So are torrid, spicy affairs limited to mid/big law? Is small law too small for scandals?

No, despite being small law, those are even bigger scandals.

Juicy gossip from paralegals: I knew a small firm where a partner slept with all his secretaries and paralegals. Of course, it was a revolving door of them because every time the affairs ran their course, the secretaries or paralegals would leave. Then, the partner would hire another. Rinse and repeat.

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

I have two offers, one from Am Law 100 firm and one from Am Law 200 firm. Am Law 200 firm is offering 40K more (otherwise the firms have same hours target and, based on discussions, similar culture). I’m trying to decide between the two based on long term career prospects, both offer opportunity for NEP (not sure how realistic it is at either). Also not sure of overall earning potential down the road. Is the 40K now worth it or am I likely to make that up at the Am Law 100 firm in the future?
