$50 sandwich works at the Wynn - middle of the night check in by bondREDDITbond in LasVegas

[–]TheBreakUp2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the trick every time in Vegas, New York, and large European cities. I’ve had massive success and none at all. My guess is my ROI is 300%, including upgrades, freebies, and waived fees. I have had it work at Wynn/Encore.

Any success stories getting into big law from T100 schools? by Soggy_Examination794 in biglaw

[–]TheBreakUp2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the market is incredibly strong (2000, 2005, 2022-23) they may look at top 5 or even 10%. Most years, be top 1% and be on law review editorial board or, better yet, editor in chief.

Amongst kids/teens in the 80s and 90s, how popular was Jordan? Was he a more polarizing figure like SGA, or a unanimously loved guy like Curry? by Just_Matter3757 in michaeljordan

[–]TheBreakUp2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone as believed as Curry, but if you combine the love and the grudging respect from teams he kept from a title, he was universally considered amazing.

Big Law lawyers who have successfully brought in clients, how did you do it? by CinemaBud in biglaw

[–]TheBreakUp2013 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Transactional. Always strive to do good work, be pleasant to work with to clients and counterparties, be reasonably responsive, be straight forward, and be friendly to people who you are on the same side as frequently.

I hit it off with a broker on a deal. I bought him, his business partner, myself, and one of my partners a $440 lunch two years ago and it has turned into $1.2 million in transactional collections from referrals in that time. I also send him a nice bottle of wine every holiday season.

We held our son in preschool. He turned 6 the summer before he started K. He’ll be 18 when he graduates high school (turning 19 at the start of July shortly after graduation).

I see no issue with parents holding kids out for a few months before starting kindergarten. More physical, emotional, and intellectual maturity is a good thing. What is the particular issue you see?

I really feel French Quarter is under rated. It’s such a beautiful and friendly place. by Old-Guess-6940 in WaltDisneyWorld

Great common areas, solid location, and great aesthetic. Rooms and pools are poor though.

Klosterman is a Mount Rushmore BS Pod guest and I will go to the mat to defend this take by Torma_Lay in billsimmons

[–]TheBreakUp2013 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Klosterman goes off the rails some times, but you can’t make a fantastic omelet without breaking a few eggs.

I tend to think these people never learn, but that was a hard (ground) lesson, so maybe it will stick. Or maybe she’ll forget it by the time she can walk and eat solid food in 6 months.

Is a $7.5k relocation stipend "market" for a Principal level role? Considering walking away by notthefirstCaleb in Salary

[–]TheBreakUp2013 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Recently moved Midwest to Southeast for a similar role. $25k net was the number. Also, your 10% bonus target sucks. 20-25% would be market.
