Who are the most insane, crazy party people in the industry who somehow still manage to find - and keep - success, despite their reputation?

I get where you're going with this but don't agree that the crazy ones should be defined with a negative connotation (maybe not your inference but it is my interpretation).

As long as they care about their people, good at their jobs and aren't inappropriate, i'm all for the crazy party people!

Be there in body, let the brain catch up as you take notes, nod, crack a little quip.

“Ha! This guy gets it!”

Smile and nod again. You feel like death. But you’re in control. The conversation switches to “campaign integration.” Let the social people argue with everyone. Wait for your moment.

“It’s a balancing act.”

They nod their heads. This guy gets it. He’s funny, taking notes, understands that campaigns are indeed a balancing act. The argument ceases. We move on to timeline.

Inside ... your ate up from your proclivities. But to the outside ... you are a valuable member of the brainstorm.

Now go yack in the furthest bathroom. Go eat chicken fingers. Life is good. It’s a balancing act.

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

I am thinking beyond just verifying if the candidate is not lying on the current salary but what if they don't even have the budget to what the candidate has asked as expectation.

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager. They like “home grown” talent and I “be worked hard and risen relatively quickly (AGC in 9 years). I work hard and get a lot of complicated deals done (structured products and private funds). I can’t shake certain people (in compliance department mainly) thinking I don’t have enough experience to do what I do because I didn’t come from a law firm. Any advice?

Hey everyone, I got a call from Deloitte recruiting on Wednesday of last week discussing salary requirements and location. They told me that the team really liked me and that they were going to work on an offer. I got a call on Friday saying one group has approved the offer but they are waiting on others. I haven’t heard much since then. Should I be worried? How much longer will I have to wait?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
