Would you stay at a firm if you could bill only about 1600 a year with 240k pay? Wondering if worth lateralling to a market-paying firm or staying. Mid-level/Senior feeling like I am leaving money on the table and wondering if the grass is greener.

Is it mandatory to WFO for 3 days in TCS? And is it necessary to work from base location? If i work from open ODCs , can i just work from any tcs office in any state?

Has anyone tried to buy two single-entry Vietnam e-visas that are close in date to each other? I was wondering if buying a second one cancels out the first.

Would you move to a more expensive 1 bedroom apt in the city (upper west side), or stay in your 1 bedroom apt in the burbs of NJ, with lower rent and just invest in buying a luxury car instead?

Whenever I consider buying a designer handbag, I consider how much sputum I've suctioned for that amount of money. Anyone else?

Man, what Wall Street Bets pulled off was just epic! :D So tempted to throw in some of my monies to stick it to the hedge funds and then donate any gains to charity.

Would it be a good idea to participate in my employee stock purchase program? Details below

Hi Folks. I am a single and planning to move to Seattle. Need some recommendation if 130k is good enough to live comfortably in Seattle.

Just to get things started around here… what are your go-to restaurants to entertain or just take the family?

Are customer engineers allowed to work from a country other than US if needed for a few days ? I am planning to visit India for visa stamping and I won’t have much PTOs to take.

Can someone recommend affordable health insurance? I left the firm earlier and am expecting a gap of medical coverage until I find a job. Currently not actively seeking either...

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

Can someone explain to me what law clerks are in private practice? I'm based internationally but deal with our NY office a lot, and I can not figure out what the title actually means/where it sits.

“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. >.>

Are we allowed to dish on how ineffective recruiters are? I’d really like to Yelp bomb a specific recruiter for being so ineffectual, unresponsive, negligent, and ghosting

Is the lateral market still hot? Any of you interviewing/ lateralling soon?

Do you remember when “office closed due to inclement weather” meant you had an easy day at home because remote wasn’t a thing yet? Now with a foot of snow coming, office closed means wfh with no backup childcare available….

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

Firm didn’t really want to interview me, but decided to speak to me anyway. I have now made it through all the stages of their process, but are other candidates. Chances good for an offer?

First year associate and I may barely hit 1500 this year. Requirement is 2000, though i know first and some second years at my firm don’t hit it.

I am a in a small specialist group who has 2 partners, and they both give me work. One of them said to not worry about my hours (though they do not know how low of a number i’m projected for). Haven’t asked the other.

Should I be concerned?

Quit quit quitttttyyyy time!

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

I'm up for election next year. Kind of feel like I'm in Squid Game right now.

I've signed on to this, I'm really close to the end, but at a certain point I feel like I just want to check out of the game (and go in-house or something).

Anyone work in tech and blockchain? What exactly do you do?

Any of my corporate M&A lawyers feeling the deal flow slow down a bit or just me?

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

How often does your firm give out branded swag? Anything good lately?

I had to eat a lot of class years when joining big law. I didn’t go T14, didn’t get a summer job in big law, had to work my way up and finally got here. I’m at a great firm doing the exact work I like doing. Now, all around me, colleagues who graduated with me or after me are getting promoted and I’m still a long ways away. They all deserve it. But I can’t help but feel jealous and angry about the uncertainty ahead of whether I’ll make it there and how long it will take. Can anyone relate?

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job. Thing is, I’ve been incredibly frustrated with the firm - I’m buried in work and billing like crazy, but there’s zero transparency on financials and zero communication on bonuses (...)
