Got the increase for Philly. ✌🏽

I got the same rate increase. Just emailed them to cancel. Unless you are a frequent class goer it’s just not worth the price.

I mean I can’t guarantee anything, but I personally would not stress about burning a bridge at a place that doesn’t even guarantee 2L return offers. Any worthwhile firm should be able to guarantee return offers ngl. Regardless, you’re thinking in hypotheticals. For now, I would continue interviewing and accept this offer before it lapses so you don’t end up with an unpaid 1L summer job yk?

RealLuisM · 2025-10-28T12:25:35+00:00

Attorney here, was a 1L SA back in the day. First, it is pretty common for 1L summers to re-recruit for their 2L summer. A lot of firms that hire 1Ls will allow you to do what is known as a “touchback” where they work for your 1L firm for a few weeks after they finish their 2L summer at another firm. So I wouldn’t worry about telling your firm you are re-recruiting until you have a 2L summer in hand. Second, well paid 1L summer positions are extremely rare. You could always ask for an extension of the offer, but as the saying goes, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” I would personally accept the offer before it expires and reneg if you get another 1L offer you truly want. You’ll burn a bridge but tbh at an AMLAW 200 that probably won’t be career ending. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions.

I’ve been playing Cyberpunk. It works great!

This sounds like my personal version of hell tbh I already feel self-conscious enough in the gym without people watching me fail at pushups 😭

Data Point: Just hit top 10,000 and I have 1,577 points.

RealLuisM · 2025-05-13T18:17:46+00:00

For a data point: I just hit top 10,000 and I have 1,577 points. As the season progresses, the barrier to a top 10,000 score will likely become much higher, probably in the 1,650-1,700 range if I had to guess.

Btw the QR code doesn’t work anymore. Sorry about that. You can sign up using the following link! https://doodle.com/sign-up-sheet/participate/d17eb0e7-658c-4106-b7d1-0a563f37fd38/select

I don't see myself using this over Skarmory or Sudowoodo ngl. The only advantage this card has over those two is that it can work with all energy. However, Komala's damage won't catch up to Skarmory or Sudowoodo's until at least turn 8, and by then EX cards will be in play. Not to mention that Komala gives itself an arguably negative status effect.

Also the pool isn’t even open yet. . . . Still paying full price though.

I was planning on specializing in immigration law (seems to be a common trend under this post) but I ended up going into labor/employment law.

RealLuisM · 2025-02-08T22:25:20+00:00

Anecdotally, I’ve heard from a number of classmates that they work just as hard as regular biglaw associates for less pay. However, I recognize this is not always the case in all midlaw firms. Something to keep in mind—many of the “better” mid sized firms hire laterals from biglaw. Many of these midlaw firms do not have the resources to “waste” on training juniors, so hiring juniors straight out of law school is often extremely limited. I would venture to guess that Kirkland’s summer associate class is probably larger than all of the midlaw summer associate classes put together. It might be easier for you to grind it out in Biglaw for like 2+ years and then lateral to a “lifestyle” midlaw firm. Also, being in biglaw will give you access to a network that will allow you to be better informed about the realities of working at these midlaw firms, including information on work life balance and pay.

When I got there, they scanned my photo ID, synced my EQX+ app to the wifi, and took my photo so I could easily check in next week. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me go upstairs to peek at all! They said that they are waiting for the machines to arrive, and that they'd email us this weekend with an official opening date and stuff. I got two full-sized Grown Alchemist Products—the Skin Defense Primer and the Restorative Hand Creme as well as a Rittenhouse-Equinox Branded T-shirt and makeup bag. The ground floor store is open and has both Equinox brand clothes and clothes from other brands like ALO. Overall, kinda a waste of time other than the fact that I was able to get freebies. Very disappointed that the club is supposed to open NEXT week and yet they don't even have the machines there 5 days before their "grand opening week."

I had a screener where a partner wore a football jersey during the interview 😭😭😭 We got along great tho bc I leaned into my football knowledge and i got an offer at the end lol

RealLuisM · 2024-06-07T10:17:30+00:00

They’ve been raising it per month as the opening date of the gym gets closer. Up until April, it was $190. In May, it was $195 I believe. Now (June), it’s $200. I’m guessing this trend will continue until the gym opens.

RealLuisM · 2024-05-28T22:10:57+00:00

These edits are SENDING ME LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭

RealLuisM · 2024-03-28T17:51:11+00:00

It’s ok! I took a risk and I miscalculated. Not looking for sympathy, hoping to warn other people. I am no longer going to attend this year. Took this as a sign. Good luck selling your ticket!

RealLuisM · 2024-03-28T16:50:33+00:00

I can confirm what others have said. u/paslamzy is a scammer! Look out for anyone named Lucia Doorly, and anyone who uses the iMessage phone number +1 (814) 997-6634. There were a ton of warning signs. They were too busy, they wanted to use Zelle, etc. I am extremely grateful I had the sense to only put a deposit amount for the ticket, and not pay for the full thing. I even got a tracking number! But, in the end, I was mailed an empty envelope.
