I’m looking for some insight into the market for recent grads. It’s been a while since I’ve been a recent grad myself but my younger sibling just graduated from an ivy cum laude and has had no luck in her search for over 4 months. Is this normal? (For more context, she has a degree in economics, about a year of internship experience and is looking for a financial analyst role or something similar. She’s applied to roles through company sites, handshake, LinkedIn, indeed…)

PSA only because this has been asked 3 times in the last 24 hours. No, we don't know when the next big drop is coming. No, don't ask us which stocks to short. No, don't ask us if your 7/17 way OTM puts are gonna be ok. (Hint: they aren't).

Nobody knows the answer and don't take anyone's guess as fact. And certainly don't copy anyone's plays expecting them to be right.

If someone buys an income restricted property and they then get a raise / start earning more than what they originally had at the time of purchase, do they have to sell the property or can they keep it?

Can’t decide on a job offer. Currently employed and have been wanting to do something different. The other job offer is pretty much what I make now but I’d be losing on a lot of PTO. I kind of feel really confused about what to do. The hiring manager actually picked up on the fact that I don’t sound super excited for the job. But I feel like this is my chance to leave and do something different but I’m hung up on barely any PTO and swapping to a complete different industry.

Hello! I have a heavy background in law but was hoping to transition out of it. Does anyone know of a company/industry that would be a good stepping stone to get out of the legal field, but still apply my skills that I have acquired.

When you’re an associate introducing a partner to the court or others, how do you refer to them? I once said “my partner so-and-so” then cringed at what that sounded like and backtracked, “I mean, a partner at my firm …” — do you say “my colleague”? But that doesn’t seem sufficient to acknowledge their title when you’re not peers?

If I want to change practice areas, what is the smartest way to do this? Do I just apply to positions in the relevant practice area and talk about how my skills from my current practice area transfer?

It is common practice at my small firm by two main partners to fly through transactions for clients regardless of potential conflicts (for the company) or issues that may arise. It is often chaotic and has led to lawsuits being filed by investors against the clients. I know this is expected from time to time but I feel like I’m not getting the proper exposure to doing deals the right way. Would it be better at a larger firm or is this common anywhere? Mostly deal with microcap companies.

Is it possible to be both lit and transactional?

We know what big law pays, what about small law folks? Any associates want to dish?

Q’s for hiring partners and recruiters - you know that most associates quit their managing attorneys and not the firm/case. I’m in that boat. What do I say to a prospective employer about the situation of why I want to jump ship?

Very brief background - I’m a senior associate who has been on one complex commercial litigation case for over a year. Over time, the relationships between attorneys on the case have deteriorated to the point that it is affecting my productivity/work. I want out.

Anyone have any tips about Ward & Smith, specifically their Corporate M&A group? Billable hours, general culture, etc. Anything appreciated!

I started my law career in house where I spent two years and just moved to an actual firm about a month ago. How long does it typically take to ramp people up? Getting kind of worried about hitting my billable requirement.

I’ve been having some lower back pain especially after sitting in my office chair. Wondering what brands you recommend

I don’t know who needs to hear this but: you are doing AMAZING....hang in there...everything will be okay...you are a worthy human being who is so much more than their job! Breath. Life is so short.

5th year M&A Associate in NYC. Potentially moving to Sacramento for personal reasons. With all the WFH, does anyone think this will be a career killer/lead to my termination? Know there are some good shops in town, but not familiar with the market and trying to expectation set for myself.

I bill around 170-180 a month. In big law terms, is that on the lower end of what a typical associate bills? I keep hearing that everyone is really busy but I just don’t feel like I am and I am thinking I should take on more cases.

I found out a soon to be 2nd year associate got a 10k raise making his salary 110k now, while I, the soon to be 3rd year associate got a 2k raise making my salary 107k. So now the 2nd year male associate is making more money than me. How do I bring this up to the partners?
