You didn’t hear it from me but the strike at Facebook is because a policy manager or something like got fed up with conditions and basically cursed out the whole policy leadership all the way up to Nick Clegg and Mark Zuckerberg. Please god bless us all with the audacity.

Looking for suggestions on a topic that’s probably here all time:neighborhoods.
I want to look for an apartment for my own (no roommates) that is east of the 405, not overly crowded with unhoused people, and safe enough for a single woman to walk around. Looking to spend no more than $1800 because I’m cheap. Any thoughts?

What kind of accommodations can I ask for especially since I work from home? I am having an extremely hard time with the pressure and time constraints on getting the work done. I am a very fast pace worker but it’s like I can’t work fast enough here at this new job. And I don’t know what to ask for.

Apple laptop question: starting with Apple next week and just received their laptop, but it does not come with any pre-configured corporate credential. Is this normal that we have to set everything up from the scratch on day 1?

So what do we think about working at FAANG companies? I personally have stayed away from interviewing with them, as I have heard horror stories about work life balance.

Managers,
@if you have a new EE who has gone above and beyond within their 1st few months of hire. Do you expect them to ALWAYS go above and beyond moving forward?

Hi everyone! Just some quick questions from me 😊 how much time did you roughly take to study for the NY Bar Exam? How exactly did you organize yourself in preparing for it? Did you first study the MBE + MEE subjects and then just focused on doing tests or were you doing the tests while studying? Thanks to all those who'll answer.

Has anybody successfully leveraged a job offer into better conditions at the incumbent firm? I.e. office transfers or better case opportunities - not compensation. Or do people get offers and take them as a matter of course?

Accepted to NYU for a tax LLM, currently working for a big-ish private wealth law firm in their tax department. Firm won’t pay for any of the LLM, but I feel it’s possible to go part-time and still meet my low billable target. Thoughts/feedback?

Sooo anyone know of any skills CLEs within the next two-three weeks for an attorney with under 2 years experience (ex. Needs to be live or in person)?

When do partners decide when an associate is good enough to make partner? I’m a senior and it is extremely clear to me when an associate has it or doesn’t, and moreover it doesn’t take eight years to figure it out; it takes just one or two matters for me to know if they’re adding value or are ultimately just a commodity. It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that associates are largely being strung along by partners who are going to can them at some point, long after that decision is made.

Anyone work at Cahill Gordon? Is it sinking?

I'm a senior associate at an AmLaw 100 firm being considered for an non-equity partner position at another AmLaw 100 firm which is a bit further down the pole. There is a business development expection to eventually convert to equity; the expectation at the start is to assist with existing work. Jumping essentially let's me short track the road to partner. I'm unsure about the opportunity, which is essentially me starting over. Any wisdom on this situation? Thanks!

Any firms that have made the "work from home" decision yet? We've been getting preparation notices for weeks but not officially given the signal.

What exactly is ECVC work?

Need to tell my building this week if I’m renewing my lease. My firm currently has a target date of returning to the office early fall. Anyone else hear anything about return dates? I don’t want to renew and waste money if we’re not actually going back until next year, but also don’t want to leave to just have to come back in 2 months.

I’m applying for admission to NY by transferred UBE score. Live in NJ but work in Manhattan. I was told that if I submit something showing I work in the city I will be certified to the First Department rather than the Third. Other than the location of the interview and the ceremony, are there any substantial differences between the departments? I am admitted in two other states so I don’t anticipate any issues but I’d like to get this done easily and quickly.

Current billable hour count check?

Billable rate jumped 11% once our fiscal year began July 1…. Smells like a raise??

One of the most frustrating things is having the partner “de-prioritize” your deal. They stop responding to questions, take forever to review things you’ve sent them and act annoyed when you try to follow-up. Does anyone else experience this?

Paraphrasing a partner during practice group call:

Not surprised looters went for shoe stores but Barnes and Noble was untouched... they can’t read.

I was floored by this (ignoring that maybe looters were interested in resale value, perhaps). Such clear racism. None of the other partners even attempted to call this partner out. Call went silent for moment before another partner changed subject. Nobody in practice group AA.

Ashamed, I didn’t speak. Concerned for my employment in these tkmes
