5'11''-6'1'' and 190-215 lbs = perfect build in most cases. I dont know how this affects job prospects though.

Good thread :p

so being 6'7", 205 lbs is probably not the way to go, huh...

I always have a perceived lack of stature compared to others of above average height so I've always compensated for it by phenomenal work ethic. It seems those who are taller always work less but can assume leadership position. Those who are shorter but more hard-working can only be secondary.

I imagined an immigrant Asian voice as I was reading this post.

Why would someone who posted something like the latter, also post something like the former?

Well, because it was true, asshole. As I was reading the post, I imagined an Asian voice. It wasn't even the height thing that made me think that; it was the comment about 99.99 LSAT percentile. I am not very sensitive about my height, and apparently at least three hiring partners were willing to look past it. At least I'm willing to take credit for my own jokes. Everyone who posts here from my school knows who I am IRL. I'm not some pussy who hides his identity with anonymous posts.

Hey mods, how about outing this asshole for abusing the anoymous feature?
