I'll just send out apps when I have free time, and continue doing that until I find a job. Kinda sucks that we're in this boat, but it's what it is.

you?

I'm not really one to get too high or down. When I got into CCN I knew that was just the beginning, and that working hard didn't stop there. I had good grades from a top UG, and am a good standardized test taker, so getting into CCN wasn't that much of a surprise or thrill.

Now...well, of course I'd like to have job lined up so that I don't have to spend time writing cover letters and interviewing. Those things are a pain in the ass. But if that's what I have to do, then so be it. I've never been rich, so any job that doesn't leave me poor is an upgrade from anything I've ever had. I don't need 160K or even 90K.

this is no time to get picky about jobs. take Stroock or even a place like Troutman Sanders. certain firms won't take laterals but moving up to a V25 once you have a few years of experience is a realistic goal.

I think that you overestimate one's ability to get these firms ITE. I would be more than happy to work at any decent firm, regardless of prestige, but they are simply not hiring.

Agreed. I think many people at firms assume that T14ers without firm jobs are just being too picky, when IRL most of us would take any V100, midlaw or decent boutique.

not lazy, but definitely bad studying habits (carried over from undergrad). also took me a while to figure out how to write issue spotting responses.
