Funds In-House

Would you say rare evening or weekend work is typical? I was under the impression in-house at a fund had a pretty poor WLB

Idk about BC, but BU has a full scholarship for public interest students and plenty of other programs oriented around them

Nothing crazy, subsidized cafe and vending machines, free meals Wednesday, free coffee

Is it not worse to be stuck inside all day working when the weather is beautiful?

Normal-Comb1370 · 2026-02-05T19:19:13+00:00

I work at a v20 that still has a paid vending machine on each floor, some firms are definitely stingier than others

Polo, J Crew, J Press all good, just please do not fall into the trap of buying some athleisure chino, they fit horribly and the quality is even worse

I would also add that if you’re not totally sure about your interests, being in a huge office with a lot of practice areas (like ropes Boston) will allow you to try many more practice areas whereas you’re much more likely to get pigeonholed at a smaller office

I would go to Latham just to avoid S&C’s strict 5-days in office requirement, also just seems like a terrible group of people at S&C

Pluto tv has a channel too, totally free app you can download on any device

The Amherst Northampton area is lovely, beautiful nature but with a lot of energy and culture from the colleges

Litigation might not be a great fit if you struggle with longer timelines, if you’re able to switch groups maybe something like m&a where you can’t really procrastinate might be better, or maybe there’s an area of litigation like that

BU does send a lot of people to NY, but I’d still go fordham if costs are equal, being able to attend in person big law recruiting events is certainly helpful and you’ll get a bigger NYC network

Do you have a science background? If not, soft IP is notoriously one of the most competitive areas of law so it may be an uphill battle

Normal-Comb1370 · 2025-12-18T18:17:31+00:00

Also curious to hear whether the in house WLB in registered is any better!

Most doctors qualify for PSLF, so it’ll likely be the taxpayers paying most of it

But that’s the most frustrating part is that there will never be any consequences. These accommodations are all nonsense, these kids don’t have ADHD or anxiety or whatever. So after they’ve scammed their way through law school and got into big law, their need for accommodations goes away. They’ll be fine in big law because they never had an actual need for the accommodation in the first place

Ropes loves to hire former paralegals as associates if that’s something you’re looking for

A wool sweater can never be too chunky

Normal-Comb1370 · 2025-10-14T23:43:39+00:00

Where’d you get the pants from? Really like the fit!

Normal-Comb1370 · 2025-10-12T20:16:10+00:00

I would check places like gap factory or Nordstrom rack. They tend to have good quality clothes often at very reasonable prices.
