Hi Fishes,
1 doubt. We usually get a call before the interview scheduling, for discussing our experience, skill sets, etc., At that time itself, most of the recruiters ask for our cctc & ectc. Then they schedule the interview and further rounds.
So my qn is, can we change the ECTC during HR disc. from what we mentioned in the initial call (before the interview)

Been working freelance for the past year and I've made more money and connections than I did while at my previous agency. This is a life tip for young creatives: you value your own work, don't let anyone else do so.

Hi Friends,
Just wondering in the Netherlands how is LoonZorg for expat insurance? The deal seems too good to be true as the premiums are a fair bit lower compared to other providers.

Thanks!

Stupid me thought Accenture is different. Like any other consulting firm, some MDs literally gave away their soul to the devil once you got promoted.

Steve Wozniak isn't afraid to critique Apple devices, and said he couldn't tell the difference between the newly released iPhone 13 and its predecessor, the iPhone 12.

Hi experienced folks need your suggestions:
I am in a functional role where I need to work mostly on ppt, finding insights and a lil bit of cognos, SQL and python.
I have knowledge of data engineering and ml as well but not used in my role.
The most important factor is I am saving more than 2 lakhs pm in the role as it's onsite. Do you recommend to search for opportunities or continue in the functional role?

Maybe I’m just realizing I’m lazy… but do y’all ever get assigned an actual, hard research or drafting project and realize you don’t like the effort? Like plz let me go back to doc review.

Does anyone know what the onboarding process is like at K&L Gates? I start in a few weeks and I'm curious.

Let’s talk speed reading. I’m a slow reader and listened to a podcast recently on speed reading. I’m intrigued. Who here speed reads? How did you learn those skills, and what types of documents do you speed read in practice? I do mostly litigation and am thinking that speed reading would help with research but maybe not things like doc review where you need to review for both responsiveness and privilege.

Instant thoughts on Servants of the Damned?

How does compensation change by foregoing partnership at a firm and going in house? I’m a 2nd year trying to understand long-term earning potential

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

Would it be a bad idea to request another deferral from my firm to clerk for another year for the same judge given the rumors of layoffs?

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

Currently clerking, but have accepted a post-clerkship offer at a biglaw firm. Thoughts on whether the firm would give me a referral bonus if I refer one of my friends and they get hired before I officially start?

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

Dreading my first year review. I don’t think I’ve done anything to make myself fireable but who knows! I think I have a lot to improve on though. What’s the mindset you take with you into reviews?

Any white collar defense attorneys care to share a day in the life? Best part of the work? Worst part of the work? Always been interesting in that area and want to work my way into it once I get off of leave.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

“Keep costs down”???? I am happy to keep costs down by not working on this ducking matter anymore. Maybe stop saying yes to matters that are too small to justify our rates and staffing an expensive senior person on them when you’re already dying trying to get anything staffed. You didn’t have to do shit on this matter, didn’t hear you complaining about my taking the lead and managing everything for you when that was happening. >.>

Do you think sticking it out in BL for 8 years pays off as far as in house prospects/salary go? Or is it all kind of the same after a certain time period. I’m in privacy if that helps (all aspects-trans, regulatory, lit).

How do you bill your time? The busier I am the harder it is to bill. How do people actually bill contemporaneously in detailed terms when you bill 12 hours but literally did 100 different things in those 12 hours. And it’s never slow enough to go back and do it super detailed.

There’s a practice group that I’ve been trying to find work in but whenever I volunteer to help, I always get roped in to do non billable work. In the beginning it was fine but now I’m feeling it’s never going to amount to actual work. Any tips to get more involved without all the non billables and how to approach this gently?

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
