I’ve heard rumors that working in HayBoo’s Dallas appellate group is a bad experience. Does anyone know why that is?

Working in group at big law is bad. Slash big law, replace with law in general. It’s a combination of personality, time, inter-personal interaction and pay. You can’t optimize for everything.

In some shape or form it’s the story of our lives.

I think they're always mad that they lost the first case and are going to appeal. Seems pretty obvi to me. Maybe win the first time HayBoo? What, like it's hard?

However I’m having a crisis of faith right now. I’m appalled and embarrassed by the way in which the Catholic Church in America (where I now live) is IMO unashamedly political (cont.)

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.
