If you had post-grad West Coast offers from MTO and Susman, which one would you go with and why?

I don't think Susman's hours are worth it for mere mortals with finite time on this little blue dust mote

If you are dead-set on being a trial lawyer and don't mind working very hard, Susman. If not, MTO. Your experience at MTO will vary hugely depending on who you work with, but MTO offers sophisticated work, unusually good partnership prospects, and at least the possibility of a relatively humane lifestyle. You will make more money and probably become a better trial lawyer at Susman, but you will work like a dog.

How long are the typical hours?

Why do we even pretend to have anonymous posting and response rules.

This thread isn't so bad; OP definitely should be anon and the replies are broadly within reason

Anon abuse is a problem when it's pure invective/shitposting or when people start sockpuppeting
