So funny hearing about people moving to LA for the first time cause of their BL offers and being stuck downtown

Raises hand.
I’m trying to buy a place and get out of my one bedroom apartment downtown, but that’s another discussion entirely.
Come on housing collapse!!
Interesting list. Sidley, Ropes and Willkie don’t have a large LA presence. What’s the basis for choosing these four?
A8 is correct lol *avoid*
Living downtown vs living in century city is very different- so I’d factor that into your consideration
While most people don’t live in Century City, it makes for a nice commute from a lot of westside / midcity neighborhoods where people actually live.
If you like feeling fancy, clean streets, and trendy fast casual restaurants, century city is so much better.
That’s true. But it’s rare that I have time for a full sit down lunch in the middle of the work day lol
The ropes office just opened like a month ago. People work around the clock in all the other offices, not sure about LA yet

For Goodwin, you can likely sit in either DTLA or Santa Monica, FWIW. Practice group does mainly middle market PE work, happy to chat if helpful.
Thanks A5!

Don’t know about LA but avoid Willkie! Sweatshop.
Thanks for the heads up A7!
Sidley corporate group has turn and burn rep here, not usually a top choice, Ropes has an east coast vibe, Goodwin has cool people , I like them and Willkie I don’t know much about. Im a recruiter for context.
I don’t like Downtown or CC so it’s a toss up. CC is safer now and has a mall if that matters but we just Postmates every day so 🙄 the sun is too damn hot here during the day
DM is you ever want more insight, we are back ally a boutique market of big firms, offices are small
Care to elaborate on Sidley? Found this through search!
