Like a decent but not notable restaurant. If you paid for it in a restaurant you wouldn’t rave about it but you’d be satisfied enough. As FREE food goes, it’s phenomenal lol.

Sometimes they make dishes that are like wow ok that’s legit super delicious even by restaurant standards. Sometimes a dish is very meh. But most are reasonably good (and again, elevated dramatically from there given the price).

Same review of the free in-office barista.

To illustrate with our behavior, there are many many examples of times when I or the people around me could have gone out and expensed $50/person for lunch (with summers for example) and we said ehhh let’s just eat in the office, it’s good enough. So that tells you that all the restaurants within walking distance downtown are not better enough quality to justify the slightly hassle of traveling there even when both options are free. That action speaks more than any review could I think.

It’s the best perk. Beats going to very average downtown restaurants and paying for it

It's a solid 3/5 compared to paid options. 5/5 for being free. Some days the main lunch entree is a little funky depending on how adventurous the chef chose to be, but can't complain about there being generally healthy options most days (salad bar, veggie sides for the hot lunch, etc).

Better than everywhere else, afaik.

That said, serious budget cuts hit the office this past summer. Offerings on Monday and Friday cut 50%. Wild snacks (chips made of chickpeas, fancy beef jerky) replaced with M&Ms. No more cold pressed juices.

Yep, we used to have warm breakfast five days a week. Now only cold breakfast is offered Mondays and Fridays.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Additional Posts in Texas Big Law & Elite Boutiques

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?
