Currently a 4th year at a lower tier AM Law 100 shop. Consistently billing 1900 (just enough to hit market $$). Thoughts on White & Case corporate/M&A? Sweatshop? Hours? Culture? Should I run?

Hi in TCS, i know the client doesn't have billing as they recently shuffled a more experienced resource with a less experienced resource saying it was due to low billing. But they are saying they will give me long term onsite? Even clients wants me there but there is a routine that client will offer three months onsite for all employees in that project. Apart from that I don't think there is long term opportunity, do you think tcs can negotiate with client for one onsite position? In NP now

Hello does anyone have experience or know of a case where a team or at least a group of people moved together to another employer.

For context we are a strong developer team that has been saddled with less than ideal migration with a vendor that is really not up to scratch and a big chunk of the team is not ok with that. So I wonder if there is a precedent of people just moving in bulk.

Learned quickly that my experience/knowledge/organization is not up to par (was a COG in the machine at prior firm). Just had EOY review and, though positive sounding, they’re dropping me to a 3rd year to ensure I’m not billing as a 4th year and able to do the work to learn/get up to par. I feel pretty okay about it (market salary deduction notwithstanding), but want to make sure I’m not being naive.
