How often do you respond to emails from law students who want to learn about your firm/practice area? I get like a dozen requests right around OCI every year.

Hello folks,

I am new to fishbowl and recently got an offer from Publicis Sapient for a senior associate. They are offering $136k with unlimited pto benefits. As I am from the industry and haven't heard about this company before, I would like some comments or thoughts about working for this company? How do they invest in their employees (like pay raise, promotions, etc)?

Wishing everybody luck on their upcoming exams and finals! 🤞 Remember to take care of yourself during this time!
