Thoughts on Mckool Smith?

Has anyone actually gone through with accepting an offer from the Siegfried Group? I hear from a recruiter representing them probably once a week. How is it?

Does TechM employees get discounts on TechM cars?

I’m seeing prices for watches that used to depreciate heavily pre-2020 - but suddenly began to hold value because of the Rolex craze - tank like crazy. IWC, Panerai, Omega etc. you name it. Finally!!!!

Any ZScaler Commercial AEs here?

Just got a call about a 96k base:
/160k OTE role out of Plano TX

I’m intrigued but I want to know 2 things:
1. Culture/WLB - how is it?
2. Realistic market opportunity/opportunity to crush quota (obv dependent on many things)

Background: Currently making 95k/160k OTE at a boutique research and consulting firm. I’m happy but we’re extremely flat with little to no opp for promotion in the next 2+ years.

Anyone have input about moving from sales to professional services…looking for pros and cons to consider.

How much of a pay cut are you willing to take to (hopefully) re-find purpose in your job?

My Context: work in tech, company has HQ in the Bay but I live in Canada. Single, no kids, 1 mortgage, no debts.

TC: ~200k USD (60% base / 40% equity). I put very low effort, completely disengaged and unmotivated, with anxiety building up. Don’t like the company, but very few companies can match where I live

I’m being offered ~110k to work more, better title, fun project and company

What’s your story?

People who live with housemates / have a garden. Does it get noisy / do you find people in the garden earlier than (we) finish, that distract you from your work?

Also, living how is living next to a secondary school? Noise / traffic etc?

Thanks

I am single and have a crush on my married coworker but I’m containing myself for all the right reasons

I did not see that coming. I was convinced Viserys would croak at the finale, last 5 minutes.

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with tietoevry? How's the company/work culture? The person taking my technical round was quite rude to me but they still went ahead with the managerial round and now asking for documents. I offers from Capgemini and Globallogic.

I have given interview in LTI on 20th August which was pull campus so L1,L2 and HR all three rounds over on same day and I was told in HR round only that you are Final Selected. I got documents submission mil on 22nd August and I submitted it, But till now(2nd September) I have not got any mail for offer letter. How much time it will still? Can anyone help me on this?

Note- I received one email having Subject Line- Application status has changed(which was system generated).

Do McKinsey make your own slides or do you outsource it all to your graphics team? Asking specifically for NA.

I was interviewed for Amdocs through flocareer. The interview was good and I am expecting I will be selected for the next round, but it's been a week , haven't heard since then.
Any views on how much time does it take for them to get back ?

Can we upload yearly bill now for broadband reimbursement ?

Can anyone give me insight on Winstead Dallas? I am considering laterally to Dallas from Chicago & have a screening interview with Winstead coming up.

How's inflation and cost of living in Texas this year and any predictions moving forward? With the recession looming or already here I'd like to relocate to somewhere cheaper (currently in Seattle), but only if it's going to stay that way.

Lynn Pinker, a lit boutique in Dallas, just matched Millbank at 215k.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?

Currently a 2nd yr lit associate (big law) in NY considering a move to a TX big law firm for the financial opportunity. Would leave to hear thoughts on this type of move or from someone who’s done so!

Looking at litigation boutiques in Dallas and Houston and there’s a lot of chatter about LPHS—anyone have any experience with them?

Anyone else experiencing pencils down?

Any Intel on Sidley Houston office? Transactional in particular? Culture etc.

Do most firms start reporting years in September or January? Prior firm did an August year for counting hours and then another did January (both Amlaw 200). Looking at an Amlaw 100 to lateral in the fall (so trying to anticipate how much of the year I’ll have). I’ll ask what bonus/reporting year but just curious if most follow the same.

Does anyone know the work culture at Ryan Law in Dallas?

Texas Big Law friends, might I suggest donating some of that big law cash to causes that are pro-gun control and anti-mass murder of children? I hope you’ll join me.

Winstead or Jackson Walker people in Dallas (or if you know someone in these office) — how often do you work weekends and what time do you generally “log off” for the day? Also curious as to average annualized hours. Thank you so much!

After seeing the post about the differences between TX and NYC day to day I'm interested, if you moved to TX from somewhere out of state to practice how have you found the transition? Physically/Socially/Politically/Financially? Not looking for pros and cons, I'm from here, just wondering what it's like for people who moved here.

Any thoughts on Polsinelli real estate group in Dallas? How’s the pay, WLB, hour requirement etc. thank you!

Did you vote? I finally made time after work yesterday.

Not necessarily Big Law specific but any firms hiring 2-3 year L&E associates in the Dallas area?

Do firms recruit first years after people fail the bar? Are any hiring first years now? Or might they after February results?

How are everyone's hours in your practices over the last month?

I'm in lit and finally got busy after a slow first half. Looks like I'll hit my bonus.

So the question has been asked a few times in the main Big Law bowl but keeps getting derailed into a political issue. As someone with a more conservative disposition anyway I'm interested in the day to day of life and work in Texas as opposed to NYC (or similar).

So, what are the pros and cons of living in Texas and working in Texas Biglaw?

Holland & Knight in Houston as a firm to work for?
