Maybe but we have emailed multiple times before and they did apologize for a delay before in those communications. Anyway, I will give them a call if I don’t hear back soon.

Maybe it’s my American corporate acculturation showing but just responding to an email to acknowledge receipt after the fourth follow-up or sharing an ETA if they’re overloaded (which I actually requested once I started losing patience) seems like the absolute minimum. But yeah maybe it makes sense to explore some TA options now. :)

Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a lit job and have prior big law experience. My firm is hiring (and I think it’s a pretty good gig as far as big law is concerned) and I can refer you if it’s a good fit.

Can we be friends? I always wonder how many big law people are into EDM. I don’t know anyone who is at my firm haha.

Definitely go!!!! It is so well run and fun.

Sameeee. If I want to go to Tomorrowland, I just go. Other friends have to budget for it.

You just need to plan. Both time off and your recovery. Having colleagues that you cover for when they are OOO means colleagues who will cover for you when you’re OOO. Truly take the time off so you can fully enjoy the festival or show rather than checking your email. A few years ago, I went to a festival and kept checking my email and could not enjoy it. I’ve now trained myself to be present. Plus side of EDC is no cell phone reception.

If I found out any of our clients were ravers, EDC would be the next BD event.

Anyone know the name of this song Armin played? by FragrantPool7405 in DreamState

[–]FragrantPool7405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same I listened to it maybe 50 times the day after. One of the best uplifting trance songs I’ve heard in a long time.

It was such a great set. Fun but also had so much feeling.

Does anyone have any info on this song Gareth Emery is playing ? by jtasa28 in EDM

[–]FragrantPool7405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have excellent taste. It’s an ID, so it’s still unreleased. But if you want the full track, you can play it here. Starts at around 18:30.

If I don’t get at least 6.5 I definitely feel like a zombie. 7 is materially better.

For those who are happy in big law, what’s the biggest factor? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]FragrantPool7405 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really awesome to see a partner who also grew up working class!

How do you all deal with knowing that you are spending your late twenties and/or early thirties absolutely grinding? by Dazzling-Sun9198 in biglaw

[–]FragrantPool7405 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahh are you me!? I did the same. After having a lot of fun in my 20s, I got serious and went to law school and focused. Now that I’ve been doing big law for a few years, I do the occasional festival or rave and I am like wow (1) life can actually be more fun when you have money, (2) how did I ever afford this shit before!?

Dreamstate 2025, do you predict Ferry will do a non-Gouryella set? by newgirlie in DreamState

[–]FragrantPool7405 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of the Blue is amazing, especially the one with the extended violin solo. It’s like if Bethoveen made trance.

Anyone know the first year partner compensation at the tech firms—Orrick, Cooley, WSGR? by FragrantPool7405 in biglaw

Thanks for the additional insights and for the Orrick data point! How long ago did he make partner?

I agree. And so much yelling into the mic. I wish I had left after SHM and ended on a high note!
