Proskauer vs Mayer Brown vs Winston Strawn all ny
Leaning towards litigation. Care much more about ability to make partner and quality of work environment, culture, and life balance than prestige, exit opportunities, and bonus comp. Which one of these three would be best.

Ability to make partner is a terribleb metric because its essentially 0% at all these firms. I'd go with Mayer Brown since its allegedly a pleasant environment for big law.

Fair enough. I met a handful of juniors that were surprisingly satisfied. Still though, taking Winston here would be a very poor decision.echooo23 wrote:Absolutely everything I've heard about Mayer Brown points otherwise.ImNoScar wrote:I'd go with Mayer Brown since its allegedly a pleasant environment for big law.

Ability to make partner? If serious look up how many partners they've made since ITE and their credentials.
But I think you should assume your chances are 0 %

I've had mentors who worked at Mayer Brown (non-NYC market) but they've told me that it is very much a biglaw firm and it's not a better work/life balance. I don't know anything about Winstron Strawn but in NY Proskauer will be your best bet. You're interested in litigation, right?

100% this. I know several attorneys at Mayer Brown (NY) and they've told me the same exact thing. If you're leaning litigation and all are NY, Proskauer is definitely the way to go.Anonymous User wrote:I've had mentors who worked at Mayer Brown (non-NYC market) but they've told me that it is very much a biglaw firm and it's not a better work/life balance.
