I know of a handful of folks that have transitioned from Houston to Dallas and from Houston to Austin. Seems more common when a firm opens up a new office (I know several people who moved to and from the new Kirkland offices as they opened in Dallas and Austin).

I did! I was well liked and the Austin office had a need that I was able to fill. I think it will just depend on timing/the firm.

What holiday party did you get?
Anyone living close to an office, got a holiday party with food and drinks, and the venue started open for them until around midnight. Our remote workers got a one hour party w a DJ and trivia that let you win gift cards. Yeah it was nice to win a gift card but I found it lame in comparison to hanging out with my team in real life.

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI.

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
