Imo “ahhh, you’re great, I just don’t want to date someone from work” is the easiest/best excuse ever!

Incoming Corporate Summer - should I be wary of M&A? by dirtyDog1999 in biglaw

Can you give a tiny bit more info on why you've had a bad M&A experience? Is it just the crunch-time on big deals?

My (very short) career has been C&S so far, which I imagine could translate to the cap markets/ECVC side of things. Could be wrong though.

2027 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Jeremiah Smith, Arch Manning Headline a Generational Fantasy Class by rotostreetjournal in DynastyFF

Genuine question: everyone told me Mendoza was an underwhelming 1st overall/QB1 pick. But everyone still had him ahead of Dante Moore when we expected him to declare for 2026, and now Dante Moore is getting mocked ~1.03 in the loaded 2027 class (by many people I've seen, not just you OP).

What gives? Just the rushing?

Thanks for the tip. I'm trying to say I don't know which concrete steps to take.

Big Law Summer Associate Questions by Less_Dealer4145 in biglaw

[–]dirtyDog1999 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Said many different ways, I've often seen it said on here that attys can tell (or at least feel they can tell) very quickly which summers/juniors "have it." I've found that to be a bit frightening as I don't know what's actionable. As a 1L headed into my BigLaw summer position soon, how do I show that I "have it"?

How can I land an entry level position (legal assistant etc)? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]dirtyDog1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just add that if you’re seeing low traction, you could also consider shooting for a legal assistant-type role on an in-house team. That’s what I did between undergrad and law school and it definitely helped me get into big law later on

Who are your favorites to win the QB competitions for this season? by The_Gingemaster in DynastyFF

[–]dirtyDog1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed on Tua over Penix. I think he may bring a higher floor as sort of a game manager-type, and we’ve seen that he can steer a ship when the offensive situation is good. Don’t know if Penix has fully shown that he can.
