Guys,

Curious to know what's the salary range for Junior Engagement Manager in Workday consulting for overall 9 year of experience in India at big 4?

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.

I’m a 6th year funds associate at a v10 and thinking of lateraling. Anyone have any thoughts on Willkie funds? How are hours right now? Culture? What kind of signing bonus are they offering these days?

Anyone willing to provide a referral to Perkins EC/VC preferably remote but willing to relocate to NYC. Thanks!

3rd year associate. Former fed law clerk. Working at ID firm. Doing slip and falls and wrecks. Recently received big law offer to do products. Really want to go. Gave notice to current firm. Current firm really wants me to stay, counters that it will try to get me salary as close to big law offer and give me complex work. Stay at ID firm or accept big law offer?

When, if ever, do you add “Esq.” to your name outside of work?

I’m currently in a minor dispute with a company over a credit card overcharge and am wondering if I should have added “Esq.” to my signature in my complaint email lol.

4 months in as a first year associate and missing my billables every month by 20-30 hours. (Should be billing 158, I end up around 132). I never say no to work and I’m constantly asking for more work - should I be concerned? When should I expect to bill enough?

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

White collar folks - how busy are you guys now?

(I’m not really sure since I’m a first generation lawyer) I know clerking is generally considered a great opportunity and learning experience and prestigious (?) Is it also the case working for a Senator?

What do capital markets BigLaw associates do when they go in house?

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.

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?

Does anyone else intentionally under withhold to smooth out annual cash flow? I feel like it’s fine as long as you remember to set aside enough of your bonus for the tax man. Gain time value of money, still pay the gov when it’s due. But it feels sketchy for some reason.

Anyone else love the movie Carnage? I feel like the lawyer (Waltz) and investment banker (Winslett) are so accurate to the personalities that you meet in our strange world.

1st year. I have a decent amount of client email/phone interaction. One partner frequently asks me to communicate with clients, and the partner tells me to ask if I have any questions before emailing the client.

I almost always respond to the partner with my thoughts and ask partner whether P agrees with my thoughts, prior to emailing client. At what point should I be skipping that step and just email client? I’m worried about making a mistake, but most of the time P agrees with my “draft”
