Apologies if this was already covered, but did Vault eliminate the "New York" firm rankings?

NY rankings are out now (along with other updated rankings for regions, practice area, best to work for, etc.)

Can someone please tell me WTF is going on with this list? https://firsthand.co/best-companies-to- ... electivity

The only things the selectivity list gets right are: (1) WLRK at the top, and (2) K&E at the absolute bottom

I'm all for shitting on K&E, but McDermott blowing them out of the water? Like what? If I were at Vault I'd stop publishing this list it's so embarrassing.

McDonald's is #1/#2 in nearly all the categories. Interesting, totally nothing clearly off about that at all, right FirstHand?

#1 for transparency in that they transparently cooked the books.
#1 for associate/partner relations in that partners force associates to lie on surveys.
#1 for quality of work in that they rank themselves #1 for everything.

Maybe Vault should have spent more time looking at their methods and for abuse and less time rebranding into whatever First Hand is. Epic fail.

Why are Kirkland and Skadden on the Midwest ranking? Did I miss something, or did they make an obvious mistake?

How much do you think McDermott's recruiting department had to pay to get the top spot in all these random unquantifiable secondary categories?

Yes, duh—Chicago firms are generally not listed on the Midwest ranking—it’s really a Midwest-minus-Chicago ranking, which is why it’s so weird
