Lol at WLB at V&E. If that’s your primary focus then HB is the easy answer.

Are you deciding between 2 offers?

HB real estate is not a flexible WFH. Had a friend in a different group and the RE group is notorious for being an old school, sit at your desk even if you have nothing going on culture.

I’d go V&E based on stability alone (if you’re looking to stay for more than 3-4 years), although the variation in WLB isn’t very wide across the board in BigLaw IMO.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Does anyone have ideas on how to navigate a smaller team environment when everyone’s roles seem to be stretched (hiring for additional people has been taking a while, not sure why). The stress causes some tension and that’s probably not great for the overall morale of the company long-term. I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!
