Thoughts on choosing between Katten, Bryan Cave and Polsinelli? Katten pays best, BC has lower hours requirements and seems more laid back.

Katten unless there’s a pressing reason and/or specific practice group only available at the others. Trust me, if you choose one of the other 2 and you are super slammed, you will be questioning why you decided to take less pay.

Hi I’m looking to apply to BC Atlanta but your post has me spooked. Why not BC??

What office? BC has never really recovered from the merger from what I understand, which makes the partner prospects, iffy and more political than necessary.

Polsinelli has lower hours than BC and better WLB. At Polsinelli, you should be up for shareholder in a year (negotiate).

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?

How many interviews is too many? I’ve done 5 one on ones with different people in the practice group. They want me to talk to a few more, but I’m frustrated. It’s so hard to find time to schedule these things and the associates don’t seem to understand I can’t just take them in the middle of the work day at work. Recruiter thinks it’s a good sign. FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.
