Lots of drama a few years back + shipped in partner in charge from another office who is totally out of touch. Office went down the drain.

This might be too old of a post now, but in what ways was/is the other office partner in charge out of touch? Considering a lateral.

I think the culture is actually decent but the firm as a whole does not prioritize the office so everyone is underpaid.

Also…generally re Jones Day - in case you don’t know, no bonuses. They’ll try to tell you that the bonus is baked into comp (hello black box) but that quickly goes away. Then you complain and get a big raise and then the next year a tiny raise. Same work, less comp - why stay?

Source: worked there

Nope. The same as anywhere else

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
