I know this isn't Big Law related but I couldn't find anywhere else to post just for Texas. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about Cokinos? Specifically, what kind of laterals they look for (experience, year), salary/hours, and culture. Specifically the Houston office.

Considering taking on a side project but don’t have a ton of experience managing my own clients. Anyone have experience charging by deliverable vs. hourly or day rate?

Moving to the Bay Area this summer from chicago. Any recommendations for good luxury apartments in Palo Alto, Redwood City or Mountain View? Also how critical is it to have your own car? I live in downtown chicago currently where everything is walking distance

Saw someone asking about high-rise apartments in Mott Haven earlier. Just moved into a new apartment building here and honestly it’s not as bad as I thought. New buildings are safe and pretty spacious (relatively speaking). Downside is not really much to do around this area and food delivery is not great. Hope this is helpful for any one who is looking at this area.

Which is the right move for a young creative: free ride to portfolio school, or take a full time junior position where you’ve been interning?

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

Texas Big Law friends, might I suggest donating some of that big law cash to causes that are pro-gun control and anti-mass murder of children? I hope you’ll join me.

Looking at litigation boutiques in Dallas and Houston and there’s a lot of chatter about LPHS—anyone have any experience with them?

Anyone else experiencing pencils down?

If you had to choose between Dallas or Houston to practice RE. My wife wants to move to Texas and we're narrowing options. Chime in if there's somewhere better I should be looking.

Has anyone successfully transferred offices within Texas? Dallas to Austin.

So the question has been asked a few times in the main Big Law bowl but keeps getting derailed into a political issue. As someone with a more conservative disposition anyway I'm interested in the day to day of life and work in Texas as opposed to NYC (or similar).

So, what are the pros and cons of living in Texas and working in Texas Biglaw?

Any Intel on Sidley Houston office? Transactional in particular? Culture etc.

If your firm matches Milbank, please comment here!

Do most firms start reporting years in September or January? Prior firm did an August year for counting hours and then another did January (both Amlaw 200). Looking at an Amlaw 100 to lateral in the fall (so trying to anticipate how much of the year I’ll have). I’ll ask what bonus/reporting year but just curious if most follow the same.

Anyone have thoughts on Akin Gump in Houston? Weighing lateral options as a mid-level.

Any thoughts on Polsinelli real estate group in Dallas? How’s the pay, WLB, hour requirement etc. thank you!

I work in energy in New Mexico and am just wondering if it's smarter to move to Dallas or Austin to practice. Family is tired of New Mexico and the wife wants a better community to live in so that's a factor too. Open to all opinions.

How's inflation and cost of living in Texas this year and any predictions moving forward? With the recession looming or already here I'd like to relocate to somewhere cheaper (currently in Seattle), but only if it's going to stay that way.

Folks that have worked in Big Law in other areas of the country, what do you feel is different about being in Texas? I've been offered a role in NYC but may decline because I'm just happier here, culturally.
