Oh haha thank god. I looked on above the law and was like what am I missing? 😅

I interviewed and have friends at both. Presumably you are asking about energy.

Both are among the handful of firms that do renewable energy/tax equity/projects really well. Milbank definitely drives their associates harder, so the $$/hour worked might actually be better at Orrick than Milbank.

like

@A4 why is it a bad decision?

Easy, Milbank. Money and career opportunities aren’t even comparable. Orrick shouldn’t even be a consideration, imo.

like

If energy/projects, Milbank does more finance Orrick does more project docs

I work across from both. You will work harder at Milbank. Milbank has a higher standard of work (Orrick’s work product is hit and miss). Nice people. Note that Milbank isn’t just busy with power/energy but digital infra too. Very busy.

like

Depends on your goals, practice group and also which office (presumably New York but if not then something very important to consider)

like

Orrick’s been known for layoffs. They had the option to do salary cuts recently like they did with COVID but went straight to layoffs. This has destroyed associate confidence with the firm. Be forewarned.

Wasn’t it like a 6% reduction in headcount? And Milbank doesn’t?

Pretty different ppp
