Does anyone have any thoughts on Latham and Proskauer funds group? RTO policy, WLB, billable requirement, etc?

I recruit for both just to be transparent. Kind of depends on the city but I know Latham’s RTO is 4 days a week in person and enforced in most cases in NYC. I’ve heard laterals into their funds group have had a hard time integrating and getting solid work.

Not sure on Proskauer’s funds group specifically but culturally speaking (across the firm) I would put them a little bit ahead of Latham, especially in New York and especially for people of color.

They’re both in the top tier of culture for attorneys of color in my book. I think black attorneys tend to prefer Proskauer whereas other poc groups lean Latham or view them as culturally equal.

So yes but it’s a little more labor intensive to track. I’m working on a database of every black attorney in big law which should make it easy to track in the future but I have a long ways to go. So far I’ve cataloged about 8 big law firms out of 100 😂 though it should be easy enough if you want to google the firm and group and click through the “meet our team” or equivalent button on each firms site. That’s what I’d recommend until I finish this magnum opus of a tracking task which is gonna take… months. Ultimately I hope to post it in this bowl so everyone can have an easier time connecting with one another!

Hi Fishes,
I am an Senior iOS developer. YOE is 8.5. Currently getting 13 LPA. Getting promotion in a month with 25 to 30 percent hike which comes nearly 16.8 LPA. I cannot able to relocate now due to family dependency reasons. I heard iOS developer salary market is good. I am having a very good work life balance in the current company. I am in a confusion. Should I look for opportunities with PWFM or stay in current company? Am I making low pay as per market trends?
