Reddit Answers: Easy Guide for Retrieving Human Content on that Professional Anonymous Platform

 "The company where I work is in turmoil. What should I do to keep my job?"

With so many businesses restructuring this is a common question. But it requires luck and plenty of scrolling to find answers on professional anonymous network Reddit. 

Now, Reddit is testing out an AI tool which eliminates that kind of time-consuming indirect search. Unlike other AI tools such as ChatGPT, it sources human content from its site not material from the web. 

Reddit's strength is that it is a platform of humans interacting with other humans. That provides a broad range of candid input on professional issues be they "Is Paul Weiss' London office hiring junior lawyers and how do I apply?" to "I am not getting interviews for entry-level jobs in public relations. Need candid advice, here is my resume." Any member can post a query. And any member can post responses.

CNBC reports:

"Reddit Answers, as the feature is called, allows users to ask questions just like they can with ChatGPT, Perplexity and other generative AI services. [It] is available via a new button on the company’s homepage. That button takes users to a page where they can ask the AI questions, just as they can with ChatGPT, Perplexity and other generative AI services."

Like LinkedIn, Reddit is so embedded in professional life and so succcessful a business that Statistica features its details.The projection is that it will be a corporation valued at $6.5 billion.  

Last March, Reddit had its IPO and is now a public company. At noon ET, the stock price is at 160.66, with the 52-week high at 180.74.

In coaching, I hammer the importance the getting the inside intel on work issues through regularly following Reddit, as well as other professional anonymous networks such as Fishbowl, Blind and Glassdoor.

Kirkland & Ellis Reported to Be Building Moat Around Firm to Deter Poaching of Stars

  "Kirkland gives partners more than half their pay after the end of the year in which they earn it. For partners who depart to other firms, the new policy gives the firm discretion to withhold that pay, according to a person familiar with the change."   Bloomberg Law , July 18, 2024 Scrapper Kirkland & Ellis is no slouch when it comes to protecting its business - known as the most successful law firm in the world.  Paul Weiss  certainly got in the way by launching not one but two high-profile raids on its London office stars. Gone were brandnames ranging from Neel Sachdev to Roger Johnson. In addition, Latham poached Matthew Cohn. If there is such a policy, as reported, then Kirkland & Ellis has created what could be an effective deterrent for both partners' leaving and potential poachers' approaching the star lawyers. And it all comes downs to money - big money: That is, both what partners would leave behind which they have already earned and how much ...

Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani's March 2021 Cocaine+ Death - So?

   It had been way back more than a year ago that first-year associate at law firm Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani died from cocaine laced with fentanyl. Yet that story keeps resurfacing.  This week  RollonFriday  revisits it. And  Reddit Big Law  considers the issue if the energy from cocaine is what's making possible those 2,500 hours billed in law firms.  Is what's keeping this on the radar the hunch that use of the illegal substance cocaine is common among those practicing law? After all, in addition to being an energy-booster, it provides a nice reward for such hard-working lawyers. Also, they have the earnings to afford it. Most of the rest of gunners have to stick with boozing. So, why not?  The reality might be setting in that the death could simply have been an aberration. Think about it this way: Ghahramani had bad luck in her alleged choice of dealers. Others might be able to exert more scrutiny in overseeing the content of the il...

Up-or-Out: McKinsey Raises the Pressure, In Contrast Some Law Firms Ease It through Nonequity Partner Tier

" McKinsey & Co.  warned some US consultants last week they are running out of time to win promotion, raising the 'up or out' pressure on staff as the global consulting industry struggles." - Abovethefold Article in Bloomberg , March 27, 2024 This is yet another sign that once-iconic McKinsey is a professional services firm in trouble. One challenge is overcapacity of manpower. It has also warned about 3,000 consultants about "concerns" regarding their performance.  In addition to the overall slowdown in management consulting, McKinsey faces scrutiny from myriad sources about its client list including assignments with China and Saudi Arabia. There also has been that hatchet-job book "When McKinsey Comes to Town." The most damning aspect of the expose is that former employees dump on it. Posts on the professional anonymous network Fishbowl Consulting aren't optimistic about a turnaround at McKinsey or at other players in that sector. In cont...
