Wilson vs Cooley bay area corporate (SF or SV)? They’re the obvious two top picks in the region. Any up to date grapevine info on either that would be worthwhile for a midlevel lateral to know? I remember Cooley got a bad rap for being layoff happy recently, but otherwise don’t know much of the on the ground stuff that doesn’t come through on vault and chambers… opinions welcome!

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

Have the rumored layoffs at FIS impacted the Jacksonville office? Seeing that new building makes me wonder!

Most staff/sr assoc would make 80% of salary for the next 4 months if fired & yet firms are considering pay cuts.

Like at this point just fire me idk what kool aid some of you are drinking

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching. First it was that we may be moving to another state for his job, then it was that his brother may need to move in with us for a few months after he graduates

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.

I hear Grant Thornton has been doing more layoffs? We need staff (associates, seniors, managers) in forensics / disputes and investigations in SF if anyone is looking to make a move! Message me

Wieden ny layoffs: what happened?

Thinking about starting an OF... since we aren’t getting raises this year. In all seriousness, I like being watched. But I’m too afraid to be found and get fired. My husband has a job now so maybe I can finally live my dream. Thoughts?

Well 😒 accidentally gave up my rose on hinge to the wrong dude. Was saving it for “the one.” Now this guy keeps texting me. He seems okay - I figure I should prob at least do a coffee date. (Or, Maybe a make out session and some heavy petting in the corner at starbucks? Is that still a thing for first coffee dates?) Will also wear the cologne im buying this weekend! I don’t know how long it takes for my rose to grow back on the app.

Hi All,

I joined PwC AC 4 months back and now I have recieved a job offer form the current client I am working in PwC.
Will there be a conflict of interest if I join the client company? If so after how many months of resigning from PwC can I work for the client company?
I checked my offer letter and no where they have mentioned about the conflict of interest policy.

TIA!

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

It's March, and I have done a lot of seminars in Jan and Feb. I've gotten a few clients but would like to increase AUM drastically! Any books, sites or advice on what I can do for marketing?

For those of you at these firms giving associates base salary raises, what are your billables like? I’m trying to decide if now is the time to lateral from a lower AM 100 up.

Today I tried to tell myself what my favorite thing of being a lawyer is, and the only thing I could think about is when the direct deposit hits every couple of weeks…

Real talk. Are you all the ones buying $188.00 hiking pants, $72.00 merino wool t-shirts, $45.00 COTTON t-shirts, and $179.00 10 oz steaks (2 pack)?

I received a targeted email ad from Huckberry, which I like, but the stuff is really expensive. Maybe I'm just too elder millennial, or not hipster enough... But this ad got me worried that I am saving too much by not spending all of my disposable income on hiking pants. Should I defer student loan payments?

Anyone know any recruiters that work with 3Ls still looking for jobs?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

Think it is funny how recruiters seem to think the vague description "national market paying firm in X city" is at all enticing to one already at a national market paying firm in X city. We're kind of already there, maybe it would help you get us to actually bite if you had anything slightly special to emphasize

I was very well liked at my prior firm and had high hours so really struggling to understand why folks don’t seem to want to come back to me with more work. For those at free market firms, how frequently do you have to ask for work? How do you typically ask? Just send partners emails asking if they have any deals for you? Thanks y’all.

What do the hours look like for Goodwin NY and DC corporate group associates?

Stub here with 3 months in. I work in litigation for a AM100 regional office. No issues with hours yet (45% over target) but just learned a 2nd and 3rd year missed their hours goal this year. Should I seek out projects from the transactional team during slow periods to ensure I hit billable, or is that frowned on?

Does anyone else work with partners who leave their teams on “away” all the time so you can’t tell when they’re actually online?

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).

Does your firm let you take 28-30 December off? Many of my team members won’t be working those days and I decided last minute that I’d like to travel somewhere between Christmas and the New Year.
