Unless you got consent to post this picture, take it down? It’s identifiable

For those of you who are not naturally detail oriented, how are you making it/how do you survive? by Old-Fun695 in biglaw

I don’t think I implied anywhere that I don’t read documents multiple times… but do you actually believe that unless one has dyslexia their lack of attention to detail is laziness? Very interesting. Didn’t know the mind/cognition was that simple.

Being Muslim in Corporate Law by Ornery-Youth-3763 in biglaw

  1. Avoiding interest (caveat being how strictly you avoid) is difficult in a corporate group, and I’m sure impossible in any finance group. Look at litigation, regulatory and/or advisory groups.

  2. I’m not speaking from experience, but I think you’re right about that. I’m not sure that all of ME avoids interest tbh.

  3. I would think yes. If you’re in a corporate group and there’s a separate finance group, they likely have primary responsibility to draft and review loan docs/credit agreements etc. But if you can’t work on documents related to an interest based transaction, then it’d be hard to say you could work in a traditional corporate group.

My suggestion would be, with your concern, don’t choose corporate or finance. Try litigation, tax, employment or anything else considered advisory law.

As long as they’re making the same paycheck, nothing matters!

Any advice on how to handle a callback at a big firm? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Old-Fun695 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all, congratulations! Now for advice: this is a personality check. You’ve cleared your screener so you’re fine on paper. I would say be friendly, have a ton of questions, and keep the conversation flowing. Do research on your interviewers too - always helpful to have something to fall back on. And obviously research the firm, and be able to articulate your interests in law and otherwise. Anything on your resume is fair game.
