I am a fourth-year Associate at an AmLaw 30 firm. I am thinking about lateraling over to a different firm. For context, they’re much larger than my current firm. In thinking about making my first move, I was wondering if there was anything any of you asked for (or wish you may have asked for) as a condition of your employment (e.g., ability to work remotely). Any insight any of you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
