Any thoughts on Vedder Price, specifically the Global Transportation Finance group? I understand comp deviates from Cravath after second year, but by how much? Is there a lot of work travel involved?

I’m in Vedder’s GTF group. The firm pays market for the first three years (there is a pay band, but GTF is always at the top). Shareholders travel a lot, senior associates travel occasionally, more junior associates don’t really travel much. Feel free to DM with questions.

I used to work in this group as well. Feel free to DM me.

Good at what they do, as others have mentioned. Comp is black box but a lot of associates are satisfied with what they make up for in bonus (no cap on bonus). Granted, this means pulling a lot of hours. No work travel - maybe once a year for a conference.

Used to work across from them when I did that kind of work. Team seemed fine but note it’s a very international practice area in general so expect weird hours for closings and calls. Would not expect travel until you get more senior and you visit clients.

Does Vedder price pay market? Or is it only for first year associates?

Only for the first couple of years

Investing in big law: I just started working and since student loan interest is frozen, how do we invest that money in the meantime? I mean I’m sure between now and the end of January, I won’t make huge investment gains, but I would like to have my money work for me. I’m maxing out my 401(k) but I want to invest anything over that. The only thing I know about investing is Robinhood lol. Also pre-tax 401(k) or roth 401(k). Parents emigrated from Mexico so I have no financial knowledge. TIA!

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest.
