Senior Associate- for the first time in my career, I do not trust the judgement of the partners I work with- so much so that I do not want to put my name on the briefs. I came with the group to the firm so hard to escape internally. I also recently found out I am pregnant so lateraling/ in house would be hard, but anxious to work with the group. What would you do?

If a small specialized lit group gets poached by another firm, is it bad to join their group at the already-established firm they went to? They are building it out at the established firm and looking for associates at other firms for now, but not sure if folks have experience with that. Seems like a good way to pivot into a specialty, but worry about the risk too.

Gympass/Wellhub Question - Me and SO both work for Big4 (different companies). Both have Wellhub/Gympass discount rates. What is most economical option? 1. One person get the Wellhub membership and then add family member? (read earlier posts stated that the family members don't get discounted rates?) 2. Get our separate memberships?

Hi, teachers in Southern NH School Districts How's your summer going? Come out and make some interesting connections? Talk something about curriculum design, classrooms, students, colleagues, or any other questions/thoughts you want to share! It looks like there are six members joined. Look forward to your heads-ups... Leia

Curious if anyone knows if biglaw groups are generally open to lateral partners from in-house positions with no book but presumably connections. Think niche areas like IP, environmental, etc. left biglaw as a well regarded senior associate and have been in-house about 6 years as the head of my specialty.

I’m a junior at a V20 looking to retool (firm screwed me over when it came to practice group). Should I use a recruiter or get referrals? I’m lucky enough that I have a strong network and can get referred at several shops, but I’ve never done this before and don’t want to screw this up.

If I want to go to Big4 out of a tax LLM but want to keep the door open to law firms later, are there any Big4 groups I should avoid applying to? I’ve heard I should avoid compliance roles, but there are some roles where it’s difficult to tell from the job description.

We had a bunch of layoffs this week and I learned that the people at lower levels in the hierarchy were told in a group setting and people at higher levels were told individually. Is this normal? Seems like they could have at least given them the dignity of telling them one on one.

Does (or has) anyone work for AlliantGroup in their consulting practice? What’s it like? Red flags? The internet shreds them, but still curious. Currently in the interview process for a finance transformation manager role. Any insight would be helpful!

Hey all, Glad to find a group that is on the same boat as me. It is time for me to move and find a firm that supports my growth and care about my well being as well. Looking for guidance as I feel new to this market and with so many talents are available.
