From what I’ve heard it’s a great place to be. (The catering is apparently top notch lol). Not sure on growth or hiring, but all the partners there I’ve worked with have been great.

I was interviewing there and was told that they aren’t a sweatshop like everyone says. Hours expectations are only ~2400 💀

I like it here, but in the last 15 months we got rid of a lot of folks billing more than 1800 hours. And some above 2000. So maybe you're not safe?

On the whole, K&E Dallas is a good landing spot if you don’t mind working really hard. Office culture is relaxed and social, partners and associates are friendly and approachable. The new office is super nice and the perks are great. All that said, it is still a sweatshop and you should expect to work a lot (nights, weekends, etc.). Those that are okay with working hard seem to like it, but those that aren’t end up hating it after about 2 years.

Corporate or lit?

Corporate!

I don’t think they’re net exporters of corporate work, are they?

I’ve heard they have good people in that office, but Kirkland as a firm is just the epitome of big law.

What about for lit?

Good for lit! Very strong

Hi Fishes,
I've got offer from EPAM System and Fiserv. Which one to join in terms of management, appraisal/hikes, benefits and growth? Both are offering similar compensation.

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately, the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.

I am also in the advanced stages of some lead designer positions in other companies.

However, I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.
