WSGR is hiring in tech transactions. I'm thinking of applying because I'm not hitting bonus at my firm. Which office is best? What's the vibe at the firm?

We are always hiring… because people keep leaving… if you insist applying, I recommend you prioritize PA and SF office, next level is SEA.

She is not. And she doesn’t want company in the office with her

Some weird people in that group. Be careful, grass not always greener. I was legitimately annoyed every time I had to interact with TTG partners when I was at WSGR.

Yes, Kaz Hashemi and Megan Baier will co-managing the firm start from August. First time WSGR has a non-PA managing partner, so hopefully that will change the bad culture in East Coast. Though many people don’t have high expectations.
