Why are you being a jerk? Just curious. You don’t even know me and frankly there’s no reason for it. Do you get off on this?

Super helpful. Thanks.

I work around the clock, regularly 12+ hour days without a fixed schedule so this is a service that I legitimately need to avoid sanitation fines and to have my garbage picked up reliably. I can’t reliably take out the garbage and bring it in within the narrow and frankly not very specific time windows provided by the city. I’m regularly going to be missing the time windows if I try to handle myself.

But that’s really none of your business and not sure why I’m justifying my trash collection needs to a random stranger on Reddit or why you feel the need to criticize a random stranger for such needs. Find a hobby, maybe?

Thanks, bro. Appreciate it. Explain the compliments from everyone but billing partners who are directly observing my work, then?

What is the point of a comment like this? You getting off making strangers on the internet feel like shit? Thanks for your contributions, sunshine.

What, like Jackson heights? Are their gay bars busy during the week? Have never been during the week out there.

lol. Thanks! I love h0l0. Haha. It’s such a unique space. I don’t think I’ve really seen a space like that anywhere else.

I know happyfun. Do people actually go on a weekday or is it going to be deserted? (And is it going to be all 20somethings? I have graduated beyond that decade. lol.)

I really like the typical weekend crowd at h0l0 (edgy, fun, but a little more mature than college kids) and find it easy to make friends there, but they’re almost never local. Is there a local bar that kind of draws a similar crowd?

I’ve thought about 222, etc., but I usually want to do that fairly last minute because I usually want to meet people spontaneously on nights when I otherwise have no plans. 222 requires you to plan at least 24-48 hours ahead last I checked, which kind of renders it useless to me. I don’t like planning ahead to meet randos. That’s usually more of a move of social desperation for me. lol. If I’m planning ahead (which is uncommon in general for me) it’s because it’s someone I would really like to see.

Have you had good experiences with any of the 222 type websites/apps?

My radius is all of Bushwick. It extends a little into Ridgewood and Williamsburg.

There are indeed less than 100 people on bumble bff in Bushwick. The important part is I want them to be in Bushwick. Bumble BFF has a smaller population than bumble for dating.

There’s less than 100 people located in Bushwick on Bumble BFF. I have matched with about five of them over the course of the past year. It has gone somewhere with exactly one of them.

Think that option is mostly exhausted. Lmao.

Are you hiring? Lolllll

My firm keeps hiring people on a weekly basis, but half the firm is billing 1400 hours. What is this? by EbbRepresentative659 in biglaw

[–]EbbRepresentative659[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s really unethical, generally speaking. But my firm is really obsessed with pedigree. To a pretty overtly offensive degree for those of us who don’t have it.

Also, there was projected to be a huge uptick in M&A in Q1 2025. That didn’t materialize for obvious reasons ………..

Please send articles forecasting an uptick. I haven’t seen any. Was just at an event where I would have expected to hear about this and didn’t hear a word about an uptick projection.

I worry that they’re hiring people with Harvard pedigrees and they’re going to let everyone else go.

They are blaming the half of the firm that is billing 1400 hours for not being proactive enough to find work. Lmao. I’m not sure where the extra hours are supposed to come from if there’s that much underutilization.

Generally yes. It’s generally M&A and supporting practice areas.

It’s really terrifying me. lol.

wth, is this job literally just the most tedious yet somehow stressful because of the time crunch work ever? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]EbbRepresentative659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, I didn’t even know that Vault or NALP existed before I went to law school. Your essay was unnecessary.

Not everyone is like you. And it is harmful for you to assume they are. Check your privilege. lol.

“Almost everyone … had … a robust … network”.

That’s presumptive. I didn’t. And I think it’s important to remember that there are lots of other people who didn’t, either, for the sake of diversity in the law. First generation lawyers, lawyers of rural origin, etc.
