It really comes down to the particular practice groups. For example my group is great, love the people, etc but another group in my firm is notoriously toxic

This and it can change rapidly with the addition of laterals. Sometimes toxic people move frequently because they are running from something.

Agree with A1 on DWT. If DWT doesn’t count as biglaw, then maybe none?

Im at dwt (used to be at market paying firm) and this is all accurate. The pay delta once you get to be a senior vs market is very real (especially since the bonus system sucks/ is solely based on exceeding the hours metrics), but its worth it for QOL and long term outlook.

I feel like Alston & Bird touts this a lot. There's so little about them on this app, which I find interesting (and maybe a sign people really are happy there if folks aren't coming here to vent about it?).

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
