Skadden is a definitely great firm reputation wise and on your resume will take you far but you’ll be working Skadden hours (e.g., sweatshop).

Yes, NYC and Bay Area offices too

Which group?

Corporate

Heard that a lot of people have been leaving lately but don’t have intimate knowledge of how it is

Any idea why?

I got a call from Wipro for the post of Financial Data Analyst.

Thing is they agreed to whatever hike I asked but reviews are really bad in Ambitionbox and Glassdoor. Also as per Glassdoor, the salary for this role is much lower than they're promising. So is it worth to sit for the interviews?

They said they'd schedule the call next week and I want to respond to them before they setup the call and prevent wasting time for both parties.

Wlb is top priority.

Looking for suggestions.
I'm a scotch whisky drinker, pretty much exclusively, apart from a few select Irish bottles. Live in Ireland. So go tos would be Springbank, Kilkerran, Laphroaig, Caol Ila, Arran, Highland Park, Glengoyne...

On many visits to the US I've tried various Bourbons. Never very successful. Always seemed overly sweet and syrupy to my palette.

But I'm sure there are great choices out there.

It is incredibly demoralizing to be killing myself slogging through diligence for a very complicated target, including drafting an extensive diligence memo, all on a very tight timeline, just to be left off all the interesting calls about the purchase agreement where I could learn b/c partner is concerned about the bill & doesn’t want to write off time. It makes me feel like I’m not on the team & am just a worker bee drone & I am way less motivated to do my best work.

Partners, do better.
