This is gold, on so many levels! :D

Make it about culture or something warm and fuzzy. EY likes that

I’d recommend to talk to the team and how they experience work. The reality is that the culture is very country and team specific. I like my team where I am but did international engagements with other countries where I’d have quit the week after if I’d be in there full time.

Just ask for honest reviews from the team members.

If you are purely changing for comp you may end up having a bad time :p

Why don’t you negotiate better pay at D?

Say D is nowhere close to harvard. You just realized it

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?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
