For background, my company hired me and 6 other sales people back in August 2021, I’ve had 3 different VP of Sales since then, have literally 2 customers on our product in my vertical. Marketing and product are horrible, the CMO is the CEO’s daughter and she’s only ever worked for my company.

Can we be honest for a second? No one has a clear policy for how we should be billing our time and no one wants to ask. I’ve heard perspectives ranging from, “a good faith estimate at the end of the week is sufficient” to “you need to have a timer going at all times and if you don’t turn it off when you pee, you’re committing an ethical violation”... also, “Bill anything that moves the deal forward” vs. “You can’t bill for collating documents. That’s not legal work.”

Got called out by a fellow associate for not “pulling my weight” on a deal when I’ve been drowning and billed 250 this month (buried in other deals) relative to their 160. 🤪

How frowned down upon is it to use the same cases cited to support an argument in a memo written by another firm if your argument for your case is very similar?

What kind of signing bonuses are litigation associates able to get when lateraling currently? I know corporate is more desperately in demand than litigation, but I've seen some signing bonuses for litigation. Class of 2018.

Also, I remember seeing a recruiter sometime ago whose model was to share part of their fee with the associate (sort of like a rebate real estate agent). I can't seem to find anyone like that on Google now, so I'm wondering if anyone has any leads on that.

Assuming a firm does not match or rematch the DPW rates. Does this strongly influence candidates preferences to work for a particular firm or when comparing two job offers? In a candidate driven market, curious whether the salary wars have much of a bearing!

0 billable hours this week. I’m a recent corporate lateral (2 months) and have reached out to the work coordinator and other partners/counsel but still nothing - should I be concerned?

2nd year here: just got reamed multiple times by a partner in a checklist call for not having enough detail in my open items list. Thing is the draft i had sent the midlevel was far more detailed, they told me to remove it all and make it as barebones as possible. Do I just take this L? I'm pretty annoyed because the partner mentioned it TWICE in the call with clients for my lack of detail.

Midlevel didnt apologize or even acknowledge this issue. I've never been so mad in my career.

Anyone worked remotely from Europe or Asia but stayed on local time? How was it? Did partners care?

There is a good case for higher year end bonuses this year. All in comp is down in 2022 taking into account special bonuses last year. So unless PPP takes a real hit, I’d like to see a modest bonus increase. Doubt PPP is going to be down by that much (in many cases not at all) for the top 30 firms. And with firms trimming fat, that should mean higher bonuses for those that are left. Idk about the rest of you, but my firm feels as busy as ever (M&A).

Any insight into Winston NY M&A/PE? Billable expectation, clients, team dynamics, partners etc. Thanks!

Partners: how many hours, including billable hours, do you need to work for a year? More than associates’ hours, or less, or about the same?

Any thoughts on Proskauer’s and Debevoise’s PE/Funds groups?

I’m a first year. I got a random email from a high level partner asking me to basically handle an entire and very complicated matter that is not my practice area. In my 11 months since starting, my work has been limited strictly to my assigned section. I don’t think this partner (whom I’ve never met) even knows I’m a first year. What should I do? Continued:

Are signing bonuses still a thing? For a 7th yr M&A associate in major market / top firm? Not wedded to my current firm and scored a six figure signing bonus a year ago. Wouldn’t be opposed to another large pay day (and ramp down / ramp up hours) now that I’ve passed the claw back period.

I’m currently a third year in my small firm’s life sciences team. I’m not really stimulated by the work and although they say they have a lot of work, they’re not good at managing workload. I haven’t had much work on my plate even after asking many times for more than six months. I’m ready to move to a larger law firm. However, I am concerned how I’ll manage the workload as a mom to a toddler. The good thing about my firm is that they’re flexible with hours. Anyone have experience balancing?

Wondering about potential exit/in-house opportunities for different practice groups. I’m currently in big law and choosing between general corporate deal work (M&A/PE) and tech transactions. Do either of these give better in-house (or other) opportunities later on?

Alright I’ll say it. Associates based in New York City should be paid more than other offices.
