Depends on what kind. Leveraged Finance is very different from Secured Finance which is different from Real Estate Finance which is different from Public Finance. But they all have overlaps. What kind of group are you joining?

Venture lending: Very form based. Plug and play type documents. But excellent lifestyle.

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline?
