Big 4, GT, RSM, BDO, Crowe, BKD, Baker Tilly, A&M, HL, and FTI all have a presence. Big4 for brand recognition, A&M for comp, one of the others for slightly better work/life balance.

They’re all the same - especially if you’re looking at Big 4. The only reason the “firm” matters is if you’re selling work or something. Just pick the one with the people you like.

Hi everyone - ex-big law here (one year), and since then I have been at a boutique securities law firm out of NJ/NY. No billable requirements where I’m at and deal flow is decent enough (most weeks I’m billing 35/45 hours). They do not pay market. MSK (Mitchell Silberberg and Knupp) reached out to me and may be getting ready to make an offer after two rounds of interviews. Has anyone heard how their capital markets group is? Any tips or recommendations? Thanks!

I get interrupted a lot at work now that we are virtual. I don't feel like this happens to everyone else in my team as much, meaning folks tend to let them talk longer. So I've reduced my contribution and talk less. But then others make the same point I'm thinking and would normally have said. So now I just look like a silent non-contributor or someone who gets interrupted a lot.

Office/team culture is generally good, respectful and peaceful.
