I’ve had friends work at Barnes and thornburg and I’ve had a recruiter reach out to me re: a position there as well. The general consensus is that this is NOT a lifestyle firm by any means. You’re going to be working with associates who bill 2200-2400 hours a year, depending on practice group.

Why the heck WLB is so bad in ZS across all projects, why cant senior leadership do something about it when they know it is the major reason many talented candidates are declining their offer.
Infact I have seen in few interviews, they upfront warn candidates/interviewees about working hours and ask them if they are ready to work long hours. Is this even ethical?

I’m a current biglaw associate thinking of lateraling to Quinn Emanuel.

Curious how these issues feel for Quinn associates on a day to day basis.
