Except my firm. Ever since I met the most arrogant pricks from Cravath about 25 years ago, I vowed never to hire or even interview anyone from that firm.

Other than the general goofiness of this, I’m most amused by the suggestion that big firms are a great place to learn. I did so much QC doc review at K&E, whereas as soon as I left, I suddenly every day was new opportunities and real responsibilities

The reason biglaw is big and Cravath is (or was) Cravath is not because they are great or the best, it’s because they are (or were) the most lucrative.

Anyone here deal with Phantom Share Agreements? Would that be in the wheelhouse for an ECVC lawyer? My BIL is being offered a job with a company and received a proposed phantom shares agreement. One condition states that he must remain in good standing with the company even after the 3 year vesting period to receive distributions. Is that atypical?

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
