Paul Hastings v. Fried Frank (both NY)

Obviously I will be doing second looks, informational interviews, online research, etc., but I always value input from TLS community. Leaning towards litigation--particularly government investigations/white collar. I talked to a lot of young associates at PH who had been doing really interesting work in that area.

That being said, I could see myself doing a 180 once I actually try out corporate work during a summer, so strength in corporate work (I know that is a VERY broad category) is a consideration as well.

Thanks guys!

Would you say you're opposed to working in a cubicle?

Haha--oddly enough, I worked for 4 years before school and when I finally got my own office I really didn't like it! Felt lonely and unproductive. I will take windows over privacy any day of the week. Seriously.

But srsly it's kinda bush league for any first year associate to not have a window AND privacy

The cubicles, I mean, cough cough, "end zones," will actually have windows though. Still pretty bush league.

I'd rather have a solo cubical than share a small ass regular office. Shared offices are a cubical without the individual space.
