By extension, they make even more profit at McDonald’s, so OP should go flip burgers there and be even more protected in a downturn.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 4:04 amPersonally I would pick Milbank between the two. But that’s because I think associates there have a better QOL and ultimately the firm is just as profitable, so you’re equally protected if a recession happens. STB is definitely stronger at M&A though, if you are legitimately interested in that.
RPL definitely impacts how firms act in difficult financial times. When Covid hit in 2020, it was the highly profitable firms that maintained normality by starting associates on time, not doing stealth layoffs, etc.Res Ipsa Loquitter wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 9:58 amBy extension, they make even more profit at McDonald’s, so OP should go flip burgers there and be even more protected in a downturn.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 4:04 amPersonally I would pick Milbank between the two.

RPL is not even a measure of profit, so I can tell you’re out of your depth. And one of the most profitable firms (S&C) stiffed their summers anyway in 2020.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 11:48 amRPL definitely impacts how firms act in difficult financial times.

In the previous poster's defense, RPL and PPL rank track very closely for most firms (Gibson is an exception here, top five PPL but only top 15 or so for RPL). However, STB is certainly the safer bet in this regard due to the strength of the client base and higher historical profit and revenue. It's very rare for Milbank to beat STB on these metrics.Res Ipsa Loquitter wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 12:22 pmRPL is not even a measure of profit, so I can tell you’re out of your depth.

I totally get the logic of taking a pass on the V10. The issue here is OP isn’t clear in what he wants and Milbank is strong mainly in niche practice areas. Somewhere like Willkie would be safer.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 5:08 pmIn the previous poster's defense, RPL and PPL rank track very closely for most firms (Gibson is an exception here, top five PPL but only top 15 or so for RPL).

That being said, you might be surprised how many people turn down or never apply to the creme de la creme firms of financial success - including Wachtell, Kirkland, Sullcrom, and Simpson - simply because of lifestyle concerns.

Because Willkie is better at general corporate and M&A that law students are more likely to want to work in. whereas at milbank the best practices are less popular and more niche.etmcnamara69 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 5:23 pmWhy would Willkie be safer?Res Ipsa Loquitter wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 6:11 pmI totally get the logic of taking a pass on the V10.

This is good advice.
