What US law firms tend to hire more LLMs?
I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?
I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.
Any Advice?

Feels like a “what you make of it situation.” I joined the ULC for networking value and have not made much of it. The cohort the month I joined was very attorney-heavy, so I anticipate it to be for better for lawyer-to-lawyer networking than directly finding business. That being said, I think I could have made some very strong connections in a short amount of time if I’d taken advantage of every extra niche event.
University club is what you want. I’ve been a member for 6 years and love it. I’ve made great connections. The Union League Club is saturated with lawyers and dry events. They don’t appeal to my age-group or client base. It’s also recently declined in membership. At the UClub membership is pretty solid. Lots of under 40 but a great amount of longtime members, awesome and exciting events, amazing food and the renovated spaces are insane. Rooftop terrace is better than at Cindy’s!
My best friend who made partner around 37 and joined university club around then said it was all lawyers, so not always the best for building a book traditionally.
That being said, she did indicate that the median age was significantly older than her, and she made some connections with older female attorneys who worked in small or even solo offices, yet had a handful of high worth clients (family office CRE & Corp. work, developers, high value T&E work, etc.). Those ladies weren’t bound by legacy requirements and didn’t always have someone to whom they could pass the torch in retirement.
She’s ended up developing quite a few good relationships. You take over a family office client and then the teenage children become young adults with capital to go start cannabis companies, or whatever.
