LW San Diego destroys Cooley in all the metrics that matter. Not sure it’s even a competition. Only downside is that you’ll work a ton at LW, but that’s generally true of biglaw overall.

Yup A1 is pretty spot on…unless you’re looking to exit into in house tech, Latham kinda wins on all fronts.

Cooley SD is better if you like having a cubicle instead of an office.

Disagree with the others, Cooley is by far the dominant player in SD and will have better work and exit options locally just by virtue of the client base. I suspect WLB could also be a bit better too but that’s around the margins

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm.

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
