Very very different career outlooks.
Quinn is pure litigation and Skadden summer currently is open.
Quinn billable 2100, and Skadden 1800 (I'm sure most people go past that).
Because QE sort of has a sink or swim culture, I am not sure how much helpful mentoring junior associates get But at the same time, I also heard stories of Skadden being toxic.
Has anyone worked at either firm offices?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I know a few people at Skadden PA, and it generally seems like a friendly place to work. Have mainly heard negative things about Quinn, but I don't know firsthand.

Hi! Congrats on both offers! Do you mind if I ask which Quinn office you interviewed at and what the timeline was between callback and offer? Had my callback so just trying to see what the office's general timeline is like. Thank you!
