Been here four years. No, you almost definitely won't get market (it ultimately depends on your collections). Yes, you will have to hunt for work/manage your own workflow, but you'll be fine if you build good relationships and keep managing partners/department chairs in the loop.
It's not as smooth of an operation as other shops, especially higher ranked ones. But you can feel job security here that you won't elsewhere, and you'll work more reasonable hours if you prioritize getting work from the right people. The firm's leadership is a bit disconnected from the office day to day, but that's probably true most places. If you want opportunities, most times you can find support.
But yeah, we lose tons of associates each year because too many partners expect BigLaw hours and availability without the corresponding pay. Good luck!

They’re always aggressively recruiting because people don’t last there. I know for a fact that all but one of the associates I worked with at the time stayed there to this day (and the one that stayed was already a senior associate then and became partner now).

If the option is between a market paying firm and GT, the answer is always not GT.

But if GT is all you have. Go make the best of it and lateral to a market paying firm

Any insights into that office’s litigation department?

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?
