Firms are still hiring M&A mids!

Thanks. Recently accepted an offer and all this buzzing about downturn is making me nervous!

Does it always fluctuate? Do litigators or corporate attorneys have a more consistent time on the market?

Generally corporate attorneys have more options laterally year in and year out and for longer (till year 9).

M&A PE is still hiring in TX. Not 2021s and few 2020s but mids and seniors with PE experience are very sought after. CAPM has of course slowed. Project Finance and project development and energy is still hot in TX with multiple firms hiring.

Litigators have more options in a downturn. Litigators should always move by year 6-7 max if they have no book of business.

TIA!
