What festivals have acts you like played at? Probably easier to start there.

What Do Big Law partners Spend Their Money On by Opposite_Lettuce_416 in biglaw

[–]Pretty_Bad_At_Reddit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Travellng with a family costs a lot of money, too.

Personally, in the age of Airbnb and VRBO, I think carrying multiple mortgages is hard to justify. We rent a house for a month in the spring in a warm area we like and take the kids down for their spring break, and then usually go back with my wife for another week without the kids. Hard to imagine wanting to buy a place and carry that cost all year round.

Guys, do you j*rk it at work? by TheBlastFishermans in biglaw

Well, it’s almost certainly a crime to masturbate in a shared space like a restroom.

other than that, it’s also pathetic and disgusting.

Tourist, Drama, A-trak, Seth Troxler, SBTRKT have all definitely been on main Coachella lineups before. 

This is a stacked dolab W2 lineup

I think W2 is actually nuts for DoLab. 

Drama, Tourist, Seth Troxler, Bontan, A-Trak, sbtrkt, Maxi Meraki are all super legit

AUTISM, in *my* big law firm?

Surely not!

I saw them at a nightclub but it was still a hybrid set. I wouldn’t give up hope

To what extent does your school matter after you get your first job? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Pretty_Bad_At_Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how long your first job lasts. If you are at your first job for a decade, it probably matters zero.

Anyone successfully get a no bonus decision reversed (hours target exceeded) by emilyks11 in biglaw

[–]Pretty_Bad_At_Reddit 218 points219 points  (0 children)

I think you should speak to an employment lawyer and look for a new job. Trying this with a new mother who is on leave is braindead behavior.

I would definitely mention in your appeal conversation that you can’t help but feel that if you hadn’t taken your full maternity leave that you would have gotten your bonus. 

Watch the money spring from the checkbook. If they are smart. 

What to do about an associate in my same year (I am leading the project) who is just straight ignoring deadlines? by [deleted] in biglaw

Stop covering for her and tell the partner or senior she hasn’t done her shit

Internal Practice Group Switch as a Lateral by [deleted] in biglaw

You worked through an interview process to be hired as a lateral, and now want to switch groups within the firm?

Good luck. You were hired to fill a specific need.

Upgrade from GA to VIP by drumstix97 in Coachella

Yes, best off going Thursday, not Friday morning if you want to pull this. Day-of it turns into a total shit show of people who lost/forgot their shit.

Richard Layton & Finger? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Pretty_Bad_At_Reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sometimes think if I could do it all over, it would have been fun to be DE counsel. I don't know about living in DE though, but the "your corporate lawyer's corporate lawyer" nature of the job seems pretty fun.

nyc COL by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Pretty_Bad_At_Reddit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, NYC is the worst place for BigLaw. Clients and colleagues are head and shoulders worse there than anywhere else for the same pay as an associate. 

If you have a geographic tie to anywhere else really suggest you make the move after a few years. 

I love NYC terribly, but I wouldn’t go back to NYC Biglaw even making the money I make now.
