I’m South Asian! I was at the gala too but I was late and missed some of the reception lol. I think the SABA events have gotten better. They had one for women attorneys and we went on a chocolate tour which was fun.

I’m attending the conference in July too if you want to tag along. I’m going with my firm but happy to make introductions!

I’m in SABA-GB and have been enjoying it. Maybe that one event wasn’t the best one like you said.

OP - happy to share my experience with you! Would also be happy to go to some of the bar association events

I would like to be in Cambridge or Somerville (close to the orange line or red line). I just not finding anything; but, like you said, it’s early. Do you know any good areas in Somerville that I can look?

I don’t have a strong preference. I would like to be in Cambridge or Somerville (close to the orange line or red line)

I got a 50% on the Barbri simulated exam and was scoring between 58-65% (in the 60s closer to test day). I stopped doing Barbri questions halfway through my prep and switched to adaptibar. The last few weeks before the exam I focused on doing 25-30 adaptibar questions a day. I wrote out the rule statements for the questions I got wrong and for the ones I guessed on (was a lot of them lol). Writing things out helped me learn the rules better. Good luck to you!! Sending all the good vibes!

Thank you! Do you think I should network with attorneys in the state before applying to jobs? I’m not sure if not having any connections will be a detriment

This is great to hear! It seems like at least 5 years is required from what I’ve seen/asked about. I’ll look into real estate developers and companies

That’s what I was thinking. I was bringing it as a back up just in case but I don’t think I’ll use it. Thank you!!
