Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 22nd, 2016 3:39 AM Author: Galvanic personal credit line Only 5 years out ljl.
Two are figuring out what to do next. One is in publishing. Another is in med school.
All who dropped out of law are top 14 honors grads who worked in biglaw. Ljl. |

Date: July 22nd, 2016 3:44 AM Author: Galvanic personal credit line Probably limited thought process - he likes and is good at school and is probably chasing more prestige ljl
Med school is easier and more fun than biglaw. Residency blows though and not sure if hed like working as a doctor. |

if you can hack sales, that seems 180 - very little grunt work, just literally bullshitting all day for six figures |

Date: July 22nd, 2016 10:16 AM Author: Galvanic personal credit line if you're social enough, then why not?
my only concern is you spend an awful lot of time poasting..are you sure you're the sales type? |
|
Date: July 22nd, 2016 10:19 AM Author: histrionic bipolar location i think i poast so much because my job feels so shitty. imagine taking orders from some idiot reminding you to log on to lync 5 times a day. pushing paper around doing utterly meaningless work. i could stick it out and do OK in life.. but fuck im mid-20's and the last time i took a risk i was very successful
i used to play a sport at a very high level and im competitive in nature. i like the simplicity of sales, and im attracted to the startup/tech culture... i think i could be an alpha in a sea of betas. i currently work with a lot of tech guys and they all did sales and maed it
the other side of me thinks sales is too tttt, but at the top it seems 180 |
|
Date: July 22nd, 2016 10:27 AM Author: Galvanic personal credit line If you hate taking orders to do stupid shit and paper pushing doing meaningless work, don't go to law school (and especially don't go into biglaw). That's for sure.
I'd say go for the sales job. Did you put your current job on your resume for the sales job? Wouldn't they ask why you were trying to leave your job within 3 weeks?

Date: July 22nd, 2016 10:00 AM Author: Galvanic personal credit line All work doesn't suck as much as law/elite finance/medicine, you fucking kike.
Also, pretty sure all of us could have gone to med school. Two were math majors who did well (one at Columbia, the other at Stanford) and the other guy is actually in med school, which surprisingly means he can obviously get into med school (I think he got into at least 5 med schools).
Also maybe we care less about money than faggot Russian kikes? |
