True, but views from DTLA aren't overly spectacularAnonymous User wrote:Gibson: top of their building. Better views, but scarier in an earthquake.
Latham: bottom of their building. Worse views, but less scary in an earthquake.
I would pick GDC if I had offers from both, but I would also consider other LA corporate firms as well (Skadden, S&C, Kirkland, etc.).

Would I not be overworked at Gibson too? Latham has a 1900 minimum, and it seems like if you hit 1900 you're pretty solid.Anonymous User wrote:Depends what side of the building your on.Anonymous User wrote:True, but views from DTLA aren't overly spectacularAnonymous User wrote:Gibson: top of their building.

Also, I know someone who lateral'd from Latham LA and s/he felt like s/he was really overworked there. S/he told me that s/he pulled all nighters at the office more times than s/he could count. Doesn't sound like a great environment to me.
I'm not sure. I just know what the Latham lateral told me. FWIW, the Latham person was billing much more than 1900, I believe.Anonymous User wrote:Would I not be overworked at Gibson too?
