yeah, my concern was weighing that against SRZ doing mainly hedge fund work and having a smaller lit/corp practice.

Incidentally, what does that mean? My firm routinely lays off juniors 1 year and 7 months after they start. Are those first-years?

Read more above. I think first-year means before you've completely stub year + 12 months. I was under the impression that most financially stable firms will generally give people 2 years short of egregious circumstances. I could be wrong. Either way, Dechert is probably not a great place to be since according to the thread, people are put on lists to be fired before they're even finished studying for the bar.
