I thought the war was over and we won?

We won on first day. We’re now just begging our allies we’ve been tariffing for a year to please help us deal with this massive win we’re so tired of. Jeeeeez… do any of you people actually keep up with the news?

M&A has been slow; people on existing matters have had steady work but i haven’t seen much new staffing for the past couple of months.

The comments that m&a is slow hasn’t been my experience. I’m constantly getting asked to join new matters and well over bandwidth already. V5

Does anyone when a person can re join HCL?

How would you approach an interview process where the company sounds exciting but you feel confident the role would not be a growth opportunity for your skill set? Is there a good way to respectfully approach that topic with the interview team and find a role that might be more exciting for you? Or is it better to walk away?

Can personality make up for work product? I’ve worked on two matters with a first year that multiple partners have referred to as a “superstar.” Their work was just fine on both matters and downright wrong on certain issues/points. I’ve definitely been more impressed by other first years in this class. However, this first year is incredibly outgoing and some would probably consider them “charming” (comes across as a borderline sociopath imo). Could that be why partners think so highly of them?
