The firm I wanted was Williams & Connolly. Got dinged after the callback.
I had to settle for Wilmer DC.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!kwais wrote:Straw man is made of strawAnonymous User wrote:OP here
WOW!
I didn't expect things to go like this. I wasn't trying to be a douche or anything. Just wanted to see if others out there had more luck getting the jobs they wanted.
Excuse me for being ambitious.

Come on bro, Wilmer DC and W&C aren't even V10, you've got to feel bad that he dropped to a V20...

Got my top choice: the best NLJ250 in my small market. Chose it over Skadden/DPW/STB/Cleary/MoFo. Does this make me the anti-douche?

No, you're still a douche for telling people that you turned down Skadden/DPW/STB/Cleary/MoFo for your NLJ250.

omg guys... lay off the OP. come on. just because you are all bitter about not getting jobs doesn't mean that other people can't complain about their personal situations. seriously. don't read if all you're going to do is hate. perhaps OP could have chosen a better place to complain, but you guys are the reason why most people hate law students: sarcastic, angry and neurotic.

I'm in essentially the same situation job-wise as OP, and I still think he is a douche. Its not bitterness at all. Its objectively calling out a douche on his douchiness.azntwice wrote:omg guys... lay off the OP. come on. just because you are all bitter about not getting jobs doesn't mean that other people can't complain about their personal situations. seriously. don't read if all you're going to do is hate. perhaps OP could have chosen a better place to complain, but you guys are the reason why most people hate law students: sarcastic, angry and neurotic.

For a second I thought, "No way does someone like this exist."
Then I remembered some of the people in my law school class who are like this, or arguably worse.
