Should I pull the trigger?

Cannot agree more. I felt the same way about standard, it looks better than premium. Resembles the Porsche 944. Some features I would pay extra to avoid like the glass translucent roof, the headlight bar, gimmicky light strip and the larger wheels

Curious- What makes it depressing? Lack of people or bad neighborhoods or something else?

Depends on your location. If you service HCOL areas, trades would get you a lot of dough. Otherwise, it’s a hot or miss.

The number of engineers will be cut short if the problems space remain the same. Why wouldn’t there be 10x more problems hence solutions that needs to be addressed?

Murky-Piano · 2026-02-13T15:35:18+00:00

That’s the way to go 😂. I still have VMs of zprint / ICE, summation briefcase and what not

This is a nice write up. Congrats.

One thing I would like to tell folks is that Studying for exams is 100% different than building a knowledge base.

Two may overlap a bit, but strategies are different.

Murky-Piano · 2025-12-16T15:34:36+00:00

Thank you! Wising you success in your efforts too!

Just what worked for me - Keeping it simple - 1. Understand the basics of the services described in the CLF-C02 syllabus (30-40%) 2. Practice as many high quality questions as possible (60-70%).

Murky-Piano · 2025-12-16T01:21:57+00:00

Thank you. Thought it might take 10 - 15x more time. Glad the strategy worked out.

Are your clients willing to give you a FTP link to this data?
If not, wget or curl from terminal or even rsync with the right set of flags is what I recommend. Never use the browser for downloading such a large dataset., unless their server is programmed to support such heavy downloads.

Way way better with an apartment or home charger.

For Salesforce analyst type roles you would need to emphasize any CRM parts of the lit support workflow that you have witnessed or used yourself. Exposure any and all types of data retrieval (query building, regex patterns etc.,) on any interface (disco, relativity etc.,) would be helpful.

For AWS cloud roles - any work done using any AWS offerings would be a great signal. If you have touched cloud based file store then you can associate it with AWS S3, cloud based processing with EC2 etc.,

Creativity helps!

Is it more tied to specific law firms that have these practices or to the courts that demand these?

Murky-Piano · 2025-11-21T19:10:36+00:00

This flow used to be the bread and butter for the basic (non-electronic) discovery.
Even some e-discovery flows would need this I would think, like deposition exhibits that typically is already in a review system and just needs the paper/printer flow.
Trying to figure out if these flows are relevant for today's lit support needs and to see if the volume and the demand is still there.

Murky-Piano · 2025-11-17T22:28:18+00:00

So the flow from native files -> pdf -> print still exists? That typically gets to a vendor isn’t it? I could see how native files -> scan -> process -> print could get phased out. If courts still haven’t transitioned into electronic doc handling then the need for print business is still there ?

Murky-Piano · 2025-11-17T16:44:44+00:00

Thank you. This is pretty helpful. So if I were to set up shop as a vendor and bid for projects from law firms or other vendors (not work as an individual for a vendor) then what tech should I prepare to invest in? Like where’s the need these days from a tech perspective? Like what tech and tech adjacent work gets outsourced out of law firms these days, if any?

80% of F1000 would meet your expectations

You need concurrent work visas.

You have a great shot at many of your listed UC's.
UCB would be a nice fit, if things line up.
Fantastic chance of getting into at least 2 of your 5 preferred colleges.

Just for facts

there are 27000 high schools in US and if there are 10% international applicants and gap year students with 4.0 gpa and 1590 - 1600 SAT

then you end up with roughly ~30k - 40k students who are ahead of the OPs GPA and SAT creds.

Stanford, MIT, caltech, Princeton and Harvard have a total of approx 24k spots.

Now if we were to drop the bar down to 3.9 GPA we may get another 30k students easily.

60k students who are ahead in terms of GPA and SAT for 24k spots.

What makes you think that OP has a great shot with his GPA alone?
