Anyone on the inside hearing anything about the completion date for 55 hudson yards? I know a few biglaw firms are moving there, supposedly this fall.

Cubicles instead of offices for all associates? That sounds rough...Anonymous User wrote:Cooley is moving there. There will be cubicles for all associates. Mid-2019 is what we hear.

Sucks for those associates, but it does sound like a decent number of firms in New York are slowly shifting towards this modelmisterjames wrote:a cost savings under the guise of millennial C O L L A B O R A T I O Nithrowds wrote:Cubicles instead of offices for all associates?

That would literally be a dealbreaker for me if I was choosing between more than one similar firm. It sounds silly but the effect on your quality of life and ability to be productive during busy times would be massive. I would take a pay cut to have a door that closes.ithrowds wrote:Sucks for those associates, but it does sound like a decent number of firms in New York are slowly shifting towards this modelmisterjames wrote:a cost savings under the guise of millennial C O L L A B O R A T I O Nithrowds wrote:Cubicles instead of offices for all associates?

I agree, the problem is these days that choice is not necessarily between an open office floor plan vs. your own office, but rather, open office floor plan vs. an office shared with another junior associate (which is the case with a lot of the larger NY-based firms)Anonymous User wrote: That would literally be a dealbreaker for me if I was choosing between more than one similar firm.

Even though a shared office isn't ideal, it's still much better than having a completely open floor plan.

It's not silly. It's a very valid concern. Quality of life is a lot worse when everyone is in one big room and sees when you come in and out.Anonymous User wrote:That would literally be a dealbreaker for me if I was choosing between more than one similar firm.
