Anyone here from Deloitte? Trying to get involved in the LGBTQ+ community there but having trouble finding one... any and all suggestions are welcome!

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…

I probably should have choosen USI

It’s feeling impossible to find a long lasting mentor-mentee relationship, especially when agencies are understaffed, timelines are ridiculously short and the best in the biz jump ship every two-ish years…

What's your fave restaurant to take people to when they are visiting? And why?

Should I explore job offers while most business are still remote? Or should I stay where I am until going back into the office is an option and than explore job offers?

I just think it would be hard to start a new job remotely. THOUGHTS?!

I took a job for a company that is remote, but has an office in Westwood so I'm thinking about moving to LA. Where should I consider living? I'm 28, fairly extroverted and active. I'm looking for places that are balanced in activities, bars, concerts and has some nature. Also would love to live in a newer or updated building if possible

When negotiating a sign on bonus with a new firm based on the fact that you were anticipating a bonus for that fiscal year and are leaving before that is paid out, do you have to do anything to prove you would have actually received a bonus/the amount of bonus you would have received?

What do partners generally expect from third-year litigation associates (smaller firm) as far as legal, professional, and/or case management skills go?

If I’ve already agreed to a start date on 11/28 how bad would it be to reach out and ask to push it to 12/5?

Recently hired Patent Agent and wanted to know if I am being fairly compensated and utilized. Training lasted a couple days where I immediately got assigned to draft +2 patent applications and +1 office action responses each week. Have no experience with 3D modeling programs so drawing diagrams and figures take a long time too. TOC < 80k and no annual bonus.

Curious to know what other firm's bonus structures are, particularly those with billable requirements of 1900 and below. Trying to understand what the norm is and figure out if associates at my firm are getting screwed. thanks

If you despise work, remember that you are far too intelligent/valuable to spend another second doing something you hate. There are so many opportunities out there for you, in the law or elsewhere!

What are the odds of getting into Big Law after being an associate at a boutique in a small market? I clerked right out of law school and am now joining a boutique firm with the hopes of gaining experience quickly. While relocating isn’t an option right now, I have considered trying to move to a larger firm in a larger market in the future. Has anyone else done this?

Have a call on Friday with the CEO of an environmental entrepreneurship non-profit. It could lead to a professional opportunity and maybe even billable work I can refer to my firm down the line. I’m going in with an open mind but little concrete information on his entity and goals and ways I could get involved. What questions would you ask such a person?

What would you prefer:

Job 1: 85k at small boutique firm (3 attorneys). Standard benefits but no 401k. Semi-annual raises. No billable hour requirement and regular 40 hour week. Being groomed to be a partner on a 2-3 year track.

Job 2: 135k at large regional firm (200 attorneys) good benefits. 1900 billable hours requirement. Partner track is 6-8 years but not guaranteed.

Both located in a MCOL area

Considering becoming a consultant lawyer. Any advice/tips from someone who made that move?

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

Anyone else feel like work/billable hours gets in their way of taking care of their life? Hate having to choose between working to keep up with billables and taking care of my life whether that's the gym or whatever else. Feel like I never have enough time for both.

That feeling when your old firm was racist and didn’t offer parental leave and is now putting on a show of how woke and family friendly they are. 🤷🏻‍♂️
