Hours are very bad (meaning high). One of the biggest sweatshops out there

like

All 4 lit juniors I knew there in the nyc did 2300+ hrs, one of whom hit 2700 last year. I had two friends in the DC office one did 2400 hours and one in the appellate group did maybe 2100 hours

And all but one of these folks are people who were on their way to clerkships and had no intention of returning, yet they still couldn’t avoid working this much

I work at PW and know several people billing lower than the other numbers thrown around. More like 2100-2300 being the average in my circle with pro bono thrown in. It’s not ideal, but it doesn’t appear worse than other peer lit departments. I like PW a lot fwiw. DM me if you want.

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I hate Kirkland for what they did to me. Got laid off due to intra-firm-politics at a point in my career where I don’t have enough experience to lateral, when the market is so bad for corp/M&A that even with experience getting hired isn’t likely with a Kirkland stain on the resume, during the holidays when getting interviews or even screeners is just as unlikely, and all of this without any warning at all. Recruiters can’t or aren’t helping. I don’t know what to do, but this is a nightmare
