On a serious note, they’re competent and good, but it’s a grind. Full of former K&E/Latham partners doing large-cap LBO work. It’s materially different from their Boston PE / M&A group which is a bit more mid-market oriented. It’s still probably a better WLB than other PE M&A shops in DC.

not good, the Latham and K&E "partners" are NEPs who are strivers that are trying to make equity. they run through associates and have the kind of work pace that's needless and constant. terrible even for biglaw. avoid.

I was recently realigned to Kolkata location although my base location as per offer letter was Bangalore. The relocation HR PoC helped me relocate for now as WFH is going on & I wanted to save money by not changing to Bangalore as of now.

If someone knows EY GDS Kolkata offices, I'll like to know all about it, please. Thank you.

1st year. I have a decent amount of client email/phone interaction. One partner frequently asks me to communicate with clients, and the partner tells me to ask if I have any questions before emailing the client.

I almost always respond to the partner with my thoughts and ask partner whether P agrees with my thoughts, prior to emailing client. At what point should I be skipping that step and just email client? I’m worried about making a mistake, but most of the time P agrees with my “draft”

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).
