Perks and Benefits
Is it weird to ask recruiting about the perks and benefits they offer associates? E.g., insurance, health club, etc. From what I've seen, almost all firms offer 401k but almost none match contributions. Are benefits pretty standard across the board for market rate firms? I know you probably wouldn't ask during an interview, but during a second look?

Of course. It's something you'd be considering when choosing a firm. Not all firms offer the same bennys.

Re: Perks and Benefits
It's a great question for recruiting once you have an offer in hand. Firms are surprisingly divergent on these. All of the major NY firms at least have different gym, relocation, brokers fees, health insurance, etc. benefits (though they are all similar enough that there are no firms you can point to as being far and away better or worse than peers).

Re: Perks and Benefits
I asked my firm about benefits once I had offer in hand. It is important to ask. Especially if you are considering 2 competing offers that offer similar starting salaries. This can be big; if firm A pays a little less than firm B, but firm A has free health coverage, that might make the total compensation of firm A substantially higher than firm B.
