Regardless of what he may have posted in other threads, Dooley clearly wins this one. Miserable biglaw associates are the ones who need to get a life for their attempt to drag and bully someone who has clearly built a more than fine life for himself. The only insecurities I perceive here are among the anons who think ganging up on someone for living in central Florida and not working as a corporate cog is funny.

I’m fine with Dooley but he’s definitely a little insecure. Like good for him for making a million, and I’m interested to hear about his path. I’m sure any TLS poster that graduated before 2012 is getting close. But people don’t come in here and tell people how great they have it and how much better their life is than anyone else.

It’s like when Trump gave Cruz shit for the way his wife looked. Like Trump or not that was a douche move.

If Dooley came in here with the post “Solo with established Orlando MedMal practice. AMA.” I think the reception would have been far better and he could’ve still told everyone how great he’s got it (as long as he wasn’t shitting on what other people are building).

Based on the threads here about in-house after several years in corporate practice, most TLS graduates ten years out of law school are not grossing a million a year. Not even close. And they most certainly do not have houses worth several million dollars, let alone other nest eggs. I see no reason why I should be bashful about this after how I was treated from the get-go.

Cruz' wife was ugly, I don't care about the politics behind it and have never registered to vote myself.

I am not a solo. I have repeatedly said I have a partner and an associate (we are looking for another).

WE FINALLY BROKE HIM. Not so helpful now Johny, are we?

I don't think Bed-Stuy is a good place for a family, no. I cannot help anyone who is trying to make it there in that circumstance. On that note, I will be tarpon fishing this weekend. A couple friends from the local bar association and I are taking a trip to the west coast of FL where one of them is currently keeping his boat. I do not have to appear at any in-person commitments until Wednesday so four days on the water should be great.

If you all do not like the idea of being inland (despite all the lakes), then Tampa is another place to consider. It has all of the benefits Orlando does while being closer to a major body of water. I would say it has more career opportunities and has a higher rate of education if that is what you are looking for. I do not believe its culinary scene is as strong and its outdoor activities tend to be more difficult to arrange (tee times, court time, boat charters).

You miss the point - you're throwing out ad hominems despite your self-professed helpfulness. I could give a crap about whatever else you're saying. A+ for keeping on despite all the haters, though.

Saying a neighborhood is bad for families isn’t an ad hominem. Saying you don’t care about your wife and children because you live in a dangerous area is. All I did was saying it is high crime, that tarpon fishing is a blast, and Tampa more amenable to people here than Orlando.

Are you daft or did you just forget you said "half attractive wife"??? Dude there are way more of us than there is you - we can do this all day and you're starting to lose it.

I do not know what is weirder, getting upset by an internet stranger saying you have a half-attractive wife (you probably do not have one, based on average age here and marriage trends today), or having to use an anonymous feature to protect the anonymous identity of your username.

Why does it matter that so many here rent and making under 500k a year that is used in large part to service debt? I do not know what "losing it" means in the context of internet posting. Please explain.

I initially thought that Dooley was a hilarious troll, but now I think he might legit think that he is convincing Biglaw associates in NYC that they should move to Orlando haha. There are plenty of world class cities in the US not named NYC that are attractive to Biglaw associates, but Orlando simply isn't one of them.

I'll accept resumes for that open associate position. It is likely there is one big law associate willing to make the jump and hit control alt delete to start anew.

Dooley is like a Golden-Doo(d)ley. He can't keep himself from seeking the attention and responding--but damn when he does its pretty adorable, even if he doesn't recognize personal boundaries.

I'm from Central Florida. I went to a T-14 and am at a V10. I'll tell you whut', he's living the Florida-man dream.

The corporate cogs in this thread are riiiiidiculous for ganging up on him. But, you dont understand him or what it is like down in Florida. His 'swaggering-hate the yankee tourist-laid back jack-throw a tarpon line off a client boat-while having some skoal long cut-hating on the corporate cog' is a complete and total projection of the exclusionary Floridian attitude across most of this mosquito ridden state. They laugh about everyones high COL and how everyone needs to leave Commie-fornia, but the most enjoyable thing to do in this state is to go out on a boat. Or visit a clear spring (but not too far from the clear water where the alligators are).

I will say, in Florida, you can tell the person from Orlando from a mile away. They are somewhat-south-Florida but have enough "tailgate" in 'em so you know their relatives are all second-cousin-sisters from Alachua county. Their preferred attire is a pair of Costa sunglasses, lightweight teal fishing shirt from columbia, and a pair of khaki shorts.

After my family leaves Palm Beach to go to Disney, we lock the car doors in Orlando.

This is low quality and overwrought. Dooley to Doodle is a stretch and you didn’t execute with the parentheses. Are you from Central Florida or Palm Beach? Might as well get the story straight for effect. When did I mention Yankees or project an anti northern attitude? I’m not from Tally or Gainesville. I didn’t mention CA politics or really any for that matter.

Yes, that is a fishing outfit you described. Anyone who goes a couple of times a year should buy one. Columbia is relatively upmarket as far as that goes and is not associated with rednecks.

Thanks for playing.

Damn Dooley at Bronze already. I wonder if he can get to gold with his middle Florida shitposting.

We’re all proud of you bud! Not every TTT grad can own a nice house in the Orlando burbs.

He goes fishing too!

I am very skeptical that this thread was created in good faith, and it also appears that many of the posts are by sock puppet accounts. Keep that up and the ban hammer is coming. This thread will be locked.
