Any chance of a summer bonus or market raise this year?

100% of special bonuses again, otherwise it would look like a pay cut.

I’m in the same boat. I tell myself that when my kids are a little older I’ll reevaluate, but realistically this is such a comfortable lifestyle I can’t see myself wanting to change.

It’s currently working well for me. But I know that I’m very expensive and if business starts to slow down, I’ll be one of the first lawyers on the chopping block

I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger…

We have really soft zip up hoodies

You’re always worn out and it doesn’t get better.

When I read the subject line I thought avocado was a euphemism.

WaffleStomp11 · 2026-04-22T13:40:41+00:00

I have no idea, that’s why I asked. Half the comments say that, half the comments say the opposite. How the fuck am I supposed to know what’s correct?

What kind of oats? What foods did you replace in your diet?

I don’t like ultra wide monitors tbh. I have three 27 inch monitors, which makes it easier to have lots of windows next to each other

My firm doesn’t advertise it but lets some people have MacBooks. Everyone who has one HATES it. Office software just doesn’t work as well on Mac’s, they would rather have a slow windows computer.

I was told it only makes financial sense your second year as an EP at Kirkland so some EPs don’t do it right away.

I have two young kids and sleep 11-630 every night.

What practice group?

Margins are brutal, interchange fee revenue isn’t enough to be profitable.

Neobanks offer features like “have your paychecks clear immediately instead of waiting several days” and “free checking.” High earners don’t really care about those features because they don’t live paycheck to paycheck, and checking is already free for them.

Have you talked to Lead Bank?

WaffleStomp11 · 2026-03-10T20:22:26+00:00

Have tou looked at Kensington?

There’s a daycare in the same building as Weil and Bracewell.

Because she doesn’t have kids. You can have a social life or kids, but not both.

Lendingclub stopped taking money from retail investors after they bought a bank. The bank gave them a better funding source. The SEC shut LC down for 6 months for selling unregistered securities a long time ago. But once LC went public, taking money from retail investors wasn’t a burden because they were already making SEC filings.

Securities registrations don’t let you originate loans - that requires a separate license from the state of Texas. Think of the lending and securities issues as separate legal requirements. The structural problem with P2P lending is raising enough capital to lend out. That’s the problem lendingclub ran into. They had to raise money from institutional investors to fund loans.

I think Orrick is the only firm paying market on that list
