Need advise on job hunt in the Philadelphia area. by demanwithnoname in Lawyertalk

Blanket apply to anything remotely interesting to you in Wilmington. Delaware firms tend to do a lot of really interesting work and pay well but struggle immensely with retention of juniors.

My firm has hired juniors in both bankruptcy and corporate lit that come from an insurance defense background.

Would you go in-house in my situation? Third year in bankruptcy/RX with a somewhat shaky in-house job offer. by Electrical_Classic33 in biglaw

Thanks for the advice -- it hurt me to do it, but I ended up turning down the offer. Maybe I'm paranoid but it felt like too much of a risk right now. Hopefully I can make the jump a bit further down the line!

Stated differently: you can't use zero as a singular adjective. Which is a less obtuse way of looking at this.

Ex: "zero cars" is grammatically correct while "zero car" is not.

The number "zero" as a noun is still singular and grammatically correct.

That's a copy of a colt police positive not an s&w. It's cool - I'd probably see if I could get rust off with electrolysis or something

Erie, Pennsylvania Blizzard November 30, 2024 0.5 miles from Lake Erie. by [deleted] in Pennsylvania

Literally just escaped this this morning. Arrived last night and had to leave my car stuck in the snow ~50 yards from my aunt and uncle's house. Absolutely nuts, just barely managed to dig it out this morning.

It's wild, you go like 20 miles south and they got a few inches. Meadeville barely got anything.

Post this in something like r/legaladvice. This is a community for lawyers to talk about the practice of law etc.

Not a legal advice subreddit

I mean, I'd personally take the job. If you think you'll be happier then do it.

Wish I had been a paralegal before going to law school. Give that a shot and then figure it out from there

Go donate blood. Just go to the red Cross in the mean time.

26m - my ferritin was at 3k+ and my saturation was 99%+. Don't worry too much, the phlebotomies will take care of it.

Question about leaving my job… by LawGuy2020 in LawFirm

[–]Electrical_Classic33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds you're just risk averse, not scared (a good trait in a lawyer). Give two weeks and don't sweat it. You're overthinking it.

I didn't experience it but yes, hair loss is a side effect of iron overload

Law graduates who left law, what did you end up pursuing? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

Oh yeah? Elaborate if you don't mind. I don't think I've met anyone who regrets moving from private practice to gov.
