For a firm like dentons, your practice area and team will make all the difference. It’s huge and I don’t think it has the same prestige as other big law firms, I think of it as a large Lewis brisbois type firm with a revolving door.

There are levels to it, no? I know so many people from law school who went to work for LBB and Dentons and nobody has stayed longer than 2 years.

Dentons isn’t even really a firm. You need to give the office. It’s just like an association of smaller firms that now say they practice internationally.

I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify
