What are everyone’s thoughts on Simpson vs Debevoise for a lateral? M&A/PE groups. Which has a better culture/friendlier coworkers/work life balance? The work seems pretty similar at both.

Can you elaborate

Debevoise M&A is going through a rough patch. Not enough work as the firm has not been able to attract new clients and institutional clients are diversifying legal counsel. Layoffs going on.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
