Date: June 26th, 2010 12:10 PM Author: slate nighttime knife Midlaw.
I was resigned to failure all last year. I was applying for and being rejected by really shitty, really low paying jobs. I figured I'd probably get some kind of shitlaw a few months after being licensed.
Then out of nowhere this comparatively decent midlaw firm got back to me and asked me to interview. I had some experience w/ the kind of work they do and I highlighted that on the resume/cover letter. Once they called me in, I think it helped that I spoke highly (or at least respectfully) of the piece of shit firm that no-offered me, and that a partner at said firm was willing to vouch for me. I don't know whether they spoke with him or not, but it helped me to look them in the eye and confidently say that the no-offer was their fault, not mine. |

thanks hiring partner. i guess it's a good thing you kept your PPP at $1.2 million instead of $1.1 million. i'm sure you and your family needs it.
i think about killing myself every day. i guess it's a good thing i don't have the balls. |

Date: June 26th, 2010 10:28 AM Author: Razzmatazz Rusted Church Liquid Oxygen Saw a partner at the firm I was no-offered at at a bar by my school during some sort of reunion.

Date: June 26th, 2010 8:58 AM Author: Violet adventurous circlehead police squad Dude, I feel sorry for you that this happened to you, but many firms were overstaffed. They shouldn't have to carry a bloated amount of employees just like we wouldn't expect a blue-collar employer to keep workers on just to shelter them from the outside world. Why shouldn't firms try to be as profitable as they can? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1348845&forum_id=2#15346200) |

Date: June 26th, 2010 9:52 AM Author: startling rigor are you being for real?
law is practically the only industry where you get one crack at the apple. if you fuck it up AND/OR if it is taken from you, you are almost assuredly shit out of luck w/r/t biglaw. law firms know this which is why they historically maintained near 100% offer rates.

Date: June 30th, 2010 9:23 AM Author: Frozen Feces What is "biglaw?" Do you mean a V10? If so you're pretty much right. Otherwise this is wrong. People can lateral into market-paying gigs from non market-paying gigs and do so all of the time. Probably half of the associates I knew at my V50 summer firm did this.
Fucking relax with this noise, it's wrong. |
|
Date: June 30th, 2010 10:35 AM Author: thriller hyperactive locale even lateraling to V10, I've seen plenty come from low V100's or even unranked firms. Granted, WLRK and CSM probably won't take you. Granted also, most of the laterals (but certainly not all) had decent "stats" like T14, honors, clerkship, etc. Point being, your first firm doesnt determine your career
Plus, the "higher up" you go in the V-rankings, the higher chance you'll be a burnout and burnout sooner. CSM, half the associates leave after the first 1.5-2y rotation. Especially ITE where more are forced out, I'm pretty sure most end up taking far less prestigious/lucrative positions to follow |

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:07 PM Author: Ultramarine Bossy Mad Cow Disease Piazza recent studies showed that firing bosses (or other a-holes) interpret ambiguity about an a-hole decision in a more positive light than is reasonable to justify their selfish decisions.
ie i fire him but he be fine even though conventional wisdom only a year ago was that no offer ruins your life and we ourselves explicitly stated this during offer discussions. |

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:10 PM Author: Ultramarine Bossy Mad Cow Disease Piazza man, this is so bunk. even hard core capitalist economists right now are reconsidering ideas like the one you just expressed after seeing the harm caused ite.
we already have laws in place to protect against this kind of thing in some situations (ie tortious interference with contract "why should it be wrong to get someone to break their K if they can make more money?")
fyi do you have an econ background? it's obnoxious when non-econ background people discuss these things. their understanding is so limited they spout off some basic talking points they've heard without having much understanding about what they heck they're talking about. |
