Any other comments about my asking about pay? Mr. Matlock put me at ease but I am obsessive about this kind of crap, so make me feel even better people.

Bumpage. Please tell me I'm being paid. It's a logical inference, right?

You're being paid. If you already asked them, I'm sure they will email you back tomorrow and tell you how much.

I hope so, haha, but it was like he emailed me, then I emailed him right back and got nothing back.....the silence is scary man. It was around the time it seems they would call it a night though, so I'm probably overreacting. Thanks for the "making me feel better" ness.

Hmmm.....odds are most of the regulars will know who I am right off the bat, but I'll try to keep some anonymity here:

t3/4 school, top 10% (at least). Got this job a very strange way. I knew somebody that used this firm before and she said some really great things about the founding attorney. I contacted the attorney and he set me up w/ an interview. Mass mailing, emailing, everything else did not work for me, yet contacting an attorney who I had no relationship w/ but we had a common person between us worked. Haha, go figure. This firm is awesome btw and I couldn't really think of a better place to intern this summer.

Anyway, it is a botique law firm with about 10 attorneys.

I like how you describe getting the job as a "very strange way" when it's textbook networking Congrats!

I guess so but it just seems so weird that I could just randomly contact a firm where someone I knew was a client and them interview me for a job, just like that, whereas all of the traditional methods failed me.....and I have good grades! Haha.

Thanks.

Yeah, I'm being paid like $25 an hour. LOL, I was thinking I'd be working for no money, then was hoping for like minimum wage or something, haha, then they give me $25 an hour. I love this firm. The most I've ever made in my life was like $14 an hour.
