First Day of SA in NYC
Getting pretty nervous (but excited too) about starting my SA in NYC in a few weeks. What can I expect the first day to be like?

You probably won't do anything except go out to lunch and meet people/your practice group.

It might honestly just be IT training/HR stuff and you meeting the rest of your summer class, with a lunch and maybe night event thrown in.

Everyone will be overdressed and uptight. Probably orientation and no real work.butlerraider1 wrote:Getting pretty nervous (but excited too) about starting my SA in NYC in a few weeks. What can I expect the first day to be like?

Re: First Day of SA in NYC
fuck I wish I was about to start another SA
Perma SA would be like the literal ultimate job. Work a few hours every day, walk around the office chatting with friends all day, and go out party every night. Plus luxury meals and random days off work to go to baseball games. fuhhhhhh

I know. Gearing up for a full summer of being shit broke and studying for the bar is the actual worst compared to last summer.ballouttacontrol wrote:fuck I wish I was about to start another SA

Ever see the opening scene of Full Metal Jacket? It's more or less exactly like that only with the Managing Partner doing the "dressing down".

930-1030 - Welcome speech from recruiting/managing partner/someone
1030-1115 - Firm tour, maybe find and sit in your office
1115-1130 - Break
1130-1230 - Some lecture on something, probably like intro the firm practice groups and assignment system
1230-230 - Lunch with associates
230-300 - Break
300-500 - Another lecture on something, probably something boring like insider trading, confidentiality, social media behavior, etc
