Ropes & Gray, Foley & Lardner or Gunderson Dettmer for corporate paralegal position. Any insights on WLB, hours, culture, remote? I don’t want to feel like running out the door after 5-6 months in.

Foley Chicago generally has a good, fairly laidback Midwestern culture. Paralegals we’re rarely asked to work after 5 or 6 and I can’t remember a single time when a paralegal was asked to work on a weekend. I was in litigation pre-pandemic tho, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I never worked with any of the Boston attorneys or paralegals so don’t have any personal knowledge. But since it’s a smaller US satellite office, I’d imagine it’s equally if not more chill than Chicago. Milwaukee and maybe DC would be the only two offices that might be more intense.

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work.

Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
