work-life balance difference between Toronto big law and NYC big law?
Not sure what you mean. Davies doesn't have a billable target so I understand their associates don't even bother working.- 1

Weird, do these firms usually release all at once or on a rolling basis? -

work-life balance difference between Toronto big law and NYC big law?
Your comment adds no value to this thread. It's already been mentioned that the extra hours worked may have a material difference to one's life –– and that ultimately comes down to whether one sees it as a worthwhile sacrifice for the added benefits. As for what's in it for me to contribute to this thread –– what's in it for anyone to contribute to any thread here? It's an online forum for discussion. If you disagree with my points then go ahead, but there's no need to get personal or be a dick about it.- 1

Osgoode OCIs (ITCs, PFOs etc)
Osler sent ITCs yesterday and today as well. They seem to have some kind of rolling process -

Osgoode OCIs (ITCs, PFOs etc)
I've heard someone got an ITC. However, the firms still have to OCI Queens, U of T, and Ottawa U (ending Oct 15th), so many of us are probably in a "maybe" pile, and we will hear after that. It ain't over till it's over. -

Vancouver Recruit
No - in-firms are over two weeks away. Some firms emailed me immediately, and some firms waited to send an email with full details (roughly a week or so from in-firms). -

Vancouver Recruit
Still have not received a confirmation email from two firms in Vancouver for in-firms. They did call on call day and scheduled me and said they’d email but haven’t— should I be worried? -

UofC Chances?? L2 GPA: 3.82 LSAT: 160
Would appreciate what you think my odds are of getting in. Decent softs, but I’m worried about my LSAT (if I do need to take it again it would be for the following cycle) -

work-life balance difference between Toronto big law and NYC big law?
My hypothesis (untested) is that the kind of person that pursues NY biglaw (and has it as as an option) is probably the kind of person that would bill more than 1,700 hours if they were working in Canada. Undoubtedly the billable hour expectations in NY are higher than they are in Canada, but my gut is that a person choosing between the two options is likely to experience less of a delta in hours worked than the billable hour target would suggest. Admittedly this hypothesis is strained for the COVID era when heading south required much less initiative and I don’t think it’s controversial to say that many more Canadians ended up in the USA than would typically be the case. If you’re at all inclined, I would encourage you to try your shot at NY. It is very easy to end up being an overworked Canadian biglaw lawyer that is working NY-acceptable hours and making a Canadian salary.- 1
