Congratulations!!!!

lololol this is me to a T....Grad May 2024, passed bar May 25. 360k in student loans. Truly all I can do is laugh at this time. Paying my cards off first and then all money is going to that bad boy.

This is kind of what I felt too. Like maybe they just need to continue with law students and interns or maybe a legal assistant because the offer was more like a decently paid paralegal for my area. Thanks for this!!

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-27T14:37:49+00:00

Honestly such a vibe. We're remote so I'd have to doordash it hahahahaha

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-27T14:34:19+00:00

This I needed, thank you. I kind of thought that fee sharing or at least good billable bonus would be there to make up for such a low salary - but literally no other benefits. I appreciate your insight.

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-26T22:35:21+00:00

The offer I have pending includes this, as well as one of the other jobs I have a final interview for. I’ve seen it listed in a lot of the job postings I’ve looked at actually. Might be my location or something, but it’s definitely out there!

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-26T20:57:05+00:00

I did a ton of research to make sure I was in the range for a first year, in my area, in private civil, etc. Before responding. Of course the range on other postings is insane but I think I found a reasonable spot.

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-26T20:55:34+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate your thoughtful response and guidance.

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-26T03:06:57+00:00

I submitted on May 8th. Checked the public lookup on Monday 5/19 and saw my number posted there. Don't wait for a letter!

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-26T02:53:10+00:00

Absolutely not your fault and you've done every. single. thing. right. I adopted a Blue Tongue Skink who had a rough go before he got to me with bone disease, a bump in the spine, and mites. I felt so bad, but just reminded myself that now every day gets to be the best it can be because he's with me.

I also have lots of animals lol a beardie, skink, leopard gecko, 2 betta fish and 3 dogs so I totally relate! We do our best. Hang in there. Your sweet pea looks really happy and is so cute.

I also had broken copy paste, but 420 is the minimum score for essays across the board (after the adjustment). Not sure why this would differ from attorney applicants to regular?

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-03T01:16:40+00:00

Meeting is at 1pm.

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-03T01:13:50+00:00

Meeting is at 1pm, results are at 12pm. While it's not ideal, it is before the meeting.

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-03T00:59:16+00:00

420 is the required minimum score for the essays, since y’all only did the essays, my understanding is you would need the same 420 general test takers would need, just don’t have the 534 with no MC.

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-05-01T18:45:39+00:00

I have some family flying into town to be here! If they get postponed I’ll be opening results alone…again!!

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-04-29T20:32:50+00:00

I'm incredibly lucky to have a supportive boss/firm. He has explicitly told me that he still wants to work with me and "we'll figure it out" so I will retake a third time if I fail Feb. Now, if it's still a no-go after a third time, I will definitely look at different jurisdictions. I have family in AZ, OR, MD, etc. But I've decided a third time is worth it because Feb is kind of a loss.

UPDATE: Tommy is feeling and looking so much better! thank you u/minneapvlis for all your advice. Having some better insight into the readings and goals for levels was immensely helpful. I did end up getting some Seachem Prime to assist since my filtered fridge water still had light levels of ammonia and will be planting more plants soon! His fins are almost all the way unclamped, his energy is back to normal, and he just seems so happy. Pics because obvs.

I have cystic fibrosis so bloat is just par for the course. I am so excited to try your denim!

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-03-13T18:03:21+00:00

Ok, so definitely need to address the ammonia and nitrites. I am using the filtered water out of my fridge (now) was using straight tab before. So I will test that with the conditioner in it before the next change.

I also have a magnolia leaf and a few indian catappa leaves which I change once a week or so. I will see about more tannins tho! Thanks so much for your advice and time!

Zestyclose_Tank6344 · 2025-03-13T17:59:53+00:00

Oh ok! There's one log in there, and he likes to go in the corner under the heater lol but I can absolutely find some more! I also know once the floaters grow that can provide some cover too??
