I had a few friends in M&A there. By year 4 only 1 of 3 was left. And he bills around 2500.

Yikes. Thank you!

The folks I know in the K&E Dallas really like the office itself (location, etc), but M&A at K&E is going to be a sweatshop hours-wise with "always on" expectations (I say that a K&E Houston M&A associate). I'm trying to survive 12-18 more months here.

Agreed with Attorney 1 below. That's the range most folks fall in, but there's always a few sadists who never say no to new work and bill 2,400+.

It’s a great office the hours are just always going to be high.

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve
