Re: Dude, I got a Dell!
y'all sound miserable............here's a Q. so I don't have that much debt.... I was wondering if it would be wise for me to take out a 5-7k grad plus loan (for the first time) to live more comfortably the next couple of months. I'm thinking the cash is worth much more to me now than it will when I start big law next year. What do you guys think?

Aren't grad plus loans carrying something like ~7% interest? Probably smarter to continue to drink shitty beer and well liquor for another year.Anonymous User wrote:y'all sound miserable............here's a Q. so I don't have that much debt....

Re: Dude, I got a Dell!
I don't get why people are so exited to hear about a firm's "open door" policy. I'd love to keep my door shut, but apparently that'll raise eyebrows.

I got out on a case that's going "full steam ahead" and requires "all hands on deck," so...plenty. I'm no superjunior, just another warm body.smaug wrote:How many hours you bill so far BD, superjunior?

Re: Dude, I got a Dell!
There are plenty of meanings. One, that you can stroll into some partner's office with some half-baked idea or question whenever you please. The other, more literal, that your door is open. My firm appears to have adopted the latter.Nebby wrote:I don't think you fully understand what an "open door" policy means.brotherdarkness wrote:I don't get why people are so exited to hear about a firm's "open door" policy.

Surprisingly common at law firms, since doors are always open but no one wants to help you with anything or speak to you.Nebby wrote:I don't think you fully understand what an "open door" policy means.brotherdarkness wrote:I don't get why people are so exited to hear about a firm's "open door" policy.

(Also I also bought a Dell - an XPS 13. Citrix doesn't handle the super high resolution very well right now. Works great when plugged into a monitor though.)

Re: Dude, I got a Dell!
look at private student loans if you just need a COL supplement. For example, discover gave me effectively stafford payback terms with no initial fee and a ~5-6% interest and no cosigner (and I don't have an extensive credit history).Anonymous User wrote:y'all sound miserable............here's a Q. so I don't have that much debt....
