Property management isn't anything like big law.Anonymous User wrote:OP here -- thanks for all the responses. it sounds like I can count on my experience as WE, and it may be a good talking point in an interview - encouraging.
For DF: I dont want to get into too much detail here, but I don't do maintenance. I work in a service industry very similar to biglaw (from my understanding of it). I have clients who have emergencies (they aren't really emergencies but I have to address them as such). I also know how to deal with clients, how to manage them in an efficient manner, how to compromise and how to be professional with an end goal in sight. I think that may show some people that I have at least an ounce of maturity. Also, - per my "shitty" WE - I make much more than a first year biglaw associate and I work about 20 hours a week, I can boast a revenue of near 3/4 of a million in less than 2 years. Not too bad, right?
I'm interested in law because running my business was not intellectually stimulating or rewarding "career" type path.
I'd switch places with you but it's still not good we for big law.
