Mitchell Carbullido Corporate Associate

"The firm has a career continuum program that helps keep us on track. It lays out the skills you need to master and the goals that you're expected to achieve as you move from a junior associate to a senior associate. There are separate continuum programs for the corporate and litigation departments. And it's really helpful - I see it as a kind of a personal checklist to let me know whether I am getting the kind of experiences I need and advancing at the right pace. If I feel I'm falling behind in one set of skills, I can request the appropriate type of work and focus on developing those skills.

A lot of firms might put you into a certain group at the start of your career, and you'll keep doing the same type of work again and again. You'll get very good at certain type of work, very efficient. But that doesn't help you become a better attorney overall. The continuum program shows that Paul, Weiss has a vested interest in making you a well-rounded attorney and giving you a very diverse experience."
