Anyone have any insight into how Kirkland’s real estate group compares to their other transactional groups with regard to hours, culture, etc.?

A friend of mine is in that group - I hear they are happy in it because Kirkland RE has stand alone real estate deals and it doesn’t necessarily depend on doing M&A support for its entire practice so you have more freedom to do other things if the pacing and grunt work of M&A isn’t your cup of tea. Also heard the group has a lot of good people to work with

It’s a great group. HOWEVER - if you’re in NY (can’t speak to other cities) it’s not really real estate. You’re going to be doing 90% joint ventures and won’t develop the true skills of a NYC real estate attorney.

Has anyone moved from Accenture Federal to CGI Federal at Manager/Senior Manager level? Looking at Strategy/Organizational Change Management roles, and curious to know if you feel that compensation and benefits were worth it when measured against your actual experience once you started working with CGI. (I understand that some of it depends on the account you're on, the team you have, etc., just trying to decide if it's worth considering.) Thanks!

He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!
