Sidley associate here…mass exodus sounds about right. Morale is low. Hours are high and people keep jumping ship. Firm heads won’t actually listen to associates, we’re asking for wfh flexibility and they like yeah come into the office full time.

I have seen the phrase “morale is low” probably 5,000 times since I started in biglaw. That said, I can’t imagine sidley’s Dallas office would be a fun place to be.
Former Sidley - it’s a horrible place to work. It’s that simple.

Me right now
Same thing happening at Latham
Same thing happening at most of the vault 20 firms:)
Author associate: Don’t judge me. I’m fairly sure you don’t know me. My firm is nowhere near KE and we need to value our associates and show them. Otherwise we’ll lose them. I feel grateful to have my job, my career and my firm, and I also feel grateful to work with many (but not all) of the associates on my team. There is nothing better in this business than helping and watching them achieve their potential. If you spent less time maximizing near-team money and more time focusing on longer-term and broader results, you might learn these things. Good luck!
👀👀
Same thing happening at PW 👀. So many people leaving.
Overworked and also looking to expand. That’s generally it.

What office/group?
Corporate group is insane, the hours are off the charts. I hear it’s like that at all V20 firms though but idk. Yah turnover has been high though.

I don’t know if anyone expects it to be different but you may as well get recruitment bonuses and whatever else is being offered.
Is it? News to me…
Seems fine in London other than usual biglaw pressures post commencement of the pandemic.
Can’t speak for the US though…
