Date: July 30th, 2013 8:14 PM Author: crimson regret stage 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.

|
Date: July 30th, 2013 8:23 PM Author: cracking senate 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?
|
|
Date: July 30th, 2013 8:27 PM Author: crimson regret stage 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2324958&forum_id=2#23752228) |
|
Date: July 30th, 2013 8:28 PM Author: cracking senate I plan on just stating that I disagree with their assessment but would like until the end of the year, my office, my email, me on the website, etc while I get my shit together (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2324958&forum_id=2#23752234) |
|
Date: July 30th, 2013 8:32 PM Author: crimson regret stage 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. |

|
Date: July 31st, 2013 12:16 PM Author: crimson regret stage 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. |

|
Date: July 30th, 2013 9:19 PM Author: crimson regret stage 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. |

Date: July 30th, 2013 11:00 PM Author: bossy headpube 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. |
|
Date: July 31st, 2013 10:18 AM Author: flatulent light church 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. |
|
Date: July 31st, 2013 7:23 AM Author: Purple Home 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. |

Date: July 31st, 2013 2:50 PM Author: flatulent light church 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. |

|
Date: July 31st, 2013 3:35 PM Author: flatulent light church 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. |

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. |

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. |

Date: July 23rd, 2020 5:22 PM Author: Transparent trailer park 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 |
