Big Law hours for significantly below-market pay. Lots of abrasive personalities. Most who leave, don’t come back. Avoid.
I had OCI with a healthcare regulatory partner from DC office many years ago. When I was answering her “tell me about yourself” questions, she was flipping through my materials and mocked at my GPA and literally said you won’t get into our SA program. I tried to convince her that I had internships or classes that were relevant to the practice. Sometimes I wish I had a better comeback or just 🖕, but now I’m in a way better place so really glad it didn’t work out with EBG
They were cocounsel and were distinctly unimpressive.
But the client mentioned that their rate was less than half of ours 🤷♂️
They are, correct. But seem to fancy themselves as “Big Law-adjacent.”
