Because everyone who says it is a stupid shithead who doesn't know anything about biglaw.Danger Zone wrote:Why lol? Unless you mean in an interview. Then lol. But I wouldn't think anything of it if a classmate said that.

Most in house jobs are objectively terrible in just about every way except for hours/stress.Flanker1067 wrote:That's not funny. I know people who went into biglaw with that attitude and I hope it works out for them. It's actually a great plan if you want a certain job, like in house, where it practically is the only way.
But yes I agree that it would be funny in an interview.

"I'd like to work in biglaw...." No, just no. No one who knows what biglaw is would "like" to work in biglaw, unless you also like hurting yourself.brotherdarkness wrote:I don't follow...

What if someone is in their third year of law school, has accumulated a lot of debt, has summered in "biglaw", and wants to "work in biglaw for a while" so as to pay off their debt as quickly as possible and to put themselves in a position where they could work in a different, less taxing position in a few years? They are incorrect about this? Is the reason they are incorrect because no matter the benefits, having to work with a bunch of cryptic, pompous, whiney assholes for any amount of time not worth it?Biglaw_Associate_V20 wrote:"I'd like to work in biglaw...."
