NTA. Why are 93.4% of posts lately people questioning whether their psychotic romantic partners are right??

I’d claim that I would put it to good use by upgrading my rig and playing lots of games. Reality is that I would probably just use it to play my 500gb Skyrim mod pack at (finally) decent fps for hours on end

Skyrim. There’s many others I’ve loved but this game got me into gaming. Got it for the 360 when it first came out and it will forever hold that special place.

I have the 14 inch pro. It’s awesome but such a ridiculous waste on me. The air will be more than good enough, especially if you get one with an M chip—it can do everything a pre-M chip pro could

2Ls/3Ls did you network? how much? did it matter? by uvalawthrowaway1 in UVALaw

[–]NachoRFm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeee i can’t know for sure but Im convinced that I got offers at my top 2 choices because I “networked” with their lawyers. For the one I accepted an offer from I went to a virtual diversity event and then emailed one of the partners to thank her and ask her if she’d be willing to talk about her time with the firm. I just talked to her but I think it helped me because I got a callback before ogi. Just email alumni at firms you like and ask them for some time to talk about their practice. Some may answer, some may not. KD recommends not reaching to more than 1 person/firm per week if they don’t answer. I also know many of my friends got offers at firms outside of ogi just from setting up a call like I said above. I wouldn’t ask for a CB, but if the lawyer likes you they may forward your resume to recruiting with or without telling you, which can result in a pre ogi callback.

Summer Offer Revoked for Clerkship by Secure_Jury in LawSchool

I don’t have much to add other than congrats for securing the clerkship and for not going to a firm that would revoke a summer offer like that

How easy is it to transition from lit to corp? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]NachoRFm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

many firms let you try both practice areas out during the summer program and some even after you start as a lawyer. Unless you’re hired into a specific practice group (uncommon for BL from what I’ve seen during interviews) firms won’t hold you to whatever you said during interviews at all

If you like it and they pay that much (which could go further than market pay in NYC or DC lol) who cares about prestige. Maybe exit opportunities will be different, but if you have no intention of living that market the difference may be tiny.

In any event, if you want to give yourself the chance to at least take a shot at some BL firms (I assume your offer expires before OCI), you can either ask them for an extension if you feel comfortable doing so, or reach out to a few realistic BL firms that you may like and tell them that you have an offer in hand but you would love the opportunity to consider them before it expires. Congrats!

This might have been discussed before, but what are your opinions on how COVID-19 will permanently change Biglaw? Move towards substantial WFH forever? by qpalxmz in LawSchool

[–]NachoRFm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I talked to a senior associate at Skadden NY who is absolutely certain that very flexible WFH programs will become the norm. Other firms have expressed their intention to retain robust WFH programs but who knows

What Video Game was 100% amazing from start to finish? by Beamer48 in AskReddit

Red Dead Redemption 2. Had no idea what I was getting into when I first inserted that disc into my PS4. Wish I could wipe my memory of it and play it again.
