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

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
