it's common in NYC but my understanding is that juniors usually get their own office in other markets...well at least that seems like the case here in Chicago

And DC and LA. Which is why PH is just a cheap firm.

I don't know of a single firm in LA that has juniors share offices. PH will be the first. It's my understanding that's the case in DC as well.

Well of course they're making junior associates share offices.
Newer lawyers, he told Bloomberg, are “used to working in cafes and they want to sit next to their colleagues."

they do this every year. last year they offered a bunch of people they had (realistically) no chance of getting, then got upset they had to recruit in october. one of the partners almost yelled at a candidate rejecting their offer.

Well with the G I at least know a little something about you.

I also had an OCI interview with a different office.
