No, I am suggesting that his transferring from NYU to HLS ended up being good for him because it enabled him to do what he currently does. So transferring actually served a purpose for him. You said "he could have got a job at WSGR from NYU" -- sure. Could he have got 500k followers on tik tok from NYU? (Reading comprehension is not that hard btw)Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 1:47 pmThis is hilarious. Are you suggesting his transferring from NYU to HLS and working in corporate at WSGR was strategically done because he knew he wanted a career as an influencer? LOLAnonymous User wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 10:50 am"only to graduate and then work in corporate at WSGR"... and then market himself to the lay masses to gain a following. One of the only times HLS makes sense over NYU is if marketing yourself to lay people is an important part of your career. For 99.9% of lawyers it is not. For Julian it is basically the core of his career at this point. He probably would not have the following he has if he went to Penn (or stayed at NYU) or something rather than being able to say Harvard Law.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 7:35 pmI may be misremembering but thought he has made several videos about anxiety to the point of being sick to his stomach during law school. I wasn't commenting on his grades so much as his inability to cope with stress.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 7:12 pmThat Julian guy sounds cringe, but I don't think he barely graduated from Harvard. He got all As 1L when he was at NYU Law (he transferred).Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 3:58 pmI'd like to introduce a few new cringe big law and ex-big law content creators. I'll be listing them by the firm they are or were associated with.

- I don't even have to explain how cringe this one is. Left big law because it's toxic. Spends all his time talking about big law, graduating (barely) from HLS, and having IBS.
Also, what a genius. Transferring from NYU to HLS only to graduate and then work in corporate at WSGR. You could do that with slightly above median grades from any T14.
If I say "my plan is to start a legal podcast in a few years targeted to laypeople, is HLS or NYU better," then the answer would by HLS hands down...
So he is probably one of the very few people for whom transferring has actually been important to his career. Make fun of him for other stuff, but transferring seems to have worked out pretty well.
Btw, there are a fair amount of people who go to HLS because they want to do something (after working at a corporate firm for a few years) for which lay prestige will matter. No idea if that was Julian's plan or not, but its not that rare.
