Seattle Market

Post by SummerAssociate1689 » Sat Jul 09, 2022 7:15 pm

Junior at V5 M&A. Wife got a great job offer out in Seattle so I'm looking to lateral. Anyone familiar with the Seattle Biglaw industry willing to give a breakdown? Looking at Perkins Coie, Cooley, WSGR. Would like to stay a few years before exiting in house to a company HQ'd in Washington - Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, Costco, etc.

Sorry to mooch off this topic, but are there lateral opportunities for private equity in Seattle (Junior at V10).

Go to their websites and see what openings they have. If they don't have any openings, you could try cold-calling them, but it's pretty unlikely they'll create a position for you.

I guess I should clarify. Your options are probably limited, and breaking into the Seattle market can be tough for someone with no ties. So you should apply to relevant any opening you see.
