Serious question, do you actually think you're funny sometimes? I see posts like this and wonder. I know you are running the whole "I'm big law and you're not" shtick a lot on this site and I see it in all your threads. I like the consistency and appreciate it but think it might be better to run a shtick that like half the site is also not a part of (and doesn't post about as if they are the only big law associate on this site).

tl;dr i think you have some trolling/shtick skills, but you'd be better off trying a different approach

trying to wrap my mind around how insecure you would have to be to think this is DF's schtick

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt I guess calling it a shtick. The alternative is far worse.

I literally have no idea what you're saying. It just seems shticky to always post about things that every big law associate experiences and create new threads about it all the time. I don't think he is bragging at all.

But, I'm saying if its not just an incredibly unfunny shtick, then its even more disturbing.

Getting biglaw is hard. The people who don't think so are the associates being treated like shit at work. DF may or may not be proud about biglaw, but he likes the attention.

disturbing to make observations about "things that every biglaw associate experiences"? do you think jerry seinfeld is mentally ill or something?

Its definitely obnoxious to many readers who don't yet have offers to be posting stuff like this. Even if the job's going to suck, right now we're stressed.

Stop Reading the TeaLeaves Start Massmailing may literally be the most useful thread on TLS. DF has a schtick but telling you you should try hard to get a job isn't it.

1) How the fuck is telling you to massmail bragging about big law.

2) Just three months ago everyone was complaining about how much I was complaining about biglaw.

3) Damn near everyone who tries for biglaw at a T14 gets it. The ones who don't are the ones who didn't go balls out on the job search.

4) Big law sucks and is not prestigious. I would no question trade places with a 0L.

5) I'm at a pretty shitty firm, so nobody cares.

6) Mentioning big law isn't bragging about you jelly morons.

7) I don't really have a shtick.

I should say "as a 2L OCI candidate." If you miss that or get no offered it is brutal as fukkkkkkkkckkkk out there.

Still wouldn't be true even at CCN, much less the rest of the T14.

I can't think of a single person who either: 1) didn't try very hard or 2) wasn't objectively weird as fuck / awful.

Is Uber a good deal? Over the summer every time we walked over twenty feet a seasoned attorney would reflexively use Uber. Often, it would take longer than walking. Is it better than a yellow cab? It has really blown up, and doesn't seem to exist in small towns so it would need to be a lot better than hailing.

I wouldn't take in area where you can regular cab by hailing. It's great for places where you can't readily hail a cab.
