When did partners decide that outsourced admin services are a good idea? They’re terrible. You lose more time doing stuff yourself and correcting mistakes than the amount you save with outsourcing

MS degree completed 4 years ago, and currently enrolled in a T15 EMBA program.

Managers, what do you do to keep stressful projects from hurting your work/life balance?

The internet is a cruel place. I searched for some home exercise equipment and instead I’m getting targeted ads for clothes that are more flattering to fat people.

So the internet is convinced I’m going to fail☹️

Non-tech person here: does anyone know how to download salesforce icons that can be used in PPT?

Anyone know of any hotel chains that have properties on either Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard?

Anyone ever worked with Pulse Point? Honest thoughts?

Cool company swag that you have received and actually use?

I met two of my three aides for the first time today and they have been nothing but miserable the entire day. How could I promote a more positive environment without directly calling them out?

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

IAPP is such trash. Why does everyone recommend getting the CIPP certs when they mean nothing??

How do you properly vet a law firm? I feel the associates I speak with talk up the firm and aren’t always candid.

What’s the difference between Issues vs Findings?

Anyone work for GoDaddy and would like to recommend me for an accounting or analyst role?

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.

Are tech trans hours better/more predictable than M&A?

What do you think is the acceptable cutoff time for when it’s no longer reasonable to expect an immediate response to email? I’ve been getting only a few hours of sleep for the past few days. Finally had a night where things seemed quiet and I fell asleep at like 8:45 pm! I woke up at around 6 am to a full inbox and I felt kind of stupid for missing 9 pm emails because that is a really early bedtime (but boy do I feel better this morning!).

Thought we would close today. Thought we would close tomorrow bc it was just a funding issue. Now im watching partners fighting over random things on an ancillary doc and being nasty at each other. Eating 🍿 but i want this deal to close

Does anyone here know any good recruiters for Boston? Not looking to move, but want some intel (and feel awkward reaching out to the recruiter who placed me here).

Trying to lateral and the conflicts clearance process could not be more frustrating. I'm at the point where I'm becoming resentful and annoyed at my new firm and I haven't even started. Is this indicative of my future experience there or completely unrelated?

Can y’all please consolidate all of your Partner Track comments into one thread? 🙏

I’m a second year associate and last night I was online until 2:30 AM waiting for one specialists comment to a purchase agreement. I had added all comments during the day from everyone else, and the midlevel and senior were online as well, but it seemed very strange to ask me to stay up just to add three sentences to a purchase agreement. Is this normal?

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long? I’ve always just submitted each timer as soon as I finish a task—“call with x re y” really doesn’t take that long even if I’m busy, and if I don’t do it immediately I’ll forget all those little I did in the morning by the time I go to bed. No shade at all to those with different systems, just genuinely curious because I see a lot about catching up at month end on here and I have no idea how that works??

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

Any NY/NJ firms looking for healthcare corporate/regulatory/transactional associates? 2019 grad. Barred in NJ but planning to take the steps to get admitted in NY. Please PM if you’d like to discuss further or if you have any advice you can offer!

Anyone here deal with Phantom Share Agreements? Would that be in the wheelhouse for an ECVC lawyer? My BIL is being offered a job with a company and received a proposed phantom shares agreement. One condition states that he must remain in good standing with the company even after the 3 year vesting period to receive distributions. Is that atypical?

Did you make a mistake working in BigLaw? Why?

Real estate / real estate finance associates, is everyone still crazy busy or are you noticing a bit of a slow down? I’m at an Am Law 20 and was crazy this year through most of the summer, but have seen a pull back in workload / deal flow the past few weeks.

What do you wear when your firm sends you to do law school recruitment? (I’m a woman fwiw)

The biggest lie you've told during a job interview? And did you ever get caught?

Which big law firm in Dallas has the “better” work life balance?

Those of you who have transferred offices at the same firm, how did it go? How did you present the request? I am a junior hoping to transfer from a satellite to a larger market’s office.

What’s the difference between an inefficient associate and a high biller? I know one is bad and the other is good, but aren’t they usually the same?
