People are definitely nicer than other firms I’ve worked at but you’ll also definitely still get documents on Friday night asking for a Saturday afternoon turnaround.

Think it really depends on the group but on the corporate side definitely. Pretty rare to not have something come in the eve or a weekend.

Not compared to other big law firms. They value diversity and treat you like a human being. It IS big law at the end of the day, so don’t expect a 9-5. But you’re far less likely to have a partner demanding a draft of something on a Saturday, and you’re given the task at 5:15 PM on a Friday night.

As someone on the corporate side, I would say no relative to comparable firms. Plus people are much nicer here than what I’ve seen and heard from friends at other firms.

Hi all, looking to buy a fourplex in Austin TX. Off market they will accept $625k “as is”. My only financing option is fha it seems since I don’t have 15% down. Current rents are $4300. It’s in south Austin part of 78704 but a really bad street. My thoughts are it’ll gentrify and I’ll condo regime it. Any major concerns, am I buying at the peak? Are there other financing options I should entertain? First house so a bit nervous. Thank you!

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
