Google stealth layoffs and Goodwin.

I only hear that Goodwin is a great place with positive growth and a good firm culture, or that it’s a terrible place that does regular stealth layoffs - nothing in between. Sorry this doesn’t help you much, op. Just my observations.

Sums up the culture - very bipolar. Note lateral onboarding is abysmal and how toxic the environment is depends on the practice group with Boston private equity and life sciences corporate taking the cake.

Morgan Lewis does mostly LP side work. The people are fine but the firm is extremely stingy fwiw

I've been noticing a new trend in biglaw passive aggressiveness: Adding a question mark to a non-question when you're following up on something. E.g., "Hi X, just wanted to check in on Y as the client would like to see a draft as soon as possible? When can we expect this?"

And to the people who do this... why?

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements.

How would you ask to transfer to another office within your firm?

I lateraled from one firm in city A to another firm city B. During the interview process, I made a big deal about how I badly I wanted to be in B, despite only being barred in A. They hired me, paid for my bar courses, the works.

Now I find myself in a position where I need to leave B due to personal issues. Thinking of going to DCso I can just waive in.

It's been less than a year since I've joined; is it too soon to ask this?
