Ogletree went through a period where making NESH was pretty difficult. I’d say that ended 3-4 years ago and it seems pretty reasonable now. You essentially have to show good work habits and the consensus has to be that you can run your own cases and that you have connections with enough other shareholders that your pipeline of work won’t dry up once you make NESH. Ogletree culture is somewhat office dependent, but generally you will find a low asshole quotient and reasonable people with a wide variety of work and clients.

A1: that’s worth it to me. I’ve decided to join Ogletree. Take the short term cut in pay. Will be far happier and earn the money back later. Totally worth it.

It appears easy to make partner at Akerman although I dont think you make much. I know of midlevel associates who lateraled and made partner after only a few years.

Thank you! This is helpful. Any idea what the junior partner compensation is like, and if a book is required, how much?

equity or non-equity partner aspirations?

I figured I’d get to non-equity and see how that goes first before committing to equity, but any insights you have on non-equity and equity would be helpful.

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs

I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?
