Where is Trial Lawyer? Haven’t seen him around lately.

Hi Guy's,

How is Mindtree Noida office? Anyone' having experience of Mindtree Noida location?

What Mckinsey roles are work from home, if any?

Am I the only one who fears a third world war is among us? I've been studying the circumstances that led to WW1 and WW2, and let me tell you, we're not as far as they were. I hope the better judgment of people avoids such a catastrophic outcome.

What’s the worst financial decision you made so far? What did you learn from it?

So I get interviewed and they keep me in a queue for a month. Then call me to tell me that I was selected. Then I ask for the job offer letter and they said that it is given in the first day of the onboarding...and now they scheduled another interview with 2 other managers for next week do that I can "meet the team better"..I'm so confused (sorry English is not my first language)

What are some truly awesome companies to work for? I dream of a place where work/life balance actually exists and you’re well-appreciated and compensated... just dreaming?

Howz life in Dell.?

Work life balance
Policies
Projects
Rotations (between projects and technologies)
Salary hikes
Onsite opportunities

Is Windows (vs Mac) really the way to go with Excel? (Starting MBA, concentrating in Finance)

Is it reasonable to be expected to spend 20-30 non-billable hours a month checking your paralegal’s work? (i.e. summarizing hundreds of records and bills). The partner said he “didn’t use paralegals” at his previous firm and eating the time is an “investment in yourself.” Is this common?

I’m thinking about traveling to Miami for the week to work remote. Are the beaches and bars open?

London: possible to negotiate no/a reduced probation period while lateralling?

Anyone know anything about what it’s like to work plaintiff-side? Would it be dumb for someone with stellar credentials to leave biglaw for plaintiffs’ side work?

Nobody has really ever explained much about this side of private practice to me. From what I can tell based on my experience:
(1) their cases are usually really weak (maybe my biglaw defense-side bias)
(2) their lawyers tend not to be as highly credentialed
(3) would offer better experiences for junior litigators

What's your email color coding system? I am struggling with the many colors on outlook and the best way to use them to organize my emails.

M&A- Deciding between V&E, Kirkland, and Sidley all Houston. Leaning V&E because largest firm in Houston. Advice/thoughts?

I need about 100 hours to hit bonus with NO work on the horizon. Fiscal year ends the end of next month. How do I frame this to staffing without sounding desperate? Is it in bad taste to specifically mention I’m only 100 hours away?

If you apply for a corporate job with a recruiter, how does that affect that following-up process?

Why is the tech we have for biglaw so ass backwards. I hate relativity. I hate MS word. I’ve waisted so many hours of my life formatting a doc. and trying to figure out whether a document was produced or not, the bates stamping, and other inane projects.

After clerking, my BF recently accepted an offer from and joined a V50 firm (been there a few weeks). Shortly before his start date, he heard back from a V5 firm (one he’s wanted to join for a while) and just got an even better offer. Practice groups at each firm are also different.

The office he joined for the V50 firm is in City A. The office for the V5 firm is in City B (where V50 firm also has an office).

How should he break the news to the V50 firm to minimize reputational risk, etc.?

My firm flaunts about being involved in the community and giving back. Offices across the country do a day of service where attys and staff do community service. There is a fee/cost for the volunteer activities and the attys are responsible for paying for it.

Now I strongly believe in donating for different causes but this seems strange that a big firm that flaunts about giving back can’t even pay for the meager volunteer cost for each office. Is this normal at other firms?

Any junior or midlevel m&a/capital markets associates not making DPW salary/bonus scale but would like to? My firm is hiring in multiple offices. DM me.

Dear Partner, if you’d actually read the email you just responded to, you’d see that the answer to your question is already there… in bold and underlined. 🤦‍♂️

Looking for insight into associate experience at Baker Hostetler DC. Thanks!

Resume gap- how bad is it? I want to travel and live a little bit of my life. I’m really getting mentally unwell and I have no idea what I want to do with my life, like actually. Someone help

Does anyone have recommendations for Colorado recruiters? Currently a funds junior associate looking to make a move for family reasons.

Transactional associates: do you bill your time while you are up late at night waiting for either: 1) opposing counsel doc reverts; or 2) when someone senior on your team asks to do something, but you are waiting for them to finish so you can do that something?

I am really mad at my firm. Do I complete the Vault survey today or wait until I have cooled off? Today, right?

Got asked to help with a “2nd Level” doc review for a huge case. Seems like the firm was begging for about 50 associates. Staffing partner asked if I can help. My hours haven’t been all that great but I just started 6 months ago. First quarter is allegedly slow based on what I heard from partners. Idk if other associates in my group were asked. I said yes since I need to make my hours this year, but I wonder if this is a bad sign? Also, I’m not in litigation.

Sidley lawyers, how embarrassed are you right now? Sidley is being trashed and laughed at across the nation (and on ATL), I hope all good lawyers at sidley started accepting those recruiter calls that have dramatically picked up in the last 2 weeks (of course this doesn’t apply to the those near partnership).

Edit* so there seems to be a battle of misinformation on ATL with associates and partners/HR saying each other is lying about comp. For the firm to comment they must be very embarrassed.

It looks like I may clear conflicts about a week before I'm scheduled to take a vacation at my current firm. I was told by my current firm that I won't be able to get coverage for all my matters and will likely need to be available to work for a few hours a day during this vacation. How should I handle this? Is it inevitable that I'll have to work during my vacation right before I quit or is there a way to avoid it?
