Interested in White Collar Defense/Investigations - Skadden or S&C (NYC)?

Both are Band 1 but wondering if anyone has input on which group is better, and if I'd hate my life any more working with one group vs. the other, or if it is going to be a pretty similar experience. Thanks!

As has been oft stated on these forums, Skadden has a somewhat unique culture among the other V5s, S&C included. Go to Skadden if you liked their culture when you visited. If you're not really a natural extrovert, I'd advise choosing S&C.

That said, both are great firms and I'm sure you can find "your people" at both. With the large class sizes at both firms, obvs. not every Skadden associate's gonna be a "bro".
