Thoughts on Debevoise PE group? Clients, folks, culture? Want to work my ass off at a great institution to later make partner (I know it’s almost impossible there, so ideally lateraling as a partner at a v20). They’ve introduced a NEP track so possible, but have no idea what it looks like (first promotion yet to be announced).

Partnership prospects notoriously opaque at Deb with the usual expected backstabbing and dysfunction at the senior levels is what I heard, but I may be weong

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest.
