Third year capital markets associate in v20 and curious about other opportunities. What's the "tech driven" "emerging companies" practice like? Does it entail worse hours than average corporate biglaw?

Just looking for slightly more balance in life where vacations are respected and, outside of deal crunch time, 10pm responses are not the automatic assumption. More than happy to switch practice groups.

I cannot imagine anyone but doctors works the hours folks like us are supposed to. We need to do everything we can to push the industry leaders towards sustainability in practice. Move and take your talent with you!

Agreed. My best friend is a physician and I am always reminded of how my job really only boils down to helping business stay in business

Not in it personally but I do live in SF - my impression is folks at emerging tech companies are all v stressed and anxious about their legal matters (natural consequence of being in start-up mode rather than long established companies - if the IPO doesn’t go through they stand to lose it all etc) so I doubt it’s easy or balanced. However, probably not worse than standard corporate either.

Good point. From my limited exposure to non-institutional clients, they at least seem more grateful. I guess I'm too junior to be on the receiving end of all of their anxious frantic questions so I haven't been exposed to that aspect as much.

I was told by management they see me in a more supervisory role at my first year review and during meetings. My second year review comes and there’s no talk about a promotion - instead it says “we can’t wait to see her excel“ and my raise and increase were the same as the prior year. I know I deserved more of an increase this year. I mentioned to my manager about the promotion and was told she will bring it up in a meeting. Three months later and I haven’t heard anything. Any advice?
