Thinking about lateraling to Dallas as a PE M&A third year associate from NYC. Which firm do larger deals? Public M&A? KE, Sidley, Gibson, or VE? Can you survive at any of the firms doing 2000 hours?

I believe what shareholder 1 is saying is that the bare minimum will only get you by for so long, especially in a recession. In other words, they're saying you're approaching this with the wrong attitude.

I have hired several people from three of those shops and each says that if you’re around 2k pace for any period of time then you’ll get a visit. KE is the worst and Sidley not far behind. I haven’t hired from VE.

5th year at one of above firms, agree with P1's response. 1875-2000 should keep you off a hit list provided you're not dodging work while others are getting crushed.
