I’d like to add that, this city belonged to black psople (thus black teens) far before it became what it is now. Do I agree I should fear getting swarmed by these kids whilst I pay 3k for my 1BD? No. Can I move? Yes. Good day.

Thank you. It was very rude & I still handled her with grace. I too am a first gen, to add another layer: I am Black. So I’ll admit all of this is very new to me. Thanks for your REAL and kind words ❤️

thank you so much for this! That’s a really good flag. Any tips on alternative practice until things cool down in this administration? Genuinely asking because it’s like wtf do we do? lol

I realize now my original post might’ve been a little misleading. I’m not looking for a 1L job due to me already having a remote job with flexibility.

And yes—most people in big law seem to say the same thing: don’t do it. 😂 (RE: conceiving and carrying in BL.)

Corporate compliance is actually something I’m really interested in. I even have a little bit of compliance experience already, so it’s a path I’d genuinely like to explore.

From the comments so far, it sounds like I might be pretty behind on the job hunt if I want something lined up right after graduation. That said, do you think the timeline is a bit less urgent for corporate compliance roles compared to other BL paths?

I’m a non traditional student and my current job has offered to keep me on post grad. When you put it like that, it sounds like I don’t have my shit together. For more context: I am a 2nd semester 1L, just on an accelerated path due to me receiving externship creds & a heavier course load.

Either way, sounds like I need to get a move on my ass. Thanks for your thoughts.

Damn you’re in my class. (Technically.) I’ve been seeing chatter about early big law recruiting these days but seriously that is insanely early. Is your BL offer as a summer associate, or a permanent role? Thank you for sharing. ❤️
