They have a solid team but less techy than the major tech firms.

They do ECVC?

Agree that saying they’re the top v10 in ECVC is strange.

I would say, however, that they’re the best ECVC player outside of Cooley/WSGR/Goodwin/Fenwick/Gunderson.

I always enjoy working across from the LW ECVC team, though a good chunk of their team went to Goodwin a few years back.

Ditto on working across from them, I’ve found them pretty kind from top to bottom and are hardworking/sharp. I was getting emails from them like 1-2am though so I think they expect a lot from their associates.

Hello all,

Would like to know specifically about Queer inclusion at SocGen

So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

Additional Posts in Big Law

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

Conventional wisdom on current firm counter-offering when mentioning you have a few offers? I have an offer at a large firm in Miami. Current large firm has no office there but mentioned they can likely let me be there in a remote basis. BCG and a few other law blog sites have advised against accepting current firm counter-offers, e.g., likely to leave, not loyal, off partner track, etc., but would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

For anyone who is burnt out and looking to leave big law and go to a midsize, do your research. I was one of those people and I can tell you the grass is NOT greener on the other side. It’s a myth. In retrospect, I should’ve stayed and set better boundaries and not have taken this 35% pay cut.
