Working on a legal opinion as a junior associate. My role is drafting the opinion from precedents, doing diligence on enforceability of the underlying transaction docs, and communicating with the client regarding any diligence needs. A partner is reviewing/revising my draft and signing the opinion, in addition to second-level diligence. Nobody else is staffed on the matter

Is it too presumptuous to include my initials along with the partner's initials below the signature block on the draft?

Hey all! Heading into my 4th interview at a global SaaS company this week. I have a year of product marketing experience at a startup (I'm owning all PM efforts for a massive product), and the role I applied for asked for 3-5 years of experience.

Any tips on how I can prep for these interviews? They're with a few Sr. Product Marketing Managers on the team. I've already done an HR screening, call with the hiring manager, and deeper dive with another Sr. PMM.

Any advice is appreciated!

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Left MBB 2 years post Mba to pursue equivalent pay and amazing wlb in a “big old tech” strategy team (think IBM, Dell, HP). I thought boring work would be fine in the context but after 1 year it’s getting to me. How would you think about exit timing to avoid “leaving too fast” but also avoiding becoming branded as an old tech guy? Does the old tech experience look bad for FAANG-like prospects?

Any suggestions for what to do if you’re assigned to a project and can’t keep up with the work? I’m a new SWE (transitioned from a career as a paralegal) and need a LOT of help- starting to feel under qualified. What to do?

As an EA, does it make a difference it your coach is a manager or a senior manager?

As a technology consultant myself, turnover in this profession has become an important topic in my career and the primary focus of my doctoral research at Saint Leo University.The below survey will be utilized for academic research and no personal or employer identifying information will be collected.This quick survey should take 5 minutes to complete:qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6AtJUChjyqNQfbg

Hertz gurus, I rented an intermediate car from Hertz and got a Toyota Corolla. Is a Toyota Corolla really intermediate?? Seems like it would be compact or economy.

What would you do/expect in this situation?

Newly in-house. Apparently, it was bad to offer my opinion that slightly differed from the managers, even though I was invited by said manager to review their suggestion with an internal client. We collectively discussed how to make a document better. I responded to an email that said "hey you and internal client - could you both see my suggestions (which differed from the clients). Internal client didn't really agree, so I said "can we add managers edits but keep some of clients edits"

A woman here: just accepted a fantastic job offer and managed to score 4 of them being unemployed during the search. I want to reward myself for the hard work of owning my career. But I don’t want Hermès, Chanel, VCA or Cartier as it feels like an empty purchase now with all the wfh. I thought of new Balmain blazer, but again WFH. What would you buy for yourself as a reward? Extra points for sustainability. No Tesla, please; I hate the way they treat their employees.

Any thoughts from everyone on AnOrdain?

For my mid/big law friends in Philly - looking to lateral (corporate/M&A) and only moved to the city last year so I don’t have much knowledge on the firm cultures here. If you like your firm, I’d love to hear about it. (red flags are helpful too).

Colleagues - Does anyone have any link to a good template for a Retainer Agreement for a Paymaster role ?

I just accepted a position negotiating transactions. I have lots of negotiating experience, as well as drafting experience. But I did that mainly litigating matters.
Can you describe the likely transition to all transactional? I have 24 YOE. I did this for growth. I’m also working on an MBA. (Hoping for leadership roles in the future).

For the junior associates out there, I’m a 2020 call and am convinced that I’m taking a lot of time while working on deals. I’m also not really sure how my efficiency compares to other associates as I’m the only junior in the group. The junior partner I work with primarily always tells me to rack up my hours but I’m also afraid of looking inefficient with the more senior partners. Does anyone ever write down their own time? Or is ashamed of how long it takes to draft say a direction to pay?

I feel like I am so inexperienced in my job that everything takes so long to complete and get used to. Hence, I constantly feel guilty that I am spending a lot of time on my tasks and I am not adding enough value especially given the cost that clients pay for our time. I also fear that most of my time will get written off at the end of the day by the matter managers. Is this feeling normal and does it go away?

I have about 2.5 years in litigation. Looking to switch over to transactional. What should I expect during the interview process?

First interview at a biglaw firm. Just graduated and want to pursue transactional areas, no prior experience. I feel like I’m a risk of a hire in their eyes so any advice?

How do you handle awful, difficult clients? Feel like I'm at the end of my rope with a couple.

First year here. Compiling sig pages for a deal, for 4 different agreements. I’ve finished drafting the sig pages for one agreement. Do i still go ahead and make the changes (whereof clause and the footer) for the other 3 and then submit everything, or submit this first one, finalize changes, then do the other 3?

The list I have for sig pages is not 100% complete/I know there will be some changes based off of my questions… just making sure I am efficient here
