Chicago Lateral
I will be starting as a third year lateral in Chicago in January. Any tips on succeeding as a lateral from a secondary market; young(ish) professional groups to join; indispensable "surviving Chicago" resources; etc? Will be buying a house on the Blue Line and working in the loop if that matters.

The front car of the L is usually the least crowded.
There are a lot of shootings but they are very contained in terms of where they occur.

Re: Chicago Lateral
Sorry to hijack, but I'd love to hear about your lateral process. Would also like to hear from people lateraling from NYC. Thanks, good luck!

Work like a dog for two years. Answer a headhunter call on a bad day. Update a resume from 3L. Say 'yea' or 'nay' to sending resumes to interested firms. Screen. Call back. Offer. House hunt. Accept.

Re: Chicago Lateral
I am in a position similar to OP and would like to know more about succeeding and Chicago in general. Coming from a secondary market and can't decide if its "worth" it.
