50% are dead by end of year 3

So if you don't do biglaw, what else do you do?

Is TCR just drop out for literally everyone?

[Cogburn87]

Some would argue yes

Especially with debt.

you are the worst dude. this site has become one note because all the other posters refuse to speak up. Why are people unwilling to admit that this is low quality discussion?
I am in no way advocating a sunny view of biglaw, but this is just not the only way to go about educating people, which this site has done for many people in a much less douchey way.

TLS hivemind is very very ignorant about most things. It's good enough to teach you how to LSAT and how to get into law school. But after that it's not very smart.

The fact that you guys are posting your explicit details about actual firms and actual offices should be proof enough btw. Recruiters easily know who you are.

TLS Hivemind is anti-BL, but it also has no understanding of jobs in any other field. Really, TLS has little-to-no job info about anything other than being a junior associate at a V100 firm.

DF, I think you do gods work on these boards.

Can you give an example of someone explicitly outing themselves?

My recruiter sent me the screenshot for the TLS tealeaves thread about my V39 of someone I interviewed with. The person was talking about getting a callback. It's just not a good look.

DF, what's up with the new account? (new join date/post count)

[Desert Fox]

Oh and while TLS might occasionally say "Attrition is high, most peple are gone by year 5" it is quite another thing to see it in action. At this point, of the people who interviewed me for my SA, only the partners are still here.

75% of the people I worked with as a Summer are gone.

My firm has 1 associate left with 3-5 years of experience in the IP group out of ~20 people that started here. The attrition is fucking brutal

My IP group has the lowest attrition because the partners are actually great doods. Only attrition we've had in the past 4 years was 2 going to Fed Cir (one came back, one may come back) and one going in house at a major company.

[A. Nony Mouse]

The few people from my class who are in biglaw have mostly changed firms already (class of 2011, so that's not very long). That's not attrition in the sense of leaving biglaw entirely, but it is attrition for the people left behind.
