Sorry, but it's a big choice so I'm making one too.

Interested in corporate work generally, no specific practice area. I've heard QoL is flame, but, is it really? Also, if one of them just felt like a better "fit", should that be enough to tip the scales regardless of everything else?

Anecdotes along with votes are appreciated. Thanks, and sorry.

Cahill has a great reputation in NY. Its band 1 nationally for banking / finance and for capital markets:high yield products. If you're down to do leveraged finance, you can't go wrong with Cahill.

If you're interested in corporate, there's little to no difference in hours between the two. Though if you're not sure what you want to do in corporate, Ropes has many more options (Cahill just has finance).

This probably comes down to whether you'd prefer doing high yield debt work (Cahill) or PE M&A / funds work (Ropes).

Ropes's finance department is growing quickly on sponsor-side work.
