Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. Employment - Possibly the best team. Very understanding partners, structured teams, great quality work. No complaints. They have had negligible attrition in the last few years because of how well functioning the team is. 2. GC under Reeba is also good - most partners are good and reasonable to work under. Try asking about each partner before applying. Great work. You won't have a bad time for sure. Not many PAs might be a put off and create problems for sure. Some politics between associates is also something to be mindful about.
3. TMT/capital markets/public M&A - great work but insanely high expectations. Long hours. Some demanding partners might spoil the experience. Take this if you have a particular interest in the field.
4. Disputes - a couple of odd nuts make this an avoidable team. They can be heard screaming at their juniors from another wing of the office. They're extremely moody and toxic. Take this only if you have a keen interest in disputes and can deal with some of the most frustrating seniors. Partners are fine though. Might not learn much but you'll survive.
5. Banking and finance/Real estate - just avoid it. Don't even think about it and run far away from both teams.
They barely have time to quit between staying till 1 am, crying, and getting screamed at from their seniors.
If a partners wife is quitting when she's SA and promotable to PA, there's something wrong with the place
