Public sector person: "Gray, you have a very impressive resume here, but it looks like you worked at a firm this past summer? Why did you choose to do that when you want to end up in the public sector?"Gray wrote:if this is directed at me, it's for public sector reasons. probably not literally hundreds though. I hope.

yeah all clear on the review. Still nervous of massive market crash.Gray wrote:just bored and impatient because i want my sweet august freedom.Dr. Nefario wrote:Is anyone else growing nervous as summer ends?
I assume you mean like offer nervous? did you have a midsummer review?
Ditto. It's amazing how working in-house you have these mind-numbingly boring lulls after the storm. August can't get here soon enough.Gray wrote:just bored and impatient because i want my sweet august freedom.Dr. Nefario wrote:Is anyone else growing nervous as summer ends?

I'm a few weeks short of repeatedly smashing my face into an oversize panic button. Over 30% of my classmates will have locked up employment after this summer and I'll be trying to figure out what to do with my life. That's how I feel.Dr. Nefario wrote:Is anyone else growing nervous as summer ends?

I never really understood the fascination with big law; only a very select few will turn that into a long term career. Plaintiff work is where it's at. Just got done with a case involving a shithead named Erich Spangenberg; look that dude up.Big Red wrote:Yeah I'm mostly excited about my impending three week vacation, if I get no offered then maybe the whole big lawl thing wasn't meant for me anyway
30% is a number that isn't anchored to any meaningful data. I made it up. It's going to feel like 90%, but I'm trying to make it feel more objective so I don't freak out.DCfilterDC wrote:only 30%? doesn't sound too stressfulunsweetened wrote:I'm a few weeks short of repeatedly smashing my face into an oversize panic button.

Sounds about right. For me its "plan for the worst but recognize that you simply lack the imagination to comprehend what the actual worst can and will be."unsweetened wrote:30% is a number that isn't anchored to any meaningful data.

I spent doing both summers big fed so I hope that counts for something. At this point in the game, I have learned not to get my hopes up. I was once told "Hope for the best, but plan for the worst" but I think "Plan for the worst and be surprised if anything goes right" is more apt.
