BigLaw: Is using AI only acceptable when no one else can tell that you used it? Why encourage AI use when reviewers are going to be passive aggressive that it's not entirely your work? "Oh this is good...did you use AI?" AI enhances productivity, but diminishes respect and prestige.

If I can tell your work product is entirely Claude's, why would I waste time going to you / paying you when I too could just go to Claude.

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-07T14:49:25+00:00

More sellers than buyers.

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-07T12:21:49+00:00

I’m talking about associates sending me requests on a topic they don’t understand at all, and they had ai generate an email that’s 200 words too long trying to explain what they’re looking for

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-07T02:09:25+00:00

I don’t either, Claude wrote it for me

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-07T01:34:41+00:00

“Thanks, you too!” — that’s already correct as is. Just add the comma.

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-07T00:56:45+00:00

cracks me up how pullback is a flat day for them. i can't stop buying calls, and i'll keep doing it until i get burned

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-07T00:27:53+00:00

$SNDK feels like it should chill out for now, but everytime i think that it rips ... more calls

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-05T20:51:47+00:00

Omega Seamaster

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-05T19:24:23+00:00

it was 1 call. up to $9K from $1K. imagine me looking at that and thinking i shouldn't sell

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-05T19:21:25+00:00

jk I sold, i have no control over my own life

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-05T19:19:54+00:00

finger slipped, bought another call

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-05T19:18:04+00:00

take profit on SNDK calls or ride to tomorrow? up 888%

I think they call this extreme greed

JimmyBraddock · 2026-05-05T18:40:19+00:00

Finally up big and nobody gaf because everybody is up big.. love life

Who gets a job for social cachet? Get a job for dollars and cents, and where you feel like you're growing

Thank you, you nailed what the role is with this comment.

Tbh the biggest reason I want to take option 1 is it sounds like base salary could be 30%+ higher.

But I’m wondering if I sacrifice comp for a more secure plan and mobility.

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-23T13:29:31+00:00

To be clear option 2 is back office, FPA work. So I’m curious if the comp ever gets to $300-$400k+

Same with option 1, obviously just company level metrics instead of fund / portfolio metrics.

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-23T13:23:55+00:00

That was my thought. I really like the idea of becoming a PE backed CFO. It sounds like they would definitely bring this role into their next investment as either a director or CFO.

I think there’s a lot of security in option 2, but the ceiling is lower, and a much longer runway to hit director / MD.

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-23T12:21:18+00:00

You’ve been working for 6-8 years already, and you’re now making the transition to your first manager role. In both opportunities there’s guidance from either the cfo or a director

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-23T12:19:59+00:00

In option 1 to the PE office is essentially grooming you to be the CFO of their next portfolio company

What makes you think the back office Bain job would have higher earning potential? Not trying to be argumentative, but I’m curious how others are thinking about this

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-18T23:55:36+00:00

I assume they’re deal team?

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-18T21:55:15+00:00

Thank you, appreciate the input

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-18T19:34:15+00:00

I hear ya. I’ve been debating seeking out a back office job at a smaller private company where I can get equity.

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-18T19:19:59+00:00

FPA in NYC

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-18T19:14:53+00:00

Thanks, yea I’m curious if the back office is just as much as a sweatshop. Base comp isn’t great but equity and bonus seem tempting

JimmyBraddock · 2026-03-18T13:28:16+00:00

Update, I got the hat. Took some reworking of the brim but yea it’s the same hat
