When will finance work slow down…!! Getting tired of having no weekends..

So I went back to school... Know how this app is a good place to talk salary because you can't at the office and need anonimity? Apparently that now applies to grades too. Just an a professor take admin action against me for making a poll about other students' final exam scores. Wtf 🤦‍♂️
I'm not crazy, right? It's not wrong to talk grades with classmates?

Anyone considered doing an MHA after getting the CPA and some b4 experience? Would healthcare consulting/ healthcare admin be a good middle career? Would you be a good candidate for a hospital CFO/COO/Executive?

What’s the best way to figure out if I’m getting paid market rate as corporate counsel for a large tech company? I’m at $150k, 7th year, handle any and all legal matters that arise in our company (a subsidiary of a global telecom company w $11 billion annual revenue) along with three other attorneys including the GC. We all work our butts off and I just don’t know how to figure out if I’m getting paid fairly for it.

Well personally never heard of Fjord, lol... so definitely Deloitte Digital (but then I'm new to this end of the pool)

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

(1/2) Who else has had to learn the hard way never to blindly trust a partner’s initial review of a matter? I was tasked with drafting a motion to challenge venue as the partner on it stated there was none as the alleged conduct occurred in a different state (our state had a very particular venue rule). Accordingly, I get to drafting, find a case I think helps, and submit for review and file. Lo and behold, I don’t even notice the rule at issue was amended such that venue does exist.

Hi everyone, have a noob question here. When did you share the pregnancy news with your employer? Not sure when it’s optimal to do that. :)

Any feedback on Freshfields in NY - specifically their litigation department? Many thanks in advance.

I don’t understand why my firm was so outspoken about the BLM protests and supporting our POC attorneys, but is basically silent on all the hate crimes in our city against AAPI. Anyone else’s firms cherry picking what causes to care about?

From Rome to New York.
I work in Kpmg as a legal specialist (before I worked in BigLaw for 1 year) and I have just passed the NY bar exam (plus I have the gc and an LLM). I am sending my resume to big four and big law trying to get a job offer but I just did one interview. Any tip or advice? What are the firms that would find my profile interesting?

Recent lateral to Firm A; 10 days in I got an offer from more desirable Firm B. I rejected it out of loyalty and now hate myself and my decision. What do I need to do to go back to Firm B?

I’ve been in NY biglaw for almost 3 years now. Was given the opportunity to go to a satellite office to help build the practice. I have the option to return in 2 or 3 years if I don’t love it. Would you take it? The pay is a bit more.

🐠: if I am searching for a 2nd lateral within 2-3 months bc the initial move was a poor (*^%!) choice, what are the magical elegant words of neutrality and diplomacy to state in an interview?

What firm has the best benefits? I know most firms don't match 401ks, but do any allow mega backdoor Roths? Heavily subsidize healthcare (either paying all or most premiums or large HSA subsidies) or gym memberships (I'm talking like 80% equinox memberships)? Do any firms have official sabbatical policies for associates? Long vacations? Actual 1800-2100 hour expectations (corporate) rather than being told you're below average at 2250?

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

one thing I do not do is pick up the phone before 9:30…after 7 years, you would think they’d learn.

Recently passed the NY Bar. Looking to explore big law opportunities. Links or referrals will be appreciated. I am also licensed in another jurisdiction. My Resume will be made available upon request.

Is it possible to negotiate the penalty for breaking your lease before you sign one? I’m looking to lateral to another City but nothings nailed down yet. My lease is up for renewal next month.

Work for a firm who fudged the special bonus (not special as expected to hit hours in order to get it - was about 50 hours off). Billed 1850 cf 2000 requirement for year end bonus and looks like anyone not hitting won't get year end bonus. I'm not expecting a full bonus (and do not want to come across as entitled) but feel like deserve something for the work put in over the year, gaining recognition in legal publications across my speciality and being seconded to client. What would you do?
