What sort of due diligence do you conduct on a firm/practice group/partner before accepting a job offer? I’m very tired of the gulf between promises made during the interview process and reality

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

I had a great coffee chat, during which the employee offered to refer me. I sent him my application materials on Friday. How can I know if my referral has been submitted? How soon is too soon to follow up? I’m worried about the posting closing.

In house interview- I am going to hopefully the final round of interview to meet the whole legal team. I was asked about my availability, and it will take 5 hours if in one day. Should I split to multiple days? Will it cause any issues? Anyone on both sides can speak from their experience? Thanks!

Hello.. I work as a product specialist and have experience of leading projects as well.. I’m looking for a project manager role.. I need advice.. If you’ve applied for an opening in a company, is it okay to apply for another opening that is a similar role or same role - different location.. This is while I’m still waiting to get a status update on the first one..

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

What does it mean when you still see a job link being re-posted, after you’ve had several rounds of seemingly positive interviews for that specific job?

Does anyone have a resume writer or career coach they could recommend? Feel free to PM if easier!

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.

Hello,
Does internal transfer happen in EY GDS service line? I am in International Tax and not liking it here just within a couple of months of joining. It’s a lot of back office work that is very frustrating and stressful. Have experience of Individual tax (US) for a little over 2 years and an EA. Also, does the pay scale vary?

Do we think SAP is a dying ERP and won’t be able to compete as more “custom” SaaS solutions that are more tailored to a customers needs are popping up more frequently and a lot cheaper?

Planning on staying in Japan in November for a week! Any recommendations on where to stay / things to do? Also, got some SPG points (<100k) I want to use!

Any Jewish New Yorker looking for your jap? Hi.

Hello! I joined a company in the UK 6 months ago, and received a £20,000 gross sign on bonus - clause associated to this however was that I stay for a minimum of 12 months. Unfortunately, the role is really proving to be the wrong fit, and I am looking to leave.

Question for you all - if I resign, I assume I would be expected to pay back the sign on bonus despite me only receiving approx 12k after tax. Anyone know the process for a tax clawback for something like this? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone started their own side hustle such as an e-commerce business?

How do you give notice in big law?

Looking for some encouragement. Has anyone here received an overall negative performance review or has been put on a development/performance plan and was able to turn things around for the better?

It's super frustrating to be "time poor".

That's seemingly just the nature of working in Biglaw.

But every day you have the option to buy back your time.

How do you buy back time?

It's simple—by saving and investing.

And you don't need to be uber wealthy to regain control of your time.

Consider this…

Question for funds folks, since no one is around to answer any questions and I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Why can't a placement agent combine or integrate the offering of interests in the sponsor's fund with the contemporaneous offering of interests in another fund? Is it based on reputational risk or from a sales perspective in case someone rejects both funds, any other issues? Thanks!

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

On the transactional side of things, what is the expectation of Associates to start bringing in their own work, or start developing their own book of clients?
When they are mid or senior level?

Can y’all please consolidate all of your Partner Track comments into one thread? 🙏

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

Thoughts on getting fed government jobs? I'm a first year associate in a specialized transaction group in DC and I fucking hate it. I had an internship at a federal department in school but after that went 2L SA/firm. Any hope of finding something? Right now my plan is to just start spamming USAjobs and hope something eventually sticks.

Thoughts on Steptoe & Johnson? Particularly DC office. Considering applying. Thanks!

Are tech trans hours better/more predictable than M&A?

How many interviews is too many? I’ve done 5 one on ones with different people in the practice group. They want me to talk to a few more, but I’m frustrated. It’s so hard to find time to schedule these things and the associates don’t seem to understand I can’t just take them in the middle of the work day at work. Recruiter thinks it’s a good sign. FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.

Which is more painful: watching litigators draft contracts or transactional attorneys litigate?

Does anyone know the salary for a 3rd year junior associate at Squire Patton Boggs?

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm? Like is there a perception of us being a step down or ancillary to the big leagues of NYC or not? There’s generally a perception here that L&W and K&E are the only US firms where London can even begin to compete with stateside in terms of generating l work organically but would be interesting to know what you all think? Be brutally honest.
