Currently clerking, but have accepted a post-clerkship offer at a biglaw firm. Thoughts on whether the firm would give me a referral bonus if I refer one of my friends and they get hired before I officially start?

You can ask your firm’s recruiting dept. I asked before referring a friend and before I started (as a lateral) - they said they’d pay me the bonus. At the end of the day, they’re saving money by going through a referral 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
