Big law hours with none of the money or prestige
WLB is generally reasonable across the firm, but one of the partners in that group is demanding. It’s a chill culture generally. Very nice people. But can sometimes feel like BigLaw expectations without the pay to match. Maybe worth it if you’re looking for a true 1800 billable.
Alas, my info is a bit outdated. I hear from reliable sources that they are poised to raise associate comp “soon,” but I don’t know how much and it still won’t be anywhere near market, I’m sure. Pay has been a sticking point for senior associates, even though partnership prospects are good.
