How do i see my utilization?

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?

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

Got Differentiating rating and progressed from senior 2 to senior 3 in business consulting. How much hike and bonus I can expect?

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

My mental health has suffered tremendously over the past month. I have a therapist that I probably should see more of but I’m jobless and need to save. I am an aspiring entrepreneur with an inspiring business idea (to me lol) but my anxiety and depression is hindering me severely… fuck my brain. Any other founders here? It’s f‘ing tough.

I need to get a new laptop, my 2015 MacBook is on its last leg. I need something that can handle cinema 4D and Adobe Creative Suite. I assume I’ll probably have to get some dongles.

Any recommendations?

My vet told me my dog is pretending to throw up so I can give him extra attention… I can’t believe he trained me to give him attention 😂😂😂😂😂

Looking for a lighter/puffer winter jacket and figured at this point I’ll wait until they go on sale. Does that ever happen with Barbour, Patagonia, Northface etc?

Thoughts on preferred pronouns in your email signature?

Hi all! Wanted to tell you about @smarterinasec, an Instagram I recently started. Every day, I do a deep dive on one topic + provide content recs on that topic to read, watch, & listen.

Is "attention to correspondence" an appropriate description for the 17 hour block bill yesterday? Asking for a friend.

Archer: Any idea what Archer & Greiner would pay a 4th year associate in NY or Philly? Are they on a fixed pay scale or is it different for every associate. Any insight very appreciated!!

Ever get so bored that it feels exhausting to do work, even a simple task?

Best fall vacation destinations on a biglaw budget?

Those of you who have transferred offices at the same firm, how did it go? How did you present the request? I am a junior hoping to transfer from a satellite to a larger market’s office.

Has anyone heard anything about Up or Out? Got an invite a couple of times, but trying to figure out if this is a scam or something.

Which big law firm in Dallas has the “better” work life balance?

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Thought we would close today. Thought we would close tomorrow bc it was just a funding issue. Now im watching partners fighting over random things on an ancillary doc and being nasty at each other. Eating 🍿 but i want this deal to close

Stop asking if we can unionize after being asked to work over the weekend.

I've worked with the partners I report to, but not so much outside of my practice group. Is it normal for an associate to request a partner to do something or request information?

Do I look crazy if I’m sending emails with revised drafts out at 3 am? I can’t help that I’m more productive at night…

Single BigLaw-yers, how often do you have sex? How the hell do you even have the time to meet new people?

What item has been your favorite purchase for your home/apt?

When law firms lay you off, do they always give the standard 3 months salary and 3 months on the website? I’m looking at very likely being let go I think and I’m trying to plan ahead.

Thoughts on recording meetings. In Texas and have ADHD. I’ve been recording internal meetings for the past couple of weeks and my work product has improved exponentially. I’m able to go back and listen to the directions over again. In law school I had a note that gave me permission to do this. Is this taboo in a firm?

Who’s still on the old DPW scale? 🥲

What does your out of office email say when you’ll be away from your computer and only sporadically checking email over a long weekend?

Does your firm let you take 28-30 December off? Many of my team members won’t be working those days and I decided last minute that I’d like to travel somewhere between Christmas and the New Year.

Trying to lateral and the conflicts clearance process could not be more frustrating. I'm at the point where I'm becoming resentful and annoyed at my new firm and I haven't even started. Is this indicative of my future experience there or completely unrelated?
