Folks onsite,

Are you all satisfied with US and USI raises?

Hey Nurses!!

I’m starting a weekly podcast where I (a nurse) have long form conversations with other nurses. I don’t want the podcast to feel like a formal interview, but I down to earth, comfortable conversation.

I’m looking for 10 nurses who’d like their voice to be heard!

I want to talk about the problems in nursing, the solutions, stories, culture, what you want other nurses to know, everything.

I’d love to talk with ALL TYPES of nurses! Message me if you are interested.

Anyone prepping for the SHRM-CP test? I’m taking a prep course this fall and would love tips or to know if there are any study groups out there!

Which is more useful in a HRBP role…data analytics or project management?

I’m trying to get a rotation in FDD but my partner is worried about temporarily losing resources in our advisory practice. So, what are some things I could learn in FDD that I could bring back to the advisory practice that might convince the partner to let me go on rotation?

Are A&M seniors really equivalent to B4 Managers? I am up for promotion this year to M1 and am interested in joining A&M but I’m hesitant as I understand A&M would only bring me on as a senior

Hi

Did anyone join EPAM Anywhere under this fixed ctc pay structure instead of Flexi structure? Please respond. I need small information

it’s disgusting to see in this city how people pay more attention to the dogs homeless people have than the people themselves - it’s dehumanizing and makes me sick when people give a strained smile to the homeless person while patting their pup like come on

Can someone from EY please refer me for job requisition id :183082

Anyone commute on PATH from NYC to Jersey City or the other way around? What part of either city do you live and where's work, how long is your commute, and do you feel like your commute is practical with what you're getting in return, or do you wish you lived closer to work?

I am concerned with fulfilling billable hours requirement. I’m required to hit 2100 hours yearly and I’m at ~1,500 hours and I think I’ll hit 150-180hours this month. What will happen if I don’t hit my targeted amount by the end of my year.

Hi Sharks,

YOE - 1.2 yrs

Remote work is fine too.

TIA.

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.

Partners - what was the most stressful year of your career? The year before you made partner? Your first year of partnership? The year(s) you or your partner gave birth?

Any corp associates looking to move from biglaw to a boutique? My firm remains busy and is looking to bring on a couple associates. We’re all either hybrid or fully remote, and that’s here to stay. 1500 billables and we’re serious about it. Work is primarily ECVC, Outside GC, M&A. Pay is roughly 30% biglaw haircut, with incentive bonuses for hours and originations.

“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. >.>

Is it easy to switch from niche litigation like ip to something broader?

Curious - would you consider a lateral move to a lower ranked firm if the practice group is higher ranked than at your current firm? In other words what’s more important - firm or practice group ranking?

I’m a second year associate and last night I was online until 2:30 AM waiting for one specialists comment to a purchase agreement. I had added all comments during the day from everyone else, and the midlevel and senior were online as well, but it seemed very strange to ask me to stay up just to add three sentences to a purchase agreement. Is this normal?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Anybody work at Womble Bond Dickinson? If so, do you like it, what’s the culture like, etc?

How long did it take for you to provide your conflicts to the new firm for a lateral move?

Are tech trans hours better/more predictable than M&A?

When your seniors aren’t motivated and pulling their weight, it shows and demotivates you. It’s a domino effect. How do you handle these situations? The senior pushes every single thing down and it’s clear to everyone this person could care less. Makes me not care and not want to do anything either…

Great Idea: Let's mandate RTO industry-wide to kick off flu season.

Kleinberg Kaplan thoughts anyone?

How is K&E 6th yr NEP different from NEPs at other firms? Also internally, how do we know if a partner is NEP or EP?

Serious question: what was biglaw like back in the 90s? Did ya'll have big cellphones and catered lunches? How is it different for associates back then versus now?

Lateral that just went through first bonus season with the firm. Not in a major market but workload is comparable to major markets. Surprised at how low the bonus was. I received solid reviews and my annualized hours were well above the requirement. Should I approach anyone about this? Wondering if it is worth addressing or if it could compromise my standing. Thanks in advance!

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

Are there any books or other resources that mid levels/seniors/counsel/partners on here have found helpful for the project management / managing junior attorney aspects of your job?

I am not finding a lot of stuff written for lawyers specifically , but there is a lot directed at “managers” in business generally that I imagine could be applicable.

My husband and I are thinking about taking a 6 month career break to travel. Career suicide or worth the risk? For context, I’m a 4th year big law associate (30 years old and no kids).
