It’s another bite at the apple for them in TX after their houston office sorta cratered a few years back. Seems still too early to tell how things will shake out

Shame about their Houston office, I was interviewing with them when that happened and really liked everyone I talked to. But yeah, their two big rainmakers left simultaneously for Latham and Gibson, respectively. My understanding is some of the people remaining relocated to Dallas, dunno how true that is though

Was across from a Willkie Houston office corporate team recently and they were not good. Nice personalities, but didn't seem to have a great grasp on what was happening (or needed to happen) in our deal. Would think the Dallas office likely has a knowledge/process gap as well.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
