I’m going to get shit on for this, but honestly Kirkland M&A. I like the people a lot, I like the work decently enough, I love that there’s zero competitiveness for deals with other associates because there’s always plenty, I like the autonomy of the staffing system, I love the chill WFH culture, and I love the free food and perks when I do go the office.
The massive downside that I hate about the job is the hours and unpredictability, which do suck. However, I have so many friends in so many other M&A groups at other firms here, and their experiences and the hours they claim to bill are always basically the same as mine. So, if that shitty part of the job would be there at any other firm, that makes me more content to stay where I am and enjoy the parts I do like.
I await the chorus of comments telling me I’m wrong because Kirkland sucks bro, everyone knows it lol
@A1 didn’t realize the Houston office had a designated appellate group - do you have any info on that?
Houston Recruiter here! I find associates are very happy at Haynes and Boone in most practice areas. I never get calls from their associates! Holland and Knight associates are also happy. Interestingly, the energy and projects team at NRF seem to have it good and low turnover.
For lit, Yetter and Beck have very low turnover.
Any insight as to why only 1 woman partner at Beck?
I’m very happy at Munsch. 😊
