Works from home 24/7, doesn't have to deal with office culture, shrew farts, politics. Can spend more time with kids and wife, no commute.
No pressure to drum up business
Could theoretically work from anywhere |

Date: April 18th, 2019 7:54 PM Author: Onyx offensive address regret I've accepted my lot. Beats being an associate on the treadmill in an office 5.5 days/week. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38108799) |

Date: April 18th, 2019 8:02 PM Author: Angry Space Quadroon are you just a counsel who gets to work from home a lot or is there something somehow more non-trad about your setup? i think counsel work from home often is pretty common these days.

Date: April 18th, 2019 8:28 PM Author: Angry Space Quadroon cali big and midlaw is slightly more lyfe cognizant than MFH (mfh is of course kind of the pits period as to that). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38109022) |

Date: April 18th, 2019 8:26 PM Author: Onyx offensive address regret I WFH full time. Sort of unofficial -- I just started doing it, but no one has said anything and it's been years now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38109016) |

Date: April 18th, 2019 8:50 PM Author: Onyx offensive address regret lol, it's been about a year. My office is still there. It looks empty, like a visiting attorney office. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38109134) |

Date: April 18th, 2019 8:29 PM Author: Angry Space Quadroon i tried to get my first firm to allow me to officially work from home in the city as an associate. they wouldn't do it and i bounced (to my detriment ultimately alas) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38109029) |

Date: April 18th, 2019 8:52 PM Author: Onyx offensive address regret When I was still in biglaw there were a few attorneys (counsel-level) who joined as laterals and lived where we didn't have offices, and they were permitted to keep working from home.
The main partner I work for almost always works from home, so I just followed the lead. We're in touch over email, Lync, and the phone. |
|
Date: April 18th, 2019 9:02 PM Author: Beady-eyed center hunting ground Is it something a firm would entertain for a mid level lateral or do you have to put in a year or two of face time first? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38109204) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2019 9:19 PM Author: Onyx offensive address regret I think a couple of years helped + the partner I do most work for isn't in the office much. If he partner was there all the time and wanted to meet in person about everything, then this wouldn't work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38109320) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2019 9:21 PM Author: Beady-eyed center hunting ground Of course. I have a firm I'm lookinh at that wants an associate in it's satellite office for a certain specialty, but there are no partners in that specialty for that office. Seems that they don't care about face time (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4244074&forum_id=2#38109328) |

"Anyway Jimmy, keep your dick hard for a few more of these 'deals' and I think it's safe to say that nobody around here will need to see those gently stained khakis too often. You got that, Jimmy?" |
