Kim & Chang Forum

Thanks yall, except the ignorant poster. This threat is becoming extremely helpful and enjoyable.

This thread makes me feel like a broken Korean since I'm not very smart.

Does your avatar indicate UM Law? If so, and you are broken, I must be decimated.

Yeah Michigan Law. If I were a real Korean I would be at Yale. If I were seriously hard working I would be Kim and Chang material.

I don't know if that is sarcasm. If you "fail" by going to UM Law, I should kill myself for "epic fail". I'm looking at Tier 2 and waitlist at mid Tier 1. And I'm doing whatever I can do get into that mid Tier 1.

Noone will be working at Kim & Chang if that person has no idea about Korea (as you mentioned in an earlier post), and very unlikely if you're only at a Tier 1 to be honest. Only a handful of their hires are foreign JDs (for their US & int. law needs, mostly) and even then those are, as someone mentioned earlier, high T14 Korean students that decide to work in Korea.

but then again, if you know someone inside... heh.

Don't worry nooy. I'm just overly obsessed by this hilarious sentence:

Considering how smart Koreans are in general, people at KIM & CHANG are very very smart.( and seriously hard working)

I should get over it.

It's weird since I did/do work hard but my intelligence may/may-not be there. LoL. Wonder where my cousins got their intelligence from.

Not only do they have the best of the best, they are also armed to the teeth with former government officials - judges, prosecutors, regulators, tax specialists, and even JAG officers - and successfully evade every attempt by the government to control them. Everyone knows they are guilty of tax evasion (every year) but the government just can't seem to touch them. Bad. Ass.

sorry... that concept is mutually exclusive with being korean...

they are one thing... hard workers (and smart) but HARD workers is what's important, on top of being intelligent..

Kim & Chang.. seriously?

Is there Ching & Chang, too?

don't be ignorant.

There's also a Ying & Yang as well as a Yang & Ying.

IMO if you make partner at Kim & Chang that is pretty much the endgame in Korea as far as a career in law goes.

Thought it worth mentioning that Kim & Chang does not have a partnership structure - the company is wholly owned by one person. Apparently due to tax reasons.
They do have levels though, "junior associate" "senior associate" etc.

If OP is in Michigan Law, he shouldn't feel too down about his chances at Kim & Chang based on school prestige. Not everyone there went to YHS. This is completely anecdotal but their US IP attorney I recently worked with went to WUSTL. I also remember going through their people list and seeing schools like UPitt, McGeorge, etc. But of course all the native Korean attorneys went to SNU.

As mentioned numerous times above, they are most certainly badass.
I just graduated from one of the SKY unis and it's pretty much widely known around here that it's like the McKinsey of the Korean legal field hands down.
Regardless, good luck if you want to go for it OP.
Just remember that you would be facing thousands of crazy talented, scary smart and thoroughly badass Koreans. It won't be pretty. 화이팅~~!

I just figured being hardworking is a necessary condition for being korean. it's the gift and the curse. lol

[ylee0331]

wow, I didn't realize there were so many krns here. sign me up for the club as well, guys (or gals).

[ylee0331]

[Anonymous User]

for every post here there should be a significantly higher number of korean lurkers, too.

I would be down for that. maybe enough to drop the anonymous posting, too.
maybe we should start an online group of some sort. respectful request to someone who's not a 컴맹 like me.
