What's up with senior associate gunners? Does joining and signing up for everything really make a difference in making partner? I'm a senior, too, but I'm way too busy with work and business development to do extra nonbillable work.

Process chemists/scientists! What was one interview question that you received when you interviewed with your current company? And what's one question you would ask a potential candidate during their interview?

Such a business case type question, but I’ve been wondering how much watch revenue has been influenced by this bowl over the past couple years? Anyone else wonder the same? Shooting in the dark but I’d guess probs $10m or so

Has anyone struggled with hire right before ? How impacting is this for the process?

Hear me out! I left my 15 year career in the corporate world to pursue being a realtor.1) It was never boring
2) It was the most challenging
3) It was extremely rewarding to be able to help families find their dream homes

Those who missed the TS&A FY21 session held today, Quinney told us there were only 12 promotes (2 of which are new MDs). TS&A has approx 200 people in it. Time to order a case of wine!

Serious question: what do you think today's solidarity walk out accomplished? 💁🏻

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

This should be a good way to get us started, and it's CUFFING SZN PPL !

(Jokes aside insha'Allah we will meet our target of one successful engagement out of this)

Does ibm give any Diwali gifts?

I am looking to buy my first property soon - preferably new constructions (anything except condos) anywhere in Ontario/Canada. Any suggestions where I can turn to find new construction projects? I understand I need an agent. Until I find a good one, I am looking at the houses myself. Any suggestions where I can get information about new projects happening in the province?

How does compensation change by foregoing partnership at a firm and going in house? I’m a 2nd year trying to understand long-term earning potential

It’s looking bleak, but are any south florida firms hiring juniors for com lit positions?

Has anyone used or heard about Flagstar Bank for mortgage? Seem to have a great program for JDs, wondering if anyone has any bad experiences or good experiences with them

I'm up for election next year. Kind of feel like I'm in Squid Game right now.

I've signed on to this, I'm really close to the end, but at a certain point I feel like I just want to check out of the game (and go in-house or something).

Has anyone at GT not hit their hours in the past?

Do you always feel tired? How do you have energy for anything with this amount of work.

When BigLaw attorneys interview students, how soon afterward do they give feedback? What kind of feedback do you give as an interviewer at your firm (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, thumbs up, thumbs down, veto)? Does everyone get in a room or do you just submit the forms to one hiring partner, and/or to a black box? If you don't click with the student, what would make you still give them a thumbs up? Sorry if my questions are a little neurotic... !

I’m a first year that’s inching toward second year. Partners in my group say “sometimes getting thrown into the deep end is the best way to learn.” However, I feel so lost. I feel like saying the above is just an excuse for not wanting to take the time to actually teach new associates.

Whats up with these rumors of six-figure associate bonuses at Skadden?

Mid-level when she's leading the call: please make sure you take notes. It's expected of the person not leading a call (note I always take notes)

Me(jr): asked to lead a call for a different deal as training. Mid-level doesn't take notes (also on call) and tells me it's the job if the junior to take notes.

Anyone have an Echo device in their office? I really like having them at home but I’m not sure if I should have it at work.

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.

“Keep costs down”???? I am happy to keep costs down by not working on this ducking matter anymore. Maybe stop saying yes to matters that are too small to justify our rates and staffing an expensive senior person on them when you’re already dying trying to get anything staffed. You didn’t have to do shit on this matter, didn’t hear you complaining about my taking the lead and managing everything for you when that was happening. >.>

How do you justify a $100k pay cut to go in house?

Got staffed on an investigations matter and was asked to draft the letter. I added everything the senior associate said to and I still got a rewrite. I’m a mid level at a new firm, so I feel particularly awful about this. Feels like I’ll never be a good lawyer.

Anyone worried about firms over-hiring? Our firm has hired a LOT of people. I know we need it now / the past year, but will this bubble pop?

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

Looking for some encouragement. Has anyone here received an overall negative performance review or has been put on a development/performance plan and was able to turn things around for the better?

Am I the only person who gets skeptical when a recruiter calls, like did my law firm send you to see if I’m interested in making a move? 🤨 I may be paranoid, though. Lol

Any big law associates looking to transfer out of Texas in light of the new laws repressing women's rights? My firm has an office in Colorado and a group of 4-5 of us have been discussing transferring today. Rent/Housing is roughly the same in the two states.
