Yeah, I have worked with Lynn Pinker and they are all amazing lawyers.

I have had bad experiences with Yetter. Aza is a good firm but tough to work for.

Yetter, Susman, and Beck to me are the gold standard. Lynn and McKool I have limited interaction with but seem fine. AZA not in the same tier as the others.

I often see Yetter associates on linkedin hawking made-up credentials and cringe every time.

Lynn Pinker and Beck are past their prime and on the decline

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex. All started 3 weeks into the job. I moved my family cross country for this job and just bought a house. He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.

Folks that have worked in Big Law in other areas of the country, what do you feel is different about being in Texas? I've been offered a role in NYC but may decline because I'm just happier here, culturally.
