I want to work remotely, and only remotely, with the option to go in if I need to. Can anyone recommend firms who allow this? K&E I hear is a good candidate. Are there any others?

I have corporate, tech M&A-based experience and I am open to retooling.

Confirmed most K&E groups/offices are very loose about WFH, but don’t think you could go truly fully remote without special approval (which people have gotten, but it’s the minority). What most of us do is theoretically be part of X office but just attend very poorly.

WSGR M&A allows remote work. They may not advertise as such though.

Agree with what T1 implies - set yourself up for success. Not going in is setting yourself up for failure, assuming you want to have a career as a lawyer.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed.

Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

Considering a jump from Chicago to New York. I truly love living in Chicago and how far this salary gets me but I definitely want to try to make it in New York.

The only problem is my significant other has a lot of negative opinions about New York. I ultimately want to return to DC but I feel like a few good years in New York would be really good for me. In terms of a place to live, where in Manhattan can I find a place that's similar to River North in Chicago?
