Just wasted a half hour of my life reading this. I'll never get that time back. If there's one thing TLS is amazing at, it's feeding the trolls.

Leverage? Decent TV show but they cancelled it. It was about time anyways. I did enjoy watching it, though.greekdebtcrisis wrote:No it's just pure stupidity you're trying to spread.

I like it. Anyway, I respond through my phone so I am OK with mistakes made on my end. (My favorite is when people attack you on your writing...it says a lot about those individuals. It's the substance that matters in this thread imho.)lawman84 wrote:Leverage? Decent TV show but they cancelled it. It was about time anyways.

I've actually heard of people getting better than normal deals, but they involve something extraordinary. (SCOTUS clerk negotiating down hours expectation, someone getting a class year boost, firms putting up with very short periods of time in employment between clerkships).
But yeah, some of the things you're talking about just don't exist on the law side. There's not much to negotiate for first years.
Sorry, V10 is not sufficiently prestigious. If V5 (but non-Skadden) partner confirms, I will believe you. Please have partner PM me terms. TIA.greekdebtcrisis wrote: I just feel like you won't believe me unless I have some v10 partners call you up and go through the terms of the agreements which they negotiated with their incoming first years.
V5? I guess this is OK if you like the opinion of peasants. WLRK (and MAYBE Cravath) are the only authorities that can talk about anything ever in law. And of course equity partners only it goes without saying.rpupkin wrote:Sorry, V10 is not sufficiently prestigious. If V5 (but non-Skadden) partner confirms, I will believe you.

I don't know what you need to prove you wrong but I think you're a lost cause by now or you're just saying this to hurt others.ndirish2010 wrote:The whole thread.greekdebtcrisis wrote:Like what?ndirish2010 wrote:People think you're trolling because you're blatantly making shit up.

The one in this thread who is intentionally hurting others is you, not me.greekdebtcrisis wrote:I don't know what you need to prove you wrong but I think you're a lost cause by now or you're just saying this to hurt others.ndirish2010 wrote:The whole thread.greekdebtcrisis wrote:Like what?ndirish2010 wrote:People think you're trolling because you're blatantly making shit up.

Either be more concrete so that I can try to clarify things for you or stop posting silly responses like "this whole thread," as they are unhelpful to me and to others.
Do you work at a law firm? Have you worked in biglaw? I'm trying to figure out what your angle is in here and how you can contribute constructively.

I just don't understand why trolls would spend the time to do this. Damn, what kind of person is going to invest that time and energy to say, at the end of it all, "hah I got them good!"
I actually don't think OP is an intentional troll. He wanted to spark a provocative discussion, but he lacked the insight and the writing skills to get such a discussion going. When posters started questioning some of his assumptions, he reached and asserted some implausible things he thought were true. When the skepticism mounted, he retracted into a PM-me-for-the-real-answers turtle shell.mr.hands wrote:Yeah ok I'm also tired.

So this seems to undermine any thoughtful contribution on your behalf. Does your SO work in biglaw? I'm just trying to figure out how you can make silly claims without having even had experience in the field.ndirish2010 wrote:The one in this thread who is intentionally hurting others is you, not me.greekdebtcrisis wrote:I don't know what you need to prove you wrong but I think you're a lost cause by now or you're just saying this to hurt others.ndirish2010 wrote:The whole thread.greekdebtcrisis wrote:Like what?ndirish2010 wrote:People think you're trolling because you're blatantly making shit up.

My employment is neither here nor there. I am a lawyer, I don't work in biglaw, nor do I want to.
