Jsa has a hiring freeze, teams in general at jsa expects associates to know it all. They want to keep associates less so that the bill sharing that takes places is less.
Hiring freeze is far from the truth. The firm has recently onboarded a new partner from D&D with a full team and it seems some more team hires are underway. Campus hire is not the only way to recruit. I believe the firm visited a number of NLUs last year and has made offers to candidates. Several interns have also received PPOs. Comp structure with bill share are far better than other firms.
The senior partners are on the verge of mass exodus with their teams. The management committee is having conflict with the senior partner. A dynamite is going to burst soon.
That's simply not true lol. Every JSA thread for the past decade has had this doomsday comment about an exodus, and yet everything continues as normal.
No EP exodus coming. In fact one new EP has joined with his entire team and several in the pipeline. Most EPs are elevated within the firm. Russia / China model is all rumours. Transparency wise firm is believed to be the best at senior level.
JSA is not a firm that has actively hired via Day Z in the past few years, with the exception being the last year for the 2023 batch. However, the internal policies & HR coordination had become so misaligned with the Day Z process, that they actually ended up giving offers on Day Z without even asking the partners whether they had any vacancies. On the other hand, the unaware equity partners — who are anyway unwilling to hire generally because of the potential loss under the bill sharing policy — had already given out few PPOs to fill any vacancies.
As a result, the firm ended up with surplus associates that they had to mail partners about — basically requesting them to consider adding them to the team. For a firm culture that famously makes students intern for 3-6 months before handing out a PPO, that simply did not suit them. They're still dealing with that surplus, so I highly doubt that they're in the position to come for Day Z again.
Again not true from what I hear – firm is set to have a three day sponsored camp soon for all new hires attended by senior management. Need some fact checking.
There's a definitely a needless surplus. ~30 PPOs have gone out and HR is wondering where to put them all since a corresponding number of vacancies simply do not exist.
How do you people write such bull so confidently? Only EPs are authorized to give PPOs. You'd know this if you were actually in JSA because our HR can't even do rangoli competitions they're that toothless. How exactly would 30PPOs be handed out without a corresponding vacancy?
