New graduates-you better be enjoying your last bit of freedo

Post by 09042014 » Sun Aug 10, 2014 12:08 pm

Cause big law is coming.

The first 4-5 months you'll love it! Oh it's so exciting to be involved in such important deal / litigation!

Month 6 - People start giving you real work and that means they expect you do to real work. Now your ass is on the line for your work product, but you still don't know what the fuck you are doing. You start to wonder why stuff is always so urgent. This sort of sucks but you still feel important.

Your friend who you always suspected of being week announces on facebook that they took a new job in a weak non prestigious job. You think they are cowards.

Month 7 - Okay, now I know this shit doesn't have to be done tonight but this midlevel wants its ASAP. What a dick

Month 8 - While watching orange is the new black (during work at 9pm while waiting for edits from a midlevel) you get horny thinking about shanking the midlevel

Month 9 - Summers are here. Their eagerness is annoying, but they are a source of free food.

Month 10 - You cry at your desk for 3 straight nights to get a deal done taht ends up going away anyway.

Month 11- Summers are gone and you didn't learn any of their names. You get an email from a partner staffing you on another case even though you have too many already. You try to say something about it but are promptly ignored.

Month 12 - Your fellow graduates are moving to new firms for some reason. You dream of quitting with no backup option.

My firm had a meeting of all the first years right at the 6 month mark. It basically sounded like group therapy.

Why would I brag about biglaw. Everyone who isn't a total idiot has a good chance at it from a T14. Nothing prestiguous about just getting a biglaw job.

Sulcrom thread makes it seem like it's a V5 only problem.

That's not the "SullCrom" post. It's just definitive proof that people here crib from xo to prove they're cool (which is almost as perverse as people going to law school to become a lawyer).

That is the SullCrom post and it says at the bottom that it's copied. Everybody knows about xo. It's not a secret website.

Doesn't sullcrom give gym bags that are the cylindrical canvass ones? If so that's smart since the logo is necessarily always facing out.
