I wasn't criticizing them in that regard at all. It's a smart move.* I'm saying they essentially self-criticize by feeling the need to justify that decision, which in turn betrays their insecurities. This is a thread about insecurity, after all.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 7:08 pmI am not at KE and but I think it's pretty silly to criticize someone who takes a job for the extra money. You presumably do this for fun?
*Though if this year serves as a guide, K&E really isn't taking "above market" as seriously anymore.
Sounds pretty insecure to me... only kidding! I think you're probably right that K&E Rx falls into a different group, though I admittedly don't have any personal experience with members of that group to confirm.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 6:44 pm
Ask and ye shall receive! Though I'd only add on that there's a third category that applies to all of these firms: people who target specific groups/subgroups. K&E Restructuring, S&C White Collar, Sidely (I know they're technically not a V10 but I'd lump them in here) Activist Defense, etc, all can grab students who had other options. I picked K&E because of Rx, and very much see that as the correct decision, but I don't think I'd have made the same choice if I was gencorp or lit focused.
