I asked ChatGPT and this is what it said:

Typically involves a combination of aggression, intimidation, and strategic maneuvering. The invading partner may initially engage in vocal displays and physical confrontations to assert dominance and challenge the existing leader. These encounters often escalate into violent clashes where size, strength, and fighting prowess play crucial roles. The invading partner aims to weaken and ultimately defeat the incumbent, either through direct combat or by leveraging alliances with other partners in the partnership. Once the reigning alpha is subdued or driven away, the usurper establishes control over the territory, marking boundaries through scent marking and vocalizations to assert dominance and deter potential challengers.

Good luck!

Shit if all i had to do was beat the middle aged out of shape partners up to get partnership and apparently yell or pee on the carpet, climbing the ranks would be so much easier.

A6 gets it. K&E is not a “book of business” firm. It’s a using and developing the “platform” firm. The institutional clients, which are the cornerstones to the K&E business, don’t travel with partners when they come and go (barring a seismic shift of a massive amount of PCs, which hasn’t happened).

Be important in a key area of growth for the firm when your time comes. They think like a business. It's less about you than it is about them.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?
