Been for a while. Unless you’re doing Saudi aramco deals, not much going on.

You can add as many zeros to a deal as you’d like. If your firm lacks a true PE practice or a thriving public company practice active in strategics to fill in the gaps between the big public company ones, attorneys at all levels will be starved for work.

I am not one to bash someone I don’t know, but I find it highly doubtful that one of the longest institutional public company and law firm relationships is about to crumble, and the news is being broken by a recruiter on fishbowl

likefunny

I think my general point was that, as a recruiter, I most certainly do not know all - especially when it comes to whether a top firm is on the verge of losing its biggest institutional client.

I wanted to get people's opinions on leetcode, codewars etc when prepping for interviews. I am a junior full stack dev looking to move to a better paying junior role or a mid role and honestly these style of questions have always stumped me. I have found that in a year of work to have never found them useful in tackling real world issues. Now I'm moving from a junior to a mid can I still expect leetcode style questions?

I work mainly with react, TS, node, graphql, mongoose and mongoDB.

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?
