White & Case (NY) vs. Wachtell Lipton vs. Cravath Swaine
I am excited to share that I have these three wonderful options to choose from! I am extremely grateful for those who helped me get here and I am humbled at how humbling it is to be excited to share. Now I need help from TLS to choose the best firm for me! Where should I go? I love international work, so that seems to make White & Case the obvious choice, but I am a chaser of prestige as well, so Wachtell and Cravath are also attractive too. Thanks for your help!

You can have it all--Cravath is by far the most prestigious and is especially famous for both its M&A and international arbitration work. I am not even sure if W&C and WLRK have those practice areas. Easy choice.

I start to feel bad about the W&C trolling that this website has endorsed, but then I remember that terrible online screener they used this past recruitment cycle and I become less empathetic

Also their love for behavioral interviews. No mocking is too low for subjecting me to that.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 6:33 pmI start to feel bad about the W&C trolling that this website has endorsed, but then I remember that terrible online screener they used this past recruitment cycle and I become less empathetic

Ignore this^ anon. Yes, they're that good. Some people on this forum like to deter others from top firms to decrease the competition and increase their own chances. It's a little sad really.

W&C is a perfectly respectable firm. If that was your only option, I’d say go for it. It’s on par with peer firms like Skadden. But if you’re able to choose a firm in the Cravath / Debevoise / WLRL tier, you should.

Fast forward to three years from now when some unsuspecting soul chooses W&C over Cravath solely because they run a TLS search and see these results.

Wouldn't shock me if it's genuinely debatable in three years. It arguably already is for certain practice areas.Excellent117 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 12:16 amFast forward to three years from now when some unsuspecting soul chooses W&C over Cravath solely because they run a TLS search and see these results.
The real tragedy would be if some poor soul picks WachTTTel based on these poll results.

Honestly I see a universe where OP is sincere / eagerly awaiting replies and a universe where OP is sarcastic and both are equally funny in different ways.
In any case, I feel like we don't talk enough about how Skadden is bad. Have at it.
