"One law firm wanted to remove its associates’ biographies from its website, so other firms couldn’t find them, . . . . Some firms monitor web traffic to lawyers listed on their sites, which could mean that the person is interviewing, she said.

Some firms are also wary of lawyers who engage on LinkedIn because it could mean that they want to network in hopes of finding a new position . . . . one firm offering a bonus to those without a LinkedIn presence or those who agree to let the firm manage their LinkedIn account.

Some firms also discourage bar involvement and networking, in fear that the participating lawyers will become known to firms that want to recruit them."

If a firm pays off my student loans, I will sign a contract saying I will not voluntarily leave for X number of years.
