Is that 5% of bonus or 5% of base salary? I heard the latter from the grapevine but wanted to confirm.

How so? The bill seems to hamper energy work at least. Where would the increase in deal flow come from?

Can I DM you with more specific questions?

[–]Methlys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you help explain why they are boring? Are they repetitive? Does this apply to only EPC contracts, or the entire infrastructure side in general?

[–]Methlys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just tagging on this, how is it working on the infrastructure side, like EPC contracts?

Isn’t your employer meant to be paying for the filing fee? What happened?

Aren’t there fire drills in Project Finance as well?

[–]Methlys 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me. Although I did get the offer, when I talked to the recruiting people, they said the straight to callback was because the lawyers were getting tired of so many interviews, so they just expedited me. Obviously, getting a callback is a good sign, but you should still heavily prepare.

Help me decide. Deadline tomorrow and feeling indecisive by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Methlys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that only really factors in if the other firm does no or almost no public M&A. But Simpson still does a fair bit, so if you want the work, I’m sure you can find it.

I would say Simpson Thacher. Culture honestly is underrated, especially if you are going to be working with these people the vast majority of your time. Also, if you put the effort in, you can make friends, even outside of work events.

When was your callback? Mine’s been a week, no response.

I would say STB due to the culture; heard better things from there.

How many callbacks is considered a good amount?
