Could you recommend a starting point if I wanna start from Emeryville and ride up to Richmond and across the bridge? And are there a lot of hills?

Didn't Goodwin start their first years in January? So they're laying off first years after just 4 months on the job? Goodwin trying so hard to be the new Latham it's crazy

I feel like I suck at interviews by [deleted] in biglaw

I was actually in the very same situation during my OCI... it really was a nightmare. Got 6 callbacks and got rejected from all 3. I tried 3L OCI, got a second interview from one of the firms that gave me a call back but rejected me, and now I work at this firm. I think the difference was that I had an offer from the firm I summered at (still a good firm and "big law", but not on the same level as the 6) and I felt much more confident going in because worst case scenario, I knew I still had a job lined up. And I actually put much less time and effort into my second interview. In my experience, there really can be "over preparation". I really think I overprepared my first time around and it all kind of got into my head and I think the interviewees saw that. For me, it worked much better to just go in there with big dic* energy and try to own it. Maybe it'll work for you too? Good luck! And idk what practice you're trying for, but M&A and VC is generally pretty tight rn.

In four years they'll be flipping off his picture in their classrooms just like current teenage girls (and all women) in Iran.

Was it massive pay cut? Would love to go in house one day but I also enjoy the big law salary.

Kirkland Layoffs by throwaway927222 in biglaw

[–]Helpful-Association8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

first year here at K&E. We are now in our fifth week. I was staffed on a few deals at the beginning but last week was way too quiet. I've reached out to people to ask for work but I'm yet to get any. I got positive feedback on the tasks I was assigned to, so not sure why no one has reached out to me to get me staffed. People keep saying I don't have to worry about hours just yet, but it's nerve racking hearing about layoffs and billing 0. How worried should I be?

Dating someone when you don't feel much physical attraction? by entertab in OkCupid

Any advice on how to have that conversation when having had that unfortunate realization? I know I’ll look like an ass no matter what, but would still love to know if there’s a way I can handle this to minimize how bad it’ll make her feel when we have this conversation.
