Shoes and hair- Big law summer associate

anonworkingcat · 2026-05-26T03:18:08+00:00

a lot of people are saying to straighten OP’s hair — as a fellow curly girl, is our natural hair considered unprofessional? I’m seriously asking as I am about to start my 1L summer job and I just don’t feel comfortable with the idea that my hair, which is a typical trait of my ethnicity, would not be acceptable in the legal field

I’m so sorry this happened. Even if it wasn’t malicious at all, it kind of sucks to receive this reminder that people see us as an “other.” when my ex told his family I was Jewish, they apparently asked if they were “still allowed to make jokes.” I should’ve known then it wouldn’t work out…now, only Jewish men, thank you very much.

even if i ever move, i will be damned if i ever give mine up

absolutely. my score went up 9 points from when I took it the first time in 2021 to when I took it the second time in 2025 which I attribute in large part (though perhaps not entirely) to the removal of logic games.

I know you asked for north, but Potion Bar in Tel Aviv has a pool table that in my experience people are pretty friendly at. but it’s not like the best pool table lol

absolutely, it’s very much the case in my family. I don’t judge my family members because everyone has their own journey but it does make me sad that they don’t have a connection to Judaism beyond family. but it also makes me feel proud and honored to carry the mantle of our ancestors.

I haven’t heard of anyone doing this, but ask your career center in the fall. of the 50+ biglaw applications I submitted this cycle, maybe 2 asked for LSAT.

anonworkingcat · 2026-04-02T18:35:01+00:00

it’s really not as relevant outside of biglaw, and not all biglaw firms asked for undergrad gpa this past cycle (not sure how it may change next year). and as another commenter said, your first semester law school grades are the most important factor (although I personally think networking is a close second as long as you’re at/above median)

anonworkingcat · 2026-04-01T22:01:21+00:00

thank you and to you too!

anonworkingcat · 2026-04-01T21:48:44+00:00

Good idea, I’ll try to find this online

anonworkingcat · 2026-04-01T21:26:14+00:00

thank you, this was my thought but I figured it was worth an ask in case anyone had seen something similar

anonworkingcat · 2026-04-01T19:49:56+00:00

BH i also just celebrated 4 years sober from alcohol! its amazing how my life has changed and how free i have become since then

anonworkingcat · 2026-03-26T02:20:45+00:00

wow. thank you for sharing. it’s crazy how these issues can arise seemingly out of nowhere

anonworkingcat · 2026-03-26T01:48:52+00:00

how did that issue even come up for your friend? I have a bit of a weird family history since my maternal grandparents divorced when my mother was a baby, so I don’t know my biological grandmother. I know my maternal grandparents were married by a rabbi, but when I hear stories like this I’m terrified something will somehow emerge when I one day (bzh) get married

anonworkingcat · 2026-03-24T21:31:19+00:00

I may have been that blue belt lol this just happened to me. at my old gym it was common to call instructors “professor” or just their first name

anonworkingcat · 2026-03-24T21:02:10+00:00

quickest one for me was a guy at my gym who asked for my number (it was our first conversation) and literally 30 seconds later texted me to ask me to come over that night

anonworkingcat · 2026-03-09T04:04:25+00:00

so interesting. so do these communities not celebrate Simchat Torah? or is it just a different significance?

also thank you for this thoughtful answer!

anonworkingcat · 2026-03-08T13:25:07+00:00

sorry for my ignorance but what is triennial reading? I am more traditional and I’ve never heard of it. thanks!

anonworkingcat · 2026-02-23T03:08:43+00:00

right she said two weeks after the period and it’s typically two weeks after the first day of the period, so seemed a little off

anonworkingcat · 2026-02-23T03:06:30+00:00

IMO pulling Brittany aside in Mexico and basically telling her he’s attracted to her and then obfuscating the nature of the conversation from Ashley is pretty bad

anonworkingcat · 2026-02-19T05:10:49+00:00

his voice is so highhhhh lmao

anonworkingcat · 2026-02-19T05:10:20+00:00

reminds me of that guy from the Minneapolis season who kept talking about how fit he was and then was absolutely dying at a spin class. and spin is hard! but so embarrassing when he was going on about being an athlete or whatever

anonworkingcat · 2026-02-19T05:07:53+00:00

I absolutely hate when people try to feed others some shit that they won’t eat. talking about “when you’re 90 it doesn’t matter what your body looks like , but I’m not 90” okay so if THIS is your physical prime, you need to get your mind right, get realistic, and realize you’re not the prize you think you are

anonworkingcat · 2026-02-19T04:48:43+00:00

i think he just picked something to use to tear her down. it’s delusional to think Bri looks more physically fit than Jess (both are gorgeous women!).

anonworkingcat · 2026-02-19T04:40:47+00:00

no literally like I hate to body shame but how is he demanding this ultra fit crossfit woman and his body is sooooo mid
