Should I just choose the most prestigious firm? Do firms like cravath or the other v5 firms provide associates with an easier time lateraling or going inhouse? Is there really any difference between firms in terms of the amount of work or responsiveness that's required?

If corporate, go to the highest Vault ranked firm you get an offer from, provided that you didn't hate anyone you interviewed with. It'll be easier to go in-house from there or you can lateral down the chain. Only caveat is that some firms have a shitty rotation system for corporate people so make sure you can actually develop a specialty within 3 years.

This is wrong for in house. In house does not care about prestige. They care about experience and connections. They will easily take a K&L gates associate with tons of hedge fund experience over v5 m&a associate.

There is no such thing as equal experience since different firms are known for different practice groups. For instance, go to Simpson if you want to go in house into a huge private equity firm but if you want mid-market PE, you go to Latham or Kirkland. if you want to do hedge funds, you're looking at a place like Schultz Roth over the entire v50. If you want to do tech transactions or VC work, I assume you don't even want a NY firm. Unless you're doing m&a or capital markets where prestige of the firm generally tracks the prestige of the practice area, you're not going to find "equal experience" at 2 different firms.

you're basically saying you cant find "equal experience" at 2 different firms bc each practice area has 1 or 2 dominant firms.

this ignores all the associates at those firms doing other practices, or doing those practices at other firms, or at other firms doing other practices.

You can get equal experience at the firms, but what Nutella is talking about is that for in-house you're normally interviewing for a specialized area (not some general corporate position) so your firm's prestige/reputation w/r/t that specialized area is important, i.e., specialized area >>> vault ranking when interviewing for inhouse. So, like, you've probably never heard of Seward & Kissel, but if you're doing fund work they are about as good as any other shop.

Once you go in-house, attorneys don't want to train someone from the ground up. Sure, there is some leeway, but not much. They'll figure, shit I can get a K&E associate but then I'd have to train them to do X type of work, and what if they hate it. Ohh fuck it, I'll just go with Firm Y that is known for it b/c the fucker already knows the basics and likes it enough to practice in that area.

I'm training a junior attorney that we copped straight out of LS. And, it's been a real pain in the ass. My boss just says, "CC Special, you can help him right? Work with him." Fuck me. I can see that his eyes glaze over when I talk about various fed regs.

Edit: But if you don't know what the fuck you want to do, it's generally a safe bet to go with the highest rank firm that you can somewhat tolerate (e.g., location, etc.)

No you can, but what you do at your firm will determine which in-house gig you get. The problem is that your practice area may not be as prestigious as the overall firm. so, I know lil about Lit but stabbing in the dark here. I bet some IP atty from Knobbe Martins/Fish & Richardson is prbly >>> IP lit atty at Gisbon Dunn for IP.

No, you can get an inhouse gig, but don't expect the prestige of the firm to trump someone from a lower ranked firm working in a more prestigious dept. Most of in-house hiring comes down to personality, experience and fit.

Edit: I think I get your point. U'll get the same training, but the fields will be different. All things considered, if you don't know what you're going to do, just go with the higher ranked firm because it'll likely be either good or excellent in everything. Lower ranked firms can be excellent in some things but absolute shit in others.

Not all screwed, but the niche people get the best jobs, regardless of firm ranking. Also the more prestigious the firm, the more they do big m&a and other huge deals and financings, which often have the least relevance in house. Unfortunately law students have no idea about this going into OCI, so I would always ask them what their goal is ultimately and pick the firm based on practice area/group, not vault ranking.

so why not do it the other way -- go to the most prestigious firm possible and then pick the firm's most noteworthy niche practice area (assuming you can avoid BIGDEAL)?

if 1Ls have no fucking clue what niche practice area they want to end up in, they should just go into whatever is the best one at the firm they end up at.

Prestige firm does matter to a certain extent, but if you're looking at V10s, then you can prbly just pick anyone and be fine. You may want to focus on practice group/ranking, which will be more important once you look going inhouse. I know some firms do a rotation system, which kinda sets you back a bit.

Going in-house will depend a lot on experience and personality. I'd rather take someone from a lower ranked firm that has relevant experience and a decent personality than some douche with so-so experience from a V5.

Get the highest Vault offer you can. Then leverage that offer to improve your spot at a lower ranked firm. With the right initial offer and negotiating skills you could turn a standard V5 job into a V20 job plus class year bump, signing bonus, choice of partner mentor, etc. Biglaw is very entrepreneurial. You're shooting yourself in the foot if you just take what you're offered.

not sure what BIGSECONDARY is, but it's also toxic xo 2005 flame to think "midlaw" has better QOL than biglaw.

Most midlaw places certainly have better QOL than t20 biglaw....mostly because the clients are less insane and the deals are less important.

some, sure. you need to really do your homework tho.

most midlaw is just shitlaw plus. better hours on paper, but harder to pad, partners making you cut your own time, shittier support staff, etc.

Depends on who you work for. You can guarantee life at v5 will be hellish. A v20 or so may or may not be, depending on who your team is
