what's the vibe at greenberg traurig Chicago? real estate particularly.

I miss being able to innocently and naively fall in love and trust that things will work out. After being so disappointed twice in a row i just feel like now i cannot trust guys anymore and what they say. :( once u learn something, you cannot unlearn

I’m seeing prices for watches that used to depreciate heavily pre-2020 - but suddenly began to hold value because of the Rolex craze - tank like crazy. IWC, Panerai, Omega etc. you name it. Finally!!!!

Have a final rd coming up at ZS. Can anyone shed some light on examples/what to expect for the presentation and “unstructured case”? TIA

Would love to get insight into the level of attrition that you see at PE firms.

How many new analysts/associates can I expect for a GE fund to hire each year? I understand each firm/office has varying needs, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around why anyone would even consider T2 consultants, even at the consulting-friendly shops.

Not enough MBB consultants interested in PE to fill all the ex-consultant spots? Personal goal is to build a fighting chance to exit into GE or MM PE

Hi Friends,
What is the average salary rage for Principal Engineer in Verizon. Thank you

Hello Toronto Tech folks. A major tech company just ended my contract as Senior Project Manager for a major bank’s wealth management department because of not enough work due to holiday season. The market is on freeze. If you know of anyone who’s hiring a Senior Software Project Manager then please share referrals. I have seen some roles at BMO

Goodbye XRP! Thanks for the awesome gains and good luck hitting that absurd $100B market cap 😁

Did anyone else get a ridiculous rent increase this year?

Hi fishes, could any one help me on how to withdraw of money and how much can be withdrawn ?

Can you name a firm (preferably NY office) that lets its associates work from a different country with no issues? The mid-size firm I’m currently at has been very flexible during covid but I’m looking to change firm (biglaw). Since my family is abroad I find it extremely valuable to be able to do this (I did this even before covid for a couple of weeks, twice a year). I’ve heard firms like Latham and Paul Weiss don’t allow it for tax reasons.

Any other first years out there worry that this virtual environment just won’t be able to teach them? I worry I’m not getting the same “plugged in” experience when I can’t knock on a door or walk into an office. Doesn’t help that my anxiety is heightened by feeling so isolated. The learning curve is high enough as is and I’m not sure I’ll ever learn enough virtually to be useful in big law...am I alone?!?

I have a clerkship with a bankruptcy judge in a major jurisdiction beginning in September. If I stopped working in April, is that too early or can I stop whenever? I’m not in RX now, but I want to join a major RX group after my clerkship. I’ve been working at the same firm out of law school, so almost 2 years.

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

Anyone else absolutely *loathe* being assigned new client matters at the end of the month when you know your billable time won’t count bc conflicts haven’t cleared yet? Just me?

Best recruiters for moving in-house?

My goal is to save 300k by end of 3rd year. HCOL. Do you think I can do it? Or maybe 5th year?

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

Explain to me like I’m 5. Why does the monthly billable hours goal on things like Intellistat change month to month. I’m not hitting hours this year. Last month goal was 158. This months goal is 180.

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.

Opinion on Quinn? (Would prefer an opinion from people who actually work there and aren’t just bitter from opposing them)

I’m a third year in corporate and want to switch to tax. Am I too late? How do I ask my firm?

Would love to hear thoughts on this one. Asking your firm to make sure the hotels at retreats stock quality 0.0 beer or other sober-curious-friendly options. Super progressive or super needy?

I’m a first yr in NYC biglaw (2nd yr in Fall) — is 3.2k for one bedroom in BK (think downtown BK, carroll garden, Williamsburg) too much? Always have lived in manhattan so I’m not sure what reasonable rent for one bedroom in BK is.

Thoughts on Ogletree as an associate? Salary/day to day life

Does anyone have a good thank you email for a partner after a interview/ virtual coffee

Please provide!

For those that made partner (or NEP but where it basically means you’ll be equity eventually), what was your favorite gift you received? Trying to decide what to get a close (work) friend!

What does it mean when a partner gives associates, especially junior associates, origination credit? Practically, I don't think it makes a difference except maybe for bonuses, but I'm wondering if there's any deeper meaning than extending gratitude?

What does it mean if there’s a NEP at the firm who’s been there for a long time (20+ years), but never got promoted to EP? Never held leadership roles too. Does it usually mean EPs does not like the NEP enough to get promoted?

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.

All this talk about firms doing stealth layoffs has me spooked. Any BigLaw firms in Dallas doing this? I’ve noticed some surprising associates leave my firm over the past couple of months and suspect at least some of them were ice-outs…
