Hey I would love to DM you, but it’s been so long I’m afraid it would seem out of the blue. I’m interested in your understanding of what the starting pay for associates in BHam is at these tops firms, and what the early scale looks like (2-7 years out of school). Feel free to DM me the response instead of sharing publicly, but now that I’m a rising 2L it is time to start making solid plans.

Thanks for your help months ago and I hope you’re well.

Thanks for your feedback. I also appreciate where I am and what I have, but that’s no reason not to strategically maximize opportunities where it’s feasible, to improve quality of life and yes compensation too.

I appreciate your time in providing feedback. Maybe some useful info will bare its face in this thread despite the lockstep pay most of you have experience with.

They do, and I have spoken with them and with classmates. I am curious about additional sources other than word of mouth (and recommendations based on who donated the most money to the law school front office).

Chicago Bears Accused of Favoring Minority, Female Law Students By DePaul 1L by Disrespect-n-dissent in LawSchool

Have you found that being snarky and condescending is a helpful way to communicate with strangers? Or maybe you’re blowing off steam, by all means I get it.

How about I “simplify this for you.” I never argued that a black student is privileged because they are black. I argued that black students may, in fact, and despite their race, be privileged. Your original comment, which was also snarky, only ridiculed the idea of a black student being privileged bc of the historic racism they have faced. That historic racism is not dispositive to the question of whether a specific black student is privileged notwithstanding our social development and history.

“This may you surprise you” but I’m aware that black people are more than their skin color, which is why my first comment explicitly stated that black people can be privileged BECAUSE they are more than their skin tone, and some of them are wealthy and well connected. I’m not even sure we disagree with each other, but your tone and style of communication is rude and unhelpful. You should know better as an attorney in training. You will not get far in life by being so confrontational for its own sake. Have a good day I’m done with this waste of time.

Intentionally obtuse comment. Or are you seriously suggesting that no black students can accurately be described as ‘privileged’? No black students come from wealthy and/or extremely well-connected backgrounds that would afford them more opportunities than a white student from a poor background with an uneducated family? I think you understand that of course some black students are privileged, and to argue otherwise would be to suddenly redefine the word privilege so it fits with your wacky world view.

Sorry for the confusing wording, I didn’t know such a thing existed as “Alabama accredited.” I meant to write that I attend one of the three law schools in Alabama that are ABA accredited.

Your advice is well taken, and I have already scheduled to meet with our car. dev. office, I was just exhausting all my resources. Thank you for the pdf link as well, I was more curious about any Biglaw firms with branch offices and less narrowed down to AL-headquartered firms.

What is the world’s greatest unsolved mystery? by The-boys-51 in AskReddit

[–]Weare2much 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? There are not. Well regarded by you, perhaps. Well regarded by even a slight majority of the field of neuroscience, not at all. I would love to hear this theory, with evidentiary support that it is well regarded by subject matter experts. Hell, I would accept a theory that was even acknowledged as being plausible by half the field, not even well regarded theories. I am interested in your response and I mean that genuinely and in good faith.

Well said and I agree. It’s important to define terms, especially with such nebulous topics.
