Cadwalader's placement. What a ragtag team of incompetent shitbags. Anon because they're on the other side and if they're reading this, may very well be able to narrow it down to the 50 or so lawyers they're fucking tonight with their incompetent shitbaggery.

Counterpoint: if you work at Cadwalader then you never have to work across from them.

OP..
You can't just flamebag a firm and not elaborate on the specifics

50 people firm in either new york, dc, or charlotte... hope you realize they can track you down by that and the fact they just gave your firm something

Presumably he could be part of a 50 person team at a larger firm.

even so, what is the point of being anon if he just gave away the fact that cadwalader gave his team work for tonight?

I feel like you don't understand the core concept of anonymous posting.

It was a joke implying that they are fucking a few different juniors on a large number of matters through their irredeemable incompetence. There is obviously no way they could figure out who exactly they pissed off when their MO is to piss off everyone, and not out of fucking strategic brilliance

cadwalader's attorneys seemed nicer when i visited. skadden was just cold and kept talking about exit options. (what is the point of going to a top law school if you aren't even trying to be partner?)

If you're not a real person, please never say so, because I love thinking you're real.

It's funny bc when I was researching Cadwalader a couple years ago for OCI they were making 0 partners and only taking lateral partner

The most stunning indictment of Vault is that SRZ is ranked so low despite its peerlessness in funds work

I thought the Vault rankings directly correlated with how much it sucks to work there. My bad.

Just based on this running joke, in 5 years SRZ will have jumped up into the V10 on TLS trolling alone. And that, folks, will be the real stunning indictment of vault rankings.

As someone who did CBs at both Cadwalader and SRZ, I don't really get the SRZ hate on here. I mean, they're a super profitable firm who paid above-market bonuses, and its not like (except for that one dude) they really have people trolling for them on here.

On the other hand, agree with OP: Fuck Cadwalader, worst place I interviewed at. I'd rather work at Skadden or even SullCrom than there
