Lol I like the good ol’ boys culture.

Hit or miss. Most are old and slow to change. Lack resources and processes. As a manager there’s a good chance you’ll be slammed doing manager and senior work. Upside is a clear path to partner and sometimes they can be a really great place to work.

I started at a small firm and have gone bigger from here. Agree with the above.

There’s more corporate BS at larger firms but sometimes hours can be worse at small firms

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

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.

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?
