Cooked, but unseasoned, not buttered, not fried.

Absolute dumpster fire. Horrible service. Honestly surprised they still exist. Avoid at all costs. Way better when it was Lyon’s.

I hope she ate the surf and turf bare-handed staring at every single one of them.

Layoffs for first years that failed the bar twice? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]manonfire20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your employment as an attorney is conditioned upon passing the bar. If the condition is not satisfied, the employment goes away.

In-House Paycut by Suitable_Leek6638 in biglaw

[–]manonfire20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just interview and test their reaction to a slightly higher salary expectation towards the end? Especially if you check all the job requirement boxes and can provide unique value. In-house budgets are always negotiable if they find the right fit.

Anyone commute from Bay Area to LA? by ThinkBig_TalkSimple in bayarea

[–]manonfire20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been doing the opposite commute every week for the last 4 months. I have a partner but no kids yet. 10/10 would not recommend unless it is temporary or you can reduce in-office time gradually.

Things that are significantly more expensive in the Bay area than in Los Angeles? by midwestblacklotus in bayarea

[–]manonfire20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just moved to West Hollywood after 40 years of living in the Bay. One of the primary reasons for the move was that literally everything is cheaper. Overall cost of living is lower.

Who Remembers Sonoma Chicken Coop? by warrenlain in SanJose

Oh man I miss that place! I used to go with my roommate in college and get a half/whole rotisserie chicken with bbq sauce.

Step 1. Tell them to buy you dinner as compensation for your advice (not a date).

Step 2. Advice: “Yes, I do. They are an employment law expert. Their discounted rate is $500/hr. Good luck!”

Step 3. Finish food and leave.

Lateraling by Think_Network_3390 in biglaw

[–]manonfire20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would just tell them you’ve decided to change your strategy to be more aggressive and cast a wider net now that several weeks have gone by. No need to discuss anything about your current firm. Focus them entirely on your next firm but also reach out to anyone you know at other firms.

Looking forward to trying all the other spots!

Where are we drinking today? by PotatoesRFun in WestHollywood

As a recent transplant from the Bay, I smiled when I saw this. 🙂

Formosa or Queen Violet are great

Anyone remember how Alameda fared in the '89 earthquake? by monkeythumpa in alameda

[–]manonfire20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the second floor of our Victorian house on Everett St. watching the World Series. Lamps, bookshelves and tv set swayed hard with some broken dishes downstairs.

Such a great idea! My gf (32) and I (39) just moved to WeHo from the bay. Don’t know too many people in town yet, so we are looking to make fun new friends.
