Huge sigh of relief and received my offer today. The offer letter lists all the benefits, relocation expense, salary, etc. but i know this firm and many others offer salary advance/stipend/etc. when you received your offer did it include this or was that included in a later conversation, etc?

As a 1LSA, my offer letter included the details of the letter. Don't think there's much reason for it to be different for 2Ls.

Rising 2L with a summer offer: Is there a way to find out whether a firm pays for bar expenses, salary advance or summer stipend? The firm is not listed here & this probably changes (

Yes, ask recruiting. They'll tell you. If it is big law, I have never heard of a firm not paying for bar expenses and either doing a stipend or salary advance. But if it is not a big law firm could be different

Regional big law, but that's what I figured re recruiting, just wasn't sure

remember that all that stuff is taxable and will get withheld in your paycheck so it's in your interest to get the costs as low as possible by negotiating with the bar prep

Some satellite offices of biglaw firms don't pay bar expenses... Didn't believe it until I asked myself.

Yeah, I sorta figure everything is taxable income. I've heard of people negotiating with prep companies, but I'm curious as to how they do so. Is it just a "it's you for less or someone else" deal?
Not a satellite, but HQ of a "regional big law" firm (100-150 attys), but that is peculiar.
