And some people would probably rather risk a strike out rather than move to NYC for their cruel biglaw.

Such dumb.

We do need to constantly remind 0L's of this fact. You don't get to assume employment numbers apply equally everywhere. "I'm going to Penn because it places great in biglaw. Oh and I won't work in NYC, DC, or Chicago. I want Portland or Miami" means you get disqualified from law school.

It is a hard choice, don't discount it. If you are marginal for your market, yea, you'd be stupid not to bid NYC. But a lot of people are like Top third. That gets you Chicago like 80% of the time. But it gets you NYC 95%.

Why? Trying to crack Chicago, California, or god forbid rustbelt biglaw is way harder.

I guess the question then is why so dumb? Like half the class purposely rolls with an awful bidding strategy. Maybe the intimidator's CSO comments are smarter than I thought.

Plenty of people don't want to work in NYC or live there or work in Biglaw. The midwest is very chill and it's also probably true that people going to a chill, public like Michigan are much less about the biglaw NYC life than people at Penn, Cornell, and even Duke.

Don't expect Berkeley's employment numbers any time soon. They haven't submitted them for publishing and they won't be updating the website until the end of the month.

[ub3r]

If each of the T14 were people, dating Berkeley would be an absolute nightmare.


I considered a few versions of "why is Berkeley always making things so difficult" before finally settling on this one.

I always wonder what the "Business & Industry" jobs consist of. It probably varies considerably based on school tier, but it would be interesting to know.

also, i feel like going in-house directly out of law school (although still fairly rare) is becoming more of a thing, especially for transactional people who missed the biglaw boat.

in house and compliance are big.

Here is what NU's looks like. 82% of business report their salaries and bottom 25% of those reported are 113k. Not too shabby

This is from a 75-100 school, I was wondering this too and came upon it today: http://i.imgur.com/vP281ax.jpg

1/3 of this category is still listed as "other"

i'm sure the lower-ranked the school the shittier the "business & industry" jobs tend to be. at higher ranked schools, legit in-house gigs are way easier to come by.

So Biglaw is booming again? Or is the extra month making that much of a difference?

Penn jumped 9%, Duke jumped 10%, and this is the OCI class of 2012.

Oh I get it I'm not a fan of living in a third world country either but unemployed instead? DF's answer of top third only having 80% chance says a lot though.

Extra month did nothing for biglaw. Biglaw hiring has definitely picked up over the last couple years.

YHS

Which one closest to 100?

[WeeBey]

Particularly NYC right? So we should expect similar increases at Columbia, NYU, Cornell? Ill feel alot happier taking the money at Cornell and running if they can get their number over 70%.

[Mack.Hambleton]

arent they already at 70 including FC?

[WeeBey]

Harvard prolly, but Columbia will beat them, maybe Chicago too.

[WeeBey]

Basically, 68 lol

Maybe they'll pull a 2010 and place 80%.

don't worry too much about one year. Cornell is pretty much always TCR if you want NYC.

The increases from Penn/Duke/UVA could just be more people realizing the need to bid NYC. Everyone at CLS/NYU/Cornell already does so no guarantee there will be much change.

[WeeBey]

Actually, they probably will. They beat Duke in terms of NLJ250, but I doubt they'll put up similar clerkship numbers.

34 school funded jobs is still pretty meh

I get that maybe a school funded gig could be a segue into a full time PI job, but collecting paychecks from your school for 10+ months after graduation seems less than ideal

Normally I'd agree, but school funded jobs come in different colors. UVAs school funded jobs are fairly desirable for those interested in PI. You find a PI employer you really like, and even if they can't hire you, UVA will pay you a salary for a year.

Salary as in cashier or barista? Seriously, I am attending the other LS that has embarrassingly embraced SFJ to absurdity. I knew about it going in but it was overlookable given a near full ride and living at home. In looking at these employment stats, I figure 2016/17 is a ways away.

I do not personally know anyone with a SFJ, but I hear it’s perceived only slightly better than being jobless.
