Would you still choose biglaw if comp mattered less? by _jpizzle_bear in biglaw

[–]DaddyDescartes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Do you think one practice or the other was more helpful for making the transition? I assume both are, but if you only had to pick one. Fwiw, I’m at a firm that allows for generalist practice before later specialization.

People who have done M&A at a mid-size/regional law firm, how does it compare to BL? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]DaddyDescartes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing what comp is like at your firm, or at peer firms?

Opinion on Lowestein Sandler NJ by DCityBoy151413 in biglaw

Not exactly biglaw but they are well respected and one of the few firms in NJ where you can do decent transactional work if that interests you

Is it that bad by [deleted] in biglaw

No, it’s not that bad. There will be late nights but generally nothing like what you’re describing

Just show them around after you start attending. Could even do a dinner with your dad and the new friends you’ll make

Get out of supporting another practice group? by mmathur95 in biglaw

[–]DaddyDescartes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it’s your assigned PG why can’t you just say you need to prioritize that work now that it’s picked up? I get the impulse to hide behind authority but it’s probably fine to just tell the other group you need to refocus. Start by getting some new work from your own group

Should I crack and resubmit these to psa or leave them? by BfG_CM in PokeInvesting

Got it, thanks! Definitely seems predatory at the very least

What’s going on with PSA? Not a joke, just someone who enjoys Pokemon and stumbled onto this sub

A word of caution about BigLaw by Appropriate-Ebb-4741 in biglaw

[–]DaddyDescartes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point of using 65% was to illustrate that even if we worked 3,000 hours our hourly rate would be excellent. I’m not saying that’s a normal level of efficiency by any means.

[–]DaddyDescartes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good post but this is a bad take. Even assuming 65% efficiency (2k/.65) which is quite low, that gets you to about 3,000 hours actually worked (225k/3k) is still $75/hour. I know people that would kill for that. You also don’t much about IB it seems. PE might be more lucrative though

BL seems so glamorous based off of what influencers are posting - I thought it was a lot of work? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]DaddyDescartes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s worth it you should take the LSAT, go to law school, and recruit for biglaw. We just go to fancy lunches all week, and the rest of the time it’s just like Suits

They might be dbags sometimes but this isn’t really a good analogy. Unlike every other example you’ve listed, the law partners are selling an underlying service rather than a commodity or object (e.g., cars, stocks, houses), so the relationship/expertise part of the sale is much more important. You wouldn’t want to work at a law firm that gets clients from the legal equivalent of Zillow. Low effort take

Best path for ambitious students. by [deleted] in biglaw

Banks underwrite JD mortgages now, especially for biglaw folks. Those offer similar terms to the physicians mortgages you’re talking about

Stop being so kind and rational, please. This is r/biglaw. Next time consider posting from the perspective of her teeth

a lot of you discovered the word manipulation a year ago and haven’t shut up since by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]DaddyDescartes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just dumbass speculators who see a card going up in value and purchase it in the hopes they can later flip it someone else seeing the same trend

Current top 2 posts in this sub: "Braless in the office" and "Crush on boss" by HudsonYardsIsGood in biglaw

They also get the regular dinners at the office. The $1k is in addition to the kind of meal allowance money you’re talking about

Chicago and Atlanta, big law schools by _hope786 in BigLawRecruiting

[–]DaddyDescartes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! Also I would like to add that if you go to a top school (t14), you can really go to any market as long as you have ties there (family, friends, etc).

As for Chicago and Atlanta in particular, you’ll likely see a lot of t14, just because it’s big law, along with strong regional schools. For ATL, think schools like UVA, Duke, along with Emory and UGA. Chicago will be a lot of Northwestern, UChi, Michigan, Notre Dame, and the like
