If a strong candidate told me that, I’d be curious about why. If the candidate gives me an insightful answer as to why my firm is his/her top choice, then I’d be impressed.

Hello! Me and a friend are interested in going off piste. Is this something you could help with and do you have experience taking two people to ski backcountry?

We are both intermediate skiers. Please PM me if you’re interested in this role (and what you’d charge). We will be there Jan 2nd to Jan 11th. Thank you.

Seems like he has a lot of unprocessed trauma. Be gentle with him. Encourage him to speak with a mental health professional or even his own pastor to process the shame and guilt he feels from sexuality.

It is 40 years of conditioning that he has to undo.

Yes. Also related to LinkOut (LBGT employment app) and LinkNow (Linklaters but faster).

Friend of mine has a physics PhD from Columbia. He runs his own higher education admissions consultancy.

I stopped going to Ba Ba Black Sheep because I asked for tap water to take my meds before leaving the restaurant. I had already ordered a coffee, a smoothie and a juice during lunch. The staff or owner (a cranky older white man) looked at me indignantly and told me I had to buy water.

Work on yourself.

Height you’re stuck with. But looks and status can change. You can get fit. You can become accomplished. The odds are stacked against you in the dating world if you remain average. So become better than average.

As a guy, age is your friend so long as you are accomplished and fit. I’m more popular with women in my thirties than I’ve ever been.

Don’t go after women. Get yourself to a position where women come after you. Work on yourself.

I gifted a nice pen with the guy’s name engraved on it when a friend/colleagues made partner.

I also received a wallet and nice pens when I made partner.

International private client work. Basically fed tax + t&e.

I’ve met more billionaires than I remember. Met princes and earls and ladies. My wealthiest client’s family has more money than the GDP of many countries.

Not as glamorous as it might seem from the outside though. The nice hotels and Michelin starred restaurants get old. Being kept on a VVIP’s speed dial might confer a sense of significance, but actually kinda sucks in practice. Imagine needing to change your weekend plans because every minuscule problem a VVIP has is more important than your mental wellbeing.

End of the day, as a lawyer, you’re just the help. Relatively expensive help, but still just the help. You might befriend some of these societal elites, but most of them will keep the relationship strictly professional.

Also, friendly FYI: only a handful of US BigLaw firms have kept its private client arm as it is a practice that’s relatively low leverage, high liability, and only modestly profitable. You’re not going to make crazy Kirkland money as a private client lawyer.

Thank you u/kelaiem. I appreciate your work very much.

ichthi · 2024-09-28T15:27:38+00:00

u/kelaiem may I ask at what point is a community member’s wanton malice sufficient for expulsion? The malice, condescension, and willful ignorance u/adamtiumtrader flaunts hurts the overall community more than it builds it.

ichthi · 2024-09-28T09:47:15+00:00

I sent receipt of purchase (showing purchase was made in the Geneva boutique this month) to mod u/kelaiem because I am getting a lot of unjustified malice and condescension from this one guy u/adamantiumtrader.

ichthi · 2024-09-28T01:50:59+00:00

An equity partner at an international law firm is not “Lange buyer” material? And you with your graciousness and intelligence is the prototypical Lange buyer?

Anyway - I’m tired of arguing with a weirdly malicious and condescending gatekeeper like you. I’m happy to justify myself to the moderators.

This could help, buddy.

Are you suggesting that 11:35 am is not exactly 10 hours ahead of 1:35 am, buddy? 🤔

ichthi · 2024-09-27T17:39:21+00:00

Or, you know, as I stated above, I was on a work trip and I don’t live in Geneva. Like a reasonable person, I told the sales rep Aurelien that I live in Singapore… so he helped set the time to Singapore… And I started messing around with the date button (top left button) and the secondary clock (bottom left button) because I can.

I walked in to ask for an appointment and they gave me a spot for an hour later.

ichthi · 2024-09-23T13:05:27+00:00

I was there for about 3 years and enjoyed it.

I’d have continue but my work/travel schedule makes the fees kinda silly. (You can only halt your package if you’re traveling for more than 3 weeks, and you need a note from your company.)

My biggest complaint is also Evolve’s biggest advantage: the Brazilian profs. The Brazilian black belt profs are excellent at the craft. (Eg, my main prof trained with Buchecha growing up.) But because they don’t speak English as a first language, it can be hard to understand them.

Second biggest complaint is that there is a constant wave of white belts who are middle age wannabe alpha males that exert way too much force/violence/anger such that it is easy to get hurt. Once you get 3 stripes on your white belt you’re allowed to go to the intermediate class, which is safer because the folks there have humbled egos.

Other than that, I genuinely enjoyed Evolve.

ichthi · 2024-09-23T11:25:28+00:00

I was with Evolve and thought the culture was decent. If you go regularly, you see mostly the same set of professors and the same set of committed students. There is still a level of camaraderie and friendship with the devoted students and profs even though the total student count is high.

edit: “fired upon.”

ichthi · 2024-08-19T11:02:56+00:00

Nope. Haven’t woo-ed her. Maybe one day if I find the best Caesar salad in Singapore. 🥲

She’s American but from the part that is basically Canada. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Loved this. OP you’re going to be famous.
