Firm on the rise, very solid, just had a great year in 2010.

Where did this meme come from and what does it mean? I don't get it, but it's all over TLS

Thanks. What about Weil NY?

Seems like they took a hit during the economic downturn despite their strong bankruptcy practice, and they deferred a ton of associates by 1.5 years, but they are expanding their class this year.

Avoid, or consider depending on other options? FWIW, my other options aren't exactly STB, CGSH, PW, GDC, etc.

Consider depending on other options. V10 deferring associates to 2012 is exceedingly TTT, but there is no danger of them going Howrey.

How about Sidley NY? I know Chicago Sidley has good reputations. Is Sidley NY different from other NY firms? Is QOL better there?

K&L Gates, Pittsburgh? Any red flags I should know about?

Time time and again, I hear Robbins Kaplan is brutal. And by brutal I mean, they treat you as if you were working on the coast.

+1 for K&L DC

What about Morgan Lewis Houston? I know about their layoffs back in the day at the larger office, but... what now?

Well, this thread certainly got out of hand?

What about X firm in Y city that I am considering attending. Has anybody hear any info through the grapevine that may or may not be credible but will make me feel better/worse about my decision?

What about Kirkland & Ellis DC?

Was at Sidley NY this past summer. Great work / fun balance. Got out at 6:30 every day; did a lot of fun stuff after work. Look, Sidley NY is the 2nd biggest Sidley office at 340 attorneys, it originates a ton of its own work, and the people people are some of the chillest and friendliest you'll ever meet. Yes, people obviously look to Chicago as the headquarters of the firm, but by no means did we feel overshadowed or undervalued. All of our training was in NYC and the partners I worked for were doing work for local clients. QOL is better than at most NYC firms.

How's OMM in LA doing this year? Rising or sinking?

Anything on Mayer Brown DC?

I screened there. Everyone I met was pretty much the worst. Receptionist was nice though

I interviewed there as well. Pack of fucking douchebags.

I have heard that Dewey was a bad place to be for awhile after an earlier proposed merger fell through, but things are better post-merger. Pre-merger, LeBoeuf was basically just an insurance law firm so the Dewey rep may have taken a hit but they're probably more stable.

Well this was certainly one to avoid...
