OMM is known for litigation and it is a very prestigious firm, so I think you will get the opportunity of learning a lot from very smart people. I am in corporate, and it is not busy.

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.
