Date: January 28th, 2026 12:25 PM Author: Cerebral chartreuse base 2006. graduated ls after not trying at all and not paying attention to how firms worked. i just went to ls because i had nothing better to do and i didn't try. i wrote on to law review but otherwise didn't try to get good grades.
realized how fucked i was after i graduated. bounced around between temp jobs at ID firms, i couldn;'t even get an ID job. i finally got one and the guy paid me $25 per BILLED hour and i was a contractor. i really thought i was life pwnd.
unbelievable that i eventually worked my way up to biglaw from that. but yeah, 2006-2007, either of those years could easily be the worst. by far. |

Date: January 28th, 2026 12:32 PM Author: spectacular coiffed messiness crackhouse 2006-2008 was really fucking awful for me in retrospect now that i think about, cant beleive i didnt kms honestly (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827766&forum_id=2],#49626561) |
|
Date: January 28th, 2026 12:38 PM Author: Cerebral chartreuse base ITE is indirectly the reason i wound up in biglaw.
in late 2007 i got a job with a solo who did L&E (primarily traditional labor) and happened to take to it. in 2009, we hired a law clerk who was a 2L who'd gotten an offer from a regional bmore firm but the offer was rescinded bc of ITE.
he worked for us a few months and we kept in touch. he wound up at a baltimore firm called miles & stockbridge - basically, regional midlaw. the solo had to lay me off bc he lost a big client at the end of 2011 and the law clerk got me in at miles. i went from there to jackson lewis (ttt L&E firm), and from there to baker hostetler, where i wound up making partner. |

Date: January 28th, 2026 2:05 PM Author: razzmatazz cruise ship azn Isn’t J&L well known and well thought of in their own sphere? It’s not true Milbank scale Biglaw but it’s not Lewis Brisbois either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827766&forum_id=2],#49626916) |
|
Date: January 28th, 2026 8:26 PM Author: Cerebral chartreuse base it is a solid L&E firm. the problem with it is the lawyers are hit and miss. some are really good like me, but some are borderline retarded.
they pay first years in NYC, DC, etc like 120k lol. what do you expect at that salary. |

Date: January 28th, 2026 12:33 PM Author: Cerebral chartreuse base cr. did you make it to biglaw? i wound up at baker hostetler, which is a shitty biglaw firm, but it's amazing i even made it there given that i was in literal shitlaw for a couple years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827766&forum_id=2],#49626564) |
|
Date: January 28th, 2026 1:47 PM Author: razzmatazz cruise ship azn Eventually. Big break was an in-house job at a F50 that an adjunct professor I emailed recommended me for. Made contacts and got skills there and eventually did 5 years as a counsel/NEP at a lower tier V100 before going back in-house (at a fund now).
Not sure what the path is without that initial break. Definitely threw as much work as i could to the adjunct professor (who was a V20 Biglaw partner). |

I had sent several thousand job apps (!!!) and never closed the deal. Then I did and things were fine. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5827766&forum_id=2],#49627418) |
