Date: July 24th, 2019 1:04 AM Author: fragrant ladyboy Someone who can get into the T14 and *wants/would like* to be a lawyer. Being a lawyer is a very good job for the right personality type, IMO. Lots of ex biglaw/t14 types on xo either had no reason to think they wanted to do law and just chose it bc they were smart enough and it was the path of least resistance.
T14=>biglaw=>litigation is 180 if you enjoy litigating. The hours can be bad but if you’re t14 and smart and willing to bill enough you’ll stick around at least 6-7 years and have a ton saved. Oh you’ll never ever be made partner at a V25? Yeah, it’s long odds but for that but the odds on landing counsel at some vault firm or lateraling to a boutique, lesser amlaw firm, or midlaw and doing counsel=> partner are not bad a all and will reliably allow you to earn $300,000+ doing something you like. *Detractors on xo had no actual reason for thinking they wanted to do law in the first place (and has never held a real job other than biglaw, as they went to their T14 to *avoid* getting a job, MAF, bitching online that having to keep track ofhours and review shit you write for s/v agreement is inhumane torture that has “sniffed out” the inner creativity they know for certain would have led them to greatness if only they’d never gotten off Penn’s waitlist* |

the problem with this is that most smart 21y/o ivy rising seniors have no fucking clue what it's like to be a lawyer. if they want to be a lawyer, they don't know wtf they're getting themselves into and want to do "international law" or some bullshit. so, they're miserable in law. that's why i think an aspie who WON'T function in another industry should go into law -- not someone who is simply choosing it as the path of least resistance. |

Date: July 24th, 2019 1:21 AM Author: titillating zippy national tank if want biglaw than anybody good at sales or eating a mile of shit. if wanting inhouse than anybody who wants to work at a decent company but who fucked things up by doing liberal arts and either is not a hot girl or a good looking/charismatic guy everybody wants to hang out with. If wanting to do government, then anybody who is a good combination of lazy but also a minority in demand (these days latinas and the few black males succeeding in law school). If nonprofit then anybody who is jewish and rich. everybody else are those horror stories you hear about on TLS (and tbf sometimes on xo) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4308802&forum_id=2#38578904) |
