend apps or other resources to develop remote onboarding?

I’ve been offered a reporting consultant job for less than 60k and I bring 9+ years of experience to the role. They should be offering more. I don’t want to settle but I don’t want to miss an opportunity to move. Reporting consultants should start at $65k per recruiting sites. Any advice? How can I get HR/recruiters to offer more? TIA

Found out I prob won't get my dream job ("waitlisted") and literally cried for an hour (I know I am a loser). I guess I didn't realize how much I hate my audit job lol. How have people gotten over rejection?

Partners: Hey HR, we are short of resources and looking to hire a self starter candidate, with good analytical mindset, and should be a hardworker and should not hesitate to work long hours. Also forgot to mention, we are totally short of budget. But since the projects are high demanding, we need someone to get going.
HR: Hmmm... Challanging situation. Let me get back to you in 2 weeks
After 2 weeks...
HR: Happy to welcome, xxxx to the team. xxxx has joined the team as an Analyst

Any other first years out there worry that this virtual environment just won’t be able to teach them? I worry I’m not getting the same “plugged in” experience when I can’t knock on a door or walk into an office. Doesn’t help that my anxiety is heightened by feeling so isolated. The learning curve is high enough as is and I’m not sure I’ll ever learn enough virtually to be useful in big law...am I alone?!?

Does anyone have a good thank you email for a partner after a interview/ virtual coffee

Please provide!

Hi fishes, any openings for SAP consultant in American Express in India

Have you ever been told off by an older attorney of color? We have one Black partner at our firm and in conversation with him this morning he told me I should work on sounding and looking "more professional" and not let my "tone" or "bad attitude" get in the way. I don't think I've ever had a bad attitude at work, and whatever "tone" I'm speaking in it's my normal one. As a Black woman I just feel super weird about it and kind of sad.

Our bonus payout is next week. If i put in my two weeks notice now, will I get my bonus still?

Folks who left Deloitte for competitors,
how many days after official resignation were you allowed to stay?

ACD/writer level freelancer? Have awards and new business pitch experience I’m based in Denver/Boulder.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

Can you name a firm (preferably NY office) that lets its associates work from a different country with no issues? The mid-size firm I’m currently at has been very flexible during covid but I’m looking to change firm (biglaw). Since my family is abroad I find it extremely valuable to be able to do this (I did this even before covid for a couple of weeks, twice a year). I’ve heard firms like Latham and Paul Weiss don’t allow it for tax reasons.

Partners - what was the most stressful year of your career? The year before you made partner? Your first year of partnership? The year(s) you or your partner gave birth?

A first year asked me today how to maintain wlb to make the job work long term. Oh you sweet summer child.

Doing a federal clerkship and thinking of my options after. Anyone in NJ/NY/PA biglaw lit group with collegial and pleasant work environment? I do not care about billable requirements/workload, just salary and don’t want to be treated like shit.

Anyone ever register an expensive car in Montana under a LLC to avoid taxes?

What’s next on your expensive wishlist to make this job a little more comforting?

Anyone else absolutely *loathe* being assigned new client matters at the end of the month when you know your billable time won’t count bc conflicts haven’t cleared yet? Just me?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

Thoughts on recruiter responsiveness? How long do you wait to engage a different recruiter?

Any IP lit laterals getting bonuses over the last year? Curious about Juniors in the 2-4 year range but all data points helpful

How long does it usually take to clear conflicts? Mid level. Around 50 client matters.

Moving from government to BigLaw as a 6th year. Since I'm coming in as a mid-level, I feel like this transition is different than a junior whom partners expect to know little. Any advice?

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

What’s the deal with RFPs? I’ve spent countless [non-billable] hours on several of them only to find out that I’m not included in the actual proposal (the document sent to the client showcasing the proposed case team). Is this normal?

Anyone at Fried Frank know what day bonuses are usually paid on?

Is it a fail of character leaving biglaw? I want to leave, but despite the constant stress and suffering, I can’t avoid feeling like it’s my fault or that maybe I’m over exaggerating how I feel. All my colleagues feel ridiculously happy, I’m the grinch one that’s never enjoying the grind (but the grind is hard and competitive, very competitive) :( any thoughts? Is there future after quitting biglaw so young?

To sleep or not to sleep? That is the question... that I’m contemplating right now. At what point is sleep the better choice in the middle of a very busy week? Will I be more productive tomorrow if I call it quits and actually get a full 8 hours tonight? Or do I keep churning out half-assed work product until the wee hours of the night in hopes of catching up, since I’m already two days behind where I need to be?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.
