Hi

Is there any vaccancy in Accenture (Bangalore Location) for Semi-Qualified CA (Articleship if done from Deloitte)?
If there is any kindly let me know.

Has anyone had experience working in Talent Exchange with PwC? Drop your pros/cons below. Got an exciting opportunity to work in a tech area of interest for me. Want to know if it’s worth sacrificing a long-term job (which I just got an 11% raise and have a good relationship with my Career Manager/Job Leader). Thank you in advance fishbowl 😊

What is the EY interview process like if you are a boomerang from a different EY entity? Is it easier to get an offer?

So here in CA there is a lot of talk about certain jurisdictions doing virtual jury trials. As a firm we won’t agree to it and if push comes to shove we’ll take it up on. Writ. What is everyone else’s opinion?

What’s the most unprofessional thing you’ve seen in a deposition recently?

Agree or Disagree?

How often are hiring committees? Does it depend on the group?

Hey Peps,

Looking for an opportunity for Line Producer or Senior Production cordinator in a firm where I am respected and work life balance is promoted no slave working.

Just wondering, any Ismailis out here?

Any advice on going from Corporate Tax (1120 Tax Returns, ASC 740 (Prov Preps/Audits) to Transactions Tax? Senior 1 currently.

Potential new job is flying me across the country….for a one hour interview. Red flag? Or just a formality since they want me to relocate so I can see what it’s about?

How far did CFA take you? Is it respected within IB? Would love to know if it was worth it for everyone

Anyone here ever been to RCA? Is it worth it ?

Step by step math support tools, websites or apps for upper elementary?

Anyone out there use Assistments? If so, what has your experience been?

What is the best way to reach out to the attorney in charge of recruitment even when there are no posting available that fit your qualifications — but you still want them to keep you in mind?

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).

Anyone have any favorite office decor or personal items? Trying to think of things to make my office less boring now that I'm going back in.

Feel free to share anything interesting that you've seen as well.

Currently thinking plants and potentially wall art.

Has anyone ever mass applied to jobs with the sole requirement being minimum compensation of $500k

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

Which practice group in your firm seems the “happiest” and seems to enjoy what they do? M&A appears to be the most miserable at both firms I’ve now been at…

Someone needs to explain to me why I need to urgently (like yesterday) explain a matter to the people running the specific part of the deal (noting to them that OC’s request is nonsense because Y) only to be copied two days later - “my colleague X will provide”.

I wish I had even a tiny fraction of the energy I had when I first started this job

I, a childless woman who does not plan to have kids, am jealous of the parental leave parents get to take from work from choosing to have a child (a big life event). I 100% understand that they are working in a different way by taking care of the baby and being deliriously worn out in the process, but it makes me sort of jealous that unless I have a kid there is no life event that I can take ~3 months away from work to focus on and enjoy, plus have my hours prorated and a job to come back to.

Was interviewing with a firm and soon after receiving an offer, learned of bad culture/toxic partners in the practice group from a couple of associates who recently lateraled from the firm. I turned the offer down. A partner that I clicked with while interviewing reached out asking me why I turned down the offer. Should I be honest and relay what I heard?

Do big law firms typically need references when you lateral from another big law firm? I don’t think I suck at my job but haven’t made close partner connections at my current firm so not sure who I would ask.

Looking to help a first year attorney lateral to a firm in LA that specializes in L&E defense, or has a good practice team. Any recommendations on teams that have a hiring need?

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.

Does anybody else get that anxious feeling in their chest when their workload starts to pile up? When my to-do list fills up and the timelines start to get tight I really start to seize up and I think this is how I’m going to have a heart attack in my 20s.

Just lateraled into big law from a boutique corp firm. I’m a mid level. I’m struggling to understand what is and isn’t billable. Do people actually bill reading emails? How do you describe that? Anything else I should bill (and how should I describe these things) that aren’t as obviously as like actively drafting?

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

Did you make a mistake working in BigLaw? Why?

Any news on vedder price? I’ve heard they didn’t fire anyone during COVID but have also heard it’s a sweatshop. Any insight to their litigation team would be helpful, thanks!

Thoughts on Wilson Sonsini LA office? Interested in retooling from m&a. Anything about culture, the work, people?

How would an attorney working in big law position themselves to become a “super angel” investor?
