I'm a dotnet professional (~8 YOE) currently earning 17LPA + ESOPS + Yearly Incentives in Kochi, Kerala. I have received offers from Neudesic (IBM) - 27 (25 + 2) | Services | Kochi, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (27 + 5) | Own Product Dev | Bangalore, Publicis Sapient ( 32 + 1) | Services | Bangalore. I'm confused about which one to choose based on the current market slowdown.
Please suggest your thoughts on which company would be better for my career progression as an architect.

Ford layoff news got me thinking: Why don’t corporations gradually increase annual target for separations and freeze hiring, instead of one big X% workforce reduction?

Has anyone gone to a Girls Gotta Eat live show? I love the podcast

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

Low billable, low pressure work in patent lit, tech trans or privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on. Currently a patent litigation associate with lots of hearing, depo and trial experience (I’ve appeared on my own at hearings/depos) at a well respected firm. Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Just feeling the burn out; 2000 hours of billables a year just isn’t sustainable for me long term. Money isn’t a huge issue.

How much do babies cost per year? How much $$ in savings would you ladies recommend before TTC?

My law firm gives me a report that breaks down the amount of billable hours collected compared to how much I’ve been paid on a monthly basis. Does anyone else’s firm do this? At what point do you think it’s acceptable to ask for a bonus/raise?

Is there something wrong with spending time with a new partner on Christmas? I’m away from family and I spent the morning and last evening with friends. Relatedly, if I don’t mind, is there something wrong with putting in a billable hour or 2?

Weird question. Got an offer months ago for a job abroad (not in my country of choice) and turned it down due to the low salary and not being in Europe. I started a new role in NYCsince I got that job offer in a large firm (from a small firm in a small town), started 3 months ago, and I absolutely hate it. Not sure whether I should try this small firm abroad for a change in pace. The new firm swears, “if you ever work past 5 pm here, there’s something seriously wrong. We don’t believe in that.”

Is there a “right time” to have kids in a big law career? My husband and I are considering trying, but I’m (technically) a first year (although I have been at the firm for over a year - had an extra long stub year).

How do you respond to armchair lawyering from clients? I am a public interest appellate litigator, and after emailing the filed brief to a client, he sent me a long email detailing all the things he thinks should’ve been in the brief. He already has ordered me to do things that are outside the scope of rep and is a terrible listener, but as long as I am firm and put things in writing, it hasn’t been bad. How do I tell him he’s wrong and he needs to let me do my job, politely/professionally?

I think I generally do good work… except on one case with one partner. I got added to the case at a crucial moment with no context and no time to get caught up to speed. What I was asked to do was beyond my experience level and it’s been mistake after mistake since then. I just made another mistake this week, which I promptly addressed. Still, I have to call the partner tomorrow to explain. Continued…

Any women with men who are obsessed with sneakers? My husband’s birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get him (not sneakers). Any ideas would be great!

Ladies, talk to me about taxes (so not sexy). If my comp is midlevel biglaw and I marry someone who is also in a high income bracket, word on the street is that we are royally f*cked in taxes more so than average re marriage penalty. Is this true and if so how do you manage(ish)? Does filing separately help? Has anyone come across this issue?

Ladies, how old were you when you met your SO? I’m in my early thirties and feeling a little hopeless. Not to mention this job makes it hard to date.

Pt 1 - am a first year associate in big law and started dating someone the summer I was studying for the bar. My schedule was flexible then. After I took the bar, I had 3 months off before starting and I spent a lot of time with my SO. Since starting, my SO has said on a few occasions that he feels I prioritize my work/friends over him even though we spend most nights together. I obviously try hard to fit in friends when I can bc it is all hard to balance. I feel that he seems skeptical when

What is the bonus structure at your firm? I work at an IP boutique in patent and trademark prosecution. Our billable is 1850, which sounds nice except that patent prosecution is done on fixed fee so you can only bill so many hours per project. Bonus structure is gross salary divided by 1850 times hours over. So ex, $95 hourly x hours over 1850 and then taxed.

Any tips for negotiating severance?

How do you boost your productivity at work? I am starting a new job soon and want to try to avoid procrastinating on what needs to be done, but have struggled with this in the past.

“what would you wear” question here: Thursday @ 6pm cocktail reception/closing dinner with clients and their counterparties. dress code not specified in the invite. err on the side of “workwear” or “cocktail attire”? I’m specifically wondering if strappy heeled sandals are OK or if I should stick to more conservative pumps/booties (plan to pair with a knee length sheath dress + blazer so the shoes really tip the scales one way or another…)
