The bonuses are the same in every firm but Wachtell so thats not why people go. The term V10 is kind of an arbitrary one. A top firm looks good on a resume, probably has interesting work, those are reasons to go there. But V10 isn't really the big deal. Some firms outside of the V10 are amazing at one thing, (paul weiss, Quinn Emmanuel) and are worth going to above a V10 if you prefer it.I'm all about Quinn Emanuel if I ever do biglaw.

The appropriateness of Perpetua would probably depend on the tone of the writing. When I used it, I (half playfully) thought the extra space made the words sort of resonate.
