What can you tell me about WSGR technology transactions? I'm interested in eventually going in-house and recruiters keep telling me technology transactions is the way to go

WSGR tech trans is probably the better shop to do tech trans work in, like MoFo, Cooley, and a few others. These groups have stand alone commercial work (i.e you actually learn to draft commercial agreements) which is highly valued for going in house as opposed to shops like Kirkland or Skadden where tech trans is mostly IP due diligence or support for M&A deals.

A2 is right. Tech firms are best feeders.

I’m a tech trans partner at a peer firm and WSGRs practice is good. Only thing that is a little unusual is that they have a hard separation between biotech and tech, so if you want to try both that may be hard. Other firms (including ours) have more cross breeding between the 2 although people tend to migrate towards one or the other. I also think WSGRs TT group defers more to their privacy group so you may not get as many reps on privacy stuff as you would at other firms.

I think the tech firms are a good place to do this work but there are plenty of other great firms for it as well. That said, for exit options to big tech I would probably go to one of the tech firms if you have the option.

Hi all, I interned at IBM Cloud this past summer and had an overall very positive experience. I’ve received an offer from IBM consulting to come in as an Associate Offering Manager. The offer is 77k base + 10k signing bonus. From my point of view, this is a strong offer, but not quite what I was aiming for. I’m in my final year of school and will have a B.S. in Information Systems & Business Analytics. Is this a good offer? Or should I look elsewhere?
