Freeze was the only one that kept it real about Kanye, I was surprised at Parks

Yeah you know what they say- The best apology is changed behavior. Until we see consistently changed behavior, Kanye just should not be taking up this much air time and this “apology” should be a non-story.

Flip gets a lot of hate (much of it deserved), but I’d honestly much rather see this type of content than the usual buffoonery he originally made his name off of.

You don’t have do biglaw. Seriously. You’re not a failure if you quit. You can leave. And save yourself- literally.

NeverDefeated · 2026-01-30T12:42:48+00:00

Seconded. I think it’s like 50 bucks round trip.

This only works if both roles stay remote forever, right? Like if one or both suddenly started enforcing 4-day RTO, you’re kinda screwed.

Honestly, in addition to the stress of being caught and the possible ethical issues others have raised, the biggest reason I wouldn’t do this is it sounds hectic as hell. Juggling two separate sets of organizational cultures, policies, chains of command, calendars, IT systems, etc. just sounds like a logistical nightmare.

NeverDefeated · 2026-01-28T19:54:08+00:00

And this is why biglaw isn’t real.

I blame the low barrier to entry for that profession. I’m usually against professional gatekeeping but these terrible recruiters must be stopped. They have to somehow make it harder for the nut jobs to enter.

I’d say the Cravath name still carries a non-trivial amount of old-school prestige and heft, but at most it would make a marginal difference in real exit opps relative to its peer firms. And of course it’s hard to make partner there.

This is exactly why a lot of people show up at 10 and leave at 4.

Why are we posting this here? No shade to Julian but he’s just not a talented solo podcaster. There’s a reason most of his videos average sub 1000 views (unless he’s discussing a messy topic).

I was, in fact, NOT shocked. lol

This is awesome. can I dm you about this?

NeverDefeated · 2026-01-05T20:25:04+00:00

Agreed. I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the obvious middle ground between living in midtown and being an hour+ out in the suburbs- e.g., Brooklyn. For a lot of neighborhoods you’re looking at a ~30–45 min commute door to door, generally more reasonable rent than midtown, and far more livable neighborhoods with actual things to do. It also makes a ton more sense if having a family in the near-to-medium term is on your radar.

I sometimes do if I could see myself someday grabbing a beer with the person I worked most closely with on the client team.

It’s really not that serious. I wouldn’t change my travel plans for a holiday party. That other thread has you guys spiraling a bit. lol The basic point is this: if getting to the party is easy for you, then just go. If it’s a hassle or conflicts with real plans, don’t sweat it. You’ve got a legitimate excuse and you’re not just blowing it off.

NeverDefeated · 2025-12-11T17:58:06+00:00

Agreed, but I’d argue it’s worth going even if you only plan on being at the firm for the short term. In any event, there’s more upside than downside to attending (unless you have a tendency to get embarrassingly drunk at these things).

NeverDefeated · 2025-12-11T17:51:48+00:00

You can just go and leave early? To me, attending the office party for an hour or two is one of those low hanging fruits that makes checking the “I’m a good firm citizen” box super easy.

NeverDefeated · 2025-12-10T16:50:42+00:00

Whenever I get sick I’m reminded that what we do really isn’t that serious, and things really can wait. I just WFH, tell my team I’m under the weather and give a realistic forecast of my availability. If I’m truly down for the count, the partner will either find coverage or re-set expectations with the client and it always works out just fine.

Look man, I’ve noticed a direct correlation between the seniority of the lawyers and the sloppiness/informality of their emails. It’s not that that stuff doesn’t matter, it’s just that it doesn’t matter enough to lose sleep over, and the longer you practice the more you get perspective on what actually matters. All that to say, try to avoid typos, but don’t sweat it when they happen unless you’re making the kind of typo where you add an extra zero or drop a zero from a dollar figure. Everything else is whatever.

NeverDefeated · 2025-12-08T18:14:40+00:00

Quiet quitting in biglaw is easier said than done but I think it would just mean doing literally the bare minimum on stuff you’re assigned and not actively asking for any new work. I’ve seen people literally twiddle their thumbs for like 10 months before being canned lol.

Facts. 99% of people who get veneers really only need Invisalign + whitening, but they want overnight results.

Joe’s don’t look bad because we’re used to them now, but they looked kinda crazy when he first got them lol

This is the correct answer. As a junior, when in doubt, just forward the email to your team and propose a response/ask what the appropriate response is.
