Lol M&A at Kirkland, good luck. Enjoy your life now while you still have one because you’ll be saying bye bye to it soon if you go to K&E.

A1 may be right. I have friends who, albeit in Chicago, were (past tense) in K&E PE/M&A and there were at 3k billables for a couple of years and bounced. Had another friend who went into a support group for PE and is hitting like 290-300 a month. I haven’t worked there, so I’m not hating and I’m sure you can bill more reasonable (like 2.4 or 2.5k a year) and not get fired. Look, if you don’t care about working and want to stack $$…Go for it.

FWIW, I’m in the K&E Dallas doing M&A and I really enjoy it. The Dallas group is super fun and more laid back than many of the other offices. Hours are still pretty high but you have control over how much you say yes to and what deals you want to do, which IMO makes the job much much more enjoyable

Recent TX M&A lateral here. The TX offices seem to operate very differently and I’ve enjoyed it so far. The hours are the same as my old firm but the work quality is better and I really like the TX people. You just have to be in charge of your own time. If you’re someone who can’t say “no” to deals this is not the place for you.

Hi folks.

I wanted to know if HashedIn provides permanent WFH. Atleast for senior employees.

During my HR discussion, HR told me that senior employees like you (SE III) don't have to come to office.

I want to know if it's true or not.

Also please let me know what is the notice period in HashedIn.

At what degree of distraction do you stop billing? I ask because it’s impossible to work at a peak level for an entire day. So how do you think about times when you are working but being **slow**? How does this translate into time lost in a typical day working? I know this is a function of how busy you are and the kind of work on your plate—but what is usual and unusual?

How did Cooley decide which attorneys to lay off in this week’s round?

I have heard that many were on track for 1900+ client billables, so it wasn’t just axing low billers. Have also heard people with good performance reviews and recent laterals with no performance reviews were impacted, so it wasn’t strictly those with work product issues.

Anyone have any insight?
