In terms of what? Work life balance? Pay? Perks? Client base? Billable requirement?

I’ve heard that associates at Saul Ewing, Buchanan Ingersoll, Eckert Seamans, Hangley, and Dilworth generally “stay” on longer / there is less turnover. So I assume there is something about those firms. By contrast, I don’t know a single person who has enjoyed their time at Fox Rothschild. It probably depends on the practice group also.

Cozen has a pretty high retention rate. I don’t know what their comp or hours are like.

I would say that it depends on practice group more than the exact firm. While there are some firms that have better retention than others it mostly is dependent on who you're working with because each group is different

Cozen

Hi Sharks,

I have completed all my pre-joining formalities & submitted all relevant documents. Once submitting the BGV got an auto mailer saying that it would take 14 days to complete the BGV. And the days are over now. Also, so far, I didn't receive any mails.

Do I need to wait or follow up with recruiter? Please advise?
