Honestly advice here

Step 1: Go into the review tomorrow and don't take any shit. If you think they are being disingenuous about your performance, don't be a pussy call them out on it. When they tell you that you have three months, ask for four months. Stand up for yourself and don't let the act like they're doing you any favors.

Step 2: Walk out the the review and go home. Take the rest of the week off and clear your head. Go do something fun.

Step 3: First thing Sunday morning, sit down and polish your resume, draft a couple generic cover letters and start applying for ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Apply to firms, in-house, non-profits, government, non-legal jobs. Give yourself as many options as you can while you have the time.

Thank you for the advice bro. I was going to ask for until the end of the year, but will consider myself lucky if I get 4 months. To that end, still advisable to call them out on the bs review I am about to get?

Tactfully yes. Don't get railroaded for sure. It's the only chance you'll have to stand up for yourself and if you don't you'll regret it. Worst case scenario you get 3 months. Best case you have a backbone a negotiate 6 months plus bonus.

Exactly the smart play. I would say that this comes as a shock, you've been given good feedback and have given a substantial part of your career to the firm. You haven't even started looking for new jobs and it will take time to get things in motion. Explain how bleeck the market is for laterals right now (make this up). Out of respect you'd appreciate having until the end of the year.

PROTIP: If you're able to cash out your vacation or any other benefits, make sure to e-mail accounting or HR first thing tomorrow morning before your review to get the ball rolling. Otherwise you'll get fucked out of that too.

Some firms let you cash out your vacation and maybe sick days once they have accrued to a certain level without actually leaving the firm.

Depends on the state law. In some states employers can fuck you on it.

I only mention it because some firms will let you cash out if you have accrued enough. Better to go ahead and cash out now rather than run the risk of getting fucked out of it when you actually leave.

on target for about 21-2200 this year. bit lower than previous years (24-2500). I think is the result of a) slower biz in our group, b) new lateral partner bitch doesn't like me and openly trashes me

EDIT: hours are somewhat of a defense, but when the shit comes down, it's about who has your back

She fucked something up when she came over and tried to throw my associate mentee (a blameless first year in the group) under the bus and I called her out to the practice group head. This was also after I turned her down twice on assignments because I was "too busy" (but really didn't want to work with her because a bro at her old firm told me what a POS she is)

Just a heads up, recruiters are great for BIGLAW positions but they don't give you everything. You may want to spend a few hours going to firm web sites, even for BIGLAW, and see what they have posted as openings.

Watching my bros go through the process, many firms are more likely to bring you in if you apply directly through the web site as opposed to a recruiter (since they don't have to pay a fee). And you're more likely to negotiate a signing bonus.

With smaller firms and in-house positions, it will all be on your own so start combing web sites starting Sunday.

i would go a step further and say that if a recruiter is offering you a biglaw position that is openly advertised on their website (and thus not an exclusive recruiter listing), don't apply through the recruiter at all.

law firms recruiting doesn't work like anything else where submitting through website is like submitting into a black hole. if you're qualified, they will get back to you in biglaw and they will be more likely to get back to you if they don't have to pay an absurd recruiter fee when they can get an equally qualified candidate without paying one.

i say this from experience where recruiters submitting me to ttt shit and they weren't responding at all while i was getting intvs at higher ranked vault firms submitting on my own.

CP. Also, be careful with recruiters. Some will just spam your resume to multiple firms: a spray and pray approach.

I have dealt with a handful of recruiters, and I can say that out of like 6 recruiters, only one was great. The recruiter would call me to let me know that I was rejected and applied to firms I was interest in. Some recruiters will try to push any firm on you, which may be what you want considering your circumstances.

My GF just had an interview with a V50 and he said they exclusively hire through recruiters, and basically implied that he knew other firms did that as well.

I am not disagreeing with your advice, but it just goes to show you that you need to exhaust 100% of your options. Headhunters, job postings, personal friends, business contacts, etc.

the rate is higher so there is more pressure to justify your existence. at this stage you really start representing the firm and you serve as the clients first point of contact, so scrutiny is heightened. plus, since you can leverage juniors, generally fewer of the people at this level are needed. so there is a natural need to cull.

Best of luck brother. Also, feel free to leave right after your review. My suggestion would be to start handing off your work to other associates and go have a nice dinner (preferably home cooked) with your wife and kids.

Another tip would be that you let the partners know that you would like a few days off in order to gather your thoughts, etc. This is assuming you will be coming back into work after they gave you your marching orders. I asked for a few days off and never came back. I took a road trip through the South.

I may do it if the firm were pulling strings to help me get a job. A friend of mine was fired, but a partner helped secure him an in-house position. It was probably more the timing. The client was looking for someone with his exact skill set.

Other than that, I know some people may go in to give the spouse and family the appearance that they are still employed. Although, I'd probably go to the movies in a suit if I had to do it.

Nevertheless, your statement is credited. Take those 90 days for yourself and your family.

Been there, bro. Good luck. The advice in this thread is all credited: Go back to your office, log off of computer, turn off BB, and head home. Make it absolutely clear that you don't expect to be their bitch through the end. When you stop replying to emails cold, they'll get it. (I realize that this might be tough if you give a shit at all, but I'd try to do it as best as you can.)

Spend the next few days with your wife and kids to remind yourself how much BigLaw really sucks and how much more to life there is, and then start applying to things in a week or so.

to op bro (if not flame): really sorry to hear it. it sucks, but you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. good luck landing on your feet.

General rant: this isn't stealthing. "Stealthing" came from the darkest hours of ITE and referred to a firm conducting a mass headcount-reducing layoff but doing it sneakily through completely BS performance reviews. Basically, stealthing is trying to pull a Latham (or should we call it pulling a Weil now?) while keeping your firm's name off of ATL. Laying people off because of performance or as part of the natural culling that happens in every firm to midlevels and seniors? That's not stealthing.

Day is intense- lots of stuff to handle as we are essentially an inhouse lawfirm. You are expected to be at your desk and working by 9am. Most people leave about 5:30 and the place is a ghost town by 6pm. Lunch is a big deal. My team gathers in a conf room at 12:30 sharp and you're expected to be there for a half hour. Mainly shoot the shit, sometimes talk work if team leader wants to.

NO weekend work. About once every 7 or 8 months, there's some type of fire drill that requires us to come in on Saturday. They are deeply apologetic.

all in all pretty fucking chill and 10X better than biglol
