Date: June 22nd, 2012 9:33 PM Author: Navy business firm because the partners are faggots who were jizzing all over themselves in Q1 2011 that the worst was over and it was recovery time, and so expanded with laterals and were generally just dumb greedy boomer fucks. now we are overstaffed and top heavy and the work just inst there. whats worse is that with euro crisis continuing, we have our own debt ceiling crisis/bush tax cut/sequestration thing coming up and that scares me. I think if europe doesnt explode, we can limp along without layoffs until after the election, but if we fail on our debt ceiling and tax cut showdown, I think that could be the final straw and there could be real layoffs again.
fuck. |

as for holding out, honestly I would. who knows where this all shakes out, it could take years, and biglaw will be raped, again. |

find something else to do with your life brother, but LS is not the answer. seriously.

Date: June 23rd, 2012 2:03 PM Author: burgundy jap But that's the rub. Very few people have the endurance to last that long, since it is not what they want to do.
There's a misconception that "lasting that long" means avoid getting shitcanned. Firms don't need to fire you - you'll likely have a change of heart before they need to. |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2012 9:30 PM Author: mint cerebral theatre Most people quit within 3 years, even though they go in thinking they will last.
And you do realize your 240k tuition will be 270k-280k with interest by the time you get out. If you do NY biglaw and want to save any modicum of money, that means youre living in a small one room eating ramen just to pay off your loans. And by the time you quit biglaw you will still have over 150k in loans.
I can't believe people are STILL thinking about taking full loans to go to law school. I mean, seriously? How many times do we need to warn you? |

And then it will be even higher by the time you start working, if you even get biglaw. Once you get biglaw you will burn out within 3 years, and leave with 150k loans and little savings.

|
Date: June 23rd, 2012 1:21 AM Author: light blood rage credit markets in euro are locked, so euro firms come here looking for credit. demand goes up.
same time over here, you have net outflow (more investors pulling out cash than putting in), so debt capital supply becomes limited.
result: debt-driven m&a goes down. investment grade should be fine, but there just isn't much room for anything junky atm, which knocks out most of the acquisition market. |

|
Date: June 23rd, 2012 1:56 PM Author: light blood rage i didn't say there weren't any. I just said credit has more demand than supply, and that's one driver pushing dealflow down compared to prior inflationary periods. On the other hand, other uncertainty (whether carry will be taxed as income, etc.) is also driving firms to look for exits.

|
Date: June 23rd, 2012 2:01 PM Author: clear boyish bawdyhouse You post really contradicts itself. PE funds trying to exit their portfolios would drive increased dealfow - either strategic or IPO's. And would also imply reduced "demand" (as you have used the term) for credit because strategic buyers and IPO investors are looking for lower leverage. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1977191&forum_id=2#20941866) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2012 2:07 PM Author: light blood rage re-read, genius. looking to exit is whats pushing some of it back up. not all firms are betting on carry going up. Those that do are looking to exit by selling to other firms (those that don't), deals for which financed in part via credit (hence demand further increased).
