Anyone have insight on the capital markets group for Mayer Brown, Sidley and Latham in Chicago? Would like to know about culture, workload, quality of teaching, the partners/senior associates there, whether deals are and group is mainly in NY, etc.

I work for the gov and have reviewed a ton of Latham deals. They are by far the best choice for Cap Market out of those three. My gf works at Latham as well, and says they make a point to staff multiple offices on each deal, as part of their “one firm” policy. Not to mention being far better ranked in equity markets for both issuer and manager counsel. I work with a guy who used to do CapM at MB and he said it was all asset backed securitizations.

Thank you for sharing. If not too much trouble, would your gf be able to shed light on how she thinks of the work culture there? Know it’s big law and nothing’s perfect but would like to get a sense of it.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
