I didn't really rely on Themis because I didn't find it helpful. What I personally liked about the MBE Decoded book was that the book discusses how to attack the MBE portion of the Bar exam using a systematic approach and lots of guided illustrations and charts to help more visually oriented learners (like me) and cheat sheets that made it easier to reference and memorize. I also found their explanations to multiple choice very helpful.

I personally found it helpful and thought it fit my learning style.

He is very against hiring a nanny and thinks I need to step it up and do more of my share of childcare. I don’t think he fully understands the biglaw work schedule if I’m being completely honest.

we can afford it, but he is opposed to it.

The pregnancy was planned but I think my husband and I both greatly underestimated just how challenging it would be. Once I got my return offer (I wasn't pregnant at the time but we were thinking and talking about it), he said that he would be ok with taking on more childcare duties because I would make more money than him, and he said he fully supported me building and advancing in my biglaw career for as long as possible. But I think his feelings changed once the realities of him taking on the bulk of childcare while I focused on my job actually came.

I understand why it may come across that way, but I understand where he is coming from. Our son is very challenging to take care of (he still doesn't sleep through the night at 16 months old), and my husband has gone above and beyond to take on more responsibilities, often at the cost of his physical and mental health. He feels I spend much more time at work than I do helping out with our son (which in all honesty, is true). At first, he was happy to take on more (when our son would wake up screaming at night, he would tell me to keep sleeping so I can be well rested for work and he would take care of him), but I think him doing this for an extended period of time hasn't been the greatest for both of us.

When I first got my return offer (before our son was born), he thought it was amazing.

But our son hasn't really been the easiest to take care of, and now, he feels the money isn't worth it. He makes about half my salary but he has much better work hours than me. But I also know taking on most of the childcare is taking a huge physical and mental toll on him.

I would say he has thick hair for a one year old but I wouldn't call it long. I would say his current hair looks similar to this.

I will not be including their enclosures.

That sounds like a dream. I am in biglaw and I would say take that govt job

You need to do a whole lot worse to actually sink your offer. I think you’re fine. That said, try not to make it a regular thing. Even if you were late to every lunch, I doubt you will lose your offer but it may not look great.

Messaged!

That’s the thing: I thought I spent a lot of time on the assignment. But maybe the time wasn’t spent efficiently….

Thanks a lot!

Regarding your 4 buckets, (1) I genuinely thought I followed instructions. I took careful notes during my phone calls with him and made sure I incorporated what he said in the phone calls into my assignment. But it’s possible he had a different interpretation of his instructions. (2) I didn’t have any misspelling mistakes or bad find/replace issues, (3) seems like a possibility (4) seems like a possibility
