I work a lot with Marshall Dennehey’s offices in PA. They have a number of lawyers that I consider to be very good. The firm itself is mostly insurance defense, so pay may be a bit middling. Overall, the firm seems pretty good.

Generally speaking and without more particulars - no.

High billable and high turnover.

Relocate from where? As P1 said, the firm is mostly ID and has some decent lawyers. But not worth it IMO to relocate for that. Biglaw, maybe. ID, hell no.

I work in a big ID firm that’s a competitor of Marshall Dennehey in Jersey City. I would never go elsewhere. Is the pay unimpressive? Yes. But I get nights and weekends to myself and can work when and where I want and am not micro managed. The clients are easygoing and appreciative.

Just joined a firm where they had appeared to be expanding their corporate group and kept seniors fairly happy. I come on my first day and find out those seniors have left for v10 firms, leaving me much closer to the fire than I expected. I can’t seem to shake this really uneasy feeling that I’m about to be demolished.. Should I trek along as normal or keep my ear to the ground for another move...

I was interviewed at EY UK on 7th Sep. It was quite smooth. Since then I haven't heard anything back from them though interviewer claimed SLA to get back with outcome of interview is 48 hours. On portal it still says I'm in hiring team phase. It was level 1 interview.

Should I take this delay as rejection?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
