Definitely outside of 50. Probably closer to 60. I'm definitely trying to learn to work faster and still maintain a high standard of work, but god damn is that hard when you're super spread thin on a ton of accounts and a small dedicated team. Those of you who are above the junior level, at what point did you feel like you were creating shit faster?

40 - 50

I’m a current biglaw associate thinking of lateraling to Quinn Emanuel. Looking for a more dynamic and trial-focused litigation practice, but I’m a little put off by how poorly Quinn seems to invest in support (tech, paralegals, etc) and generally seems to nickel and dime its associates. Curious how these issues feel for Quinn associates on a day to day basis.
