Lit has slowed significantly. Tax is slow. Real estate was dead but is started to see life again after 2 years.

I would not say corporate is hot but there are M&A jobs for 2017-2020s. CAPM is picking up. Finance is signing bonus hot. Projects is busy.

Very few M&A, CAPM or Funds job for juniors.

AUSTIN is pretty dead in all areas except for a few random jobs.

No pivots. No moving up. But if you are perfect there are a few jobs.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
