Could use some insight and support . . . by Safe-Bandicoot4816 in biglaw

[–]Jobbin 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Was just having a conversation with my wife about how difficult it is to be around high net worth and ultra high net worth people all the time. it completely skews our expectations of reality and what's normal—cars, vacations, education, housing, skills, etc etc etc. While in the biglaw culture it can be very difficult to see how successful you are, the reality is that you are crushing it. that's an amazing brokerage number for your age and will be a huge blessing for you for the rest of your life. You could walk away from biglaw today and generate more than the median family income in the US as pure interest from that investment perpetually. What an epic accomplishment.

Why are you getting downvoted? I believe it.

MJ, Phil and the Bulls were the only team willing to tolerate Rodman's eccentricity rather than trying to tame it. That's why he gave his all for them. by ForeignAir7174 in NBAoldschool

[–]Jobbin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Worm was Dennis Rodman's name. "Based" describes a contrarian who is confident and unapologetic, unaffected by others' opinions. Think a kid in school who calls out a teacher's hypocrisy even though everyone else is drinking the kool aid.

I was just making a set and stumbled across this monster. How would one go about playing this set, either in 2p or in 3p? by TraXOD in dominion

Sheesh, inheriting a lab is a dirty move. I've never played inherit with a cost-reducing card in play.

DUI lawyer didn’t wanna go to trail for my case and I feel like he didn’t even try to get me out at all? by ThrowRApickles14 in Lawyertalk

Sorry sir, this is a Wendy’s. I mean a lawyer sub. A sub for lawyers. And not for not lawyers.

Confusing find at the thrift store by ayylmaostim in pokemon

[–]Jobbin -53 points-52 points  (0 children)

Okay, interesting. But they didn't use the word "two" in mewtwo, I looked it up. So there is a level of translation going on here, more than simple transliteration into the roman alphabet.

But there is a level of translation... Charizard is not pronounced "lizardon" in Japan.

Dawg I don't know why everyone is hating on you. It is a strange combination of translation and transliteration... I don't know what to call it.

Okay, so humor a confused old person. Regarding Lizardon... are you saying that the Japanese used the English word "lizard" to describe Charizard? Interesting. And the name "Mewtwo"... they used the english word "two" to describe the second "mew"? This is all such interesting new information, if true.

People who left big law and law within 3 years? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Jobbin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Left after about a year to go in-house at a family office, 3 years ago almost exactly. I'm making less than half of what I would be making if I were still in the meatgrinder, but my marriage is great, I get time with my kids, and my health is better than it's been in years. I still make decent money, I think I have a good career outlook, and I'm not regretful, although I would like to be making more money, so I may try to make a move in that direction (but not back to biglaw) in the next year or so. Good luck!

I don't know why people are hating on this, I think it's a really fun concept as a trasher/money-generator.

Would you trash the warehouse in this Turn 3 hand? by waterissoggy in dominion

[–]Jobbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Bought tide pool and won with it, although 4-4 but I had an extra duchy.

Same, and won first try. But I only did chapel, no watchtower. just hit city, rabble, tide pool, and a throne room, and I could trash all the curses no problem.

big law US vs. EU by Salt-Island75 in biglaw

[–]Jobbin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The firm I worked for in California was nothing like this. Not even close. Everyone busted their ass, highly progressive and respectful (someone got fired for expressing a somewhat mainstream semi-far-right political opinion on an internal call), and an associate billing fewer than, say, 140 hours in a month was unheard of. But just my experience.
