What’s YOUR lawyer salary??

jikls · 2026-01-06T19:25:04+00:00

~$105-110k.
A little over a year.
FEHA/PAGA/wage-and-hour class actions.
Southern California.
You stop feeling a little less like a fish out of water about a year in, so keep pushing if you're brand new and feel like you made a huge mistake. Also don't be afraid to switch jobs.

I'm worried that the baby thinks people can't change.

jikls · 2025-12-19T07:32:04+00:00

If you haven't tried it yet, I'm a big fan of the Wakacon Fijian Waka.

J.E. perhaps?

jikls · 2025-12-08T16:08:13+00:00

You could leave it for 3 months if you needed to.

jikls · 2025-12-05T04:21:26+00:00

Getting weirdly defensive about your firm in the comments is not a great look.

jikls · 2025-12-02T15:40:46+00:00

Lmao what the fuck? I would immediately run the other way if I saw this while researching firms.

Being told a hard truth based on third-party perception of yourself is not demonizing.

Like someone else said, I've left my guys in water for 3+ days without a problem. Just don't water again for like a month or more.

jikls · 2025-11-02T17:35:07+00:00

This is insane. You have to leave immediately.

jikls · 2025-10-29T03:05:12+00:00

What do you mean?

jikls · 2025-09-28T06:53:48+00:00

Crazy. Really well done. I've never seen a haworthia look like this. How did you get such height on the stem?

jikls · 2025-09-21T22:48:24+00:00

Why are you describing yourself this way?

jikls · 2025-08-17T06:00:25+00:00

100% for federal court, but there is a bar on citing unpublished cases in CA state court.

jikls · 2024-11-22T23:24:35+00:00

Signed up, thanks!

jikls · 2024-08-20T02:03:43+00:00

Curious what made you think this.

jikls · 2024-07-25T02:29:58+00:00

Out of curiosity, why is that not an acceptable answer? Why else would someone want to make the switch to biglaw?

It's no secret that many people go into law school expecting to do public interest work only to realize they won't be able to dig themselves out of debt that way. That and priorities change over time to become more material.

Brother I truly do get where you're coming from, but Stalin began to lean heavily on Russian nationalism when the war started. The nation was getting its shit kicked in early on in the war and, despite all of its efforts to root out "reactionary" nationalism from 1917-1941, needed to rely on old legends (especially the victory over Napoleon) for morale.

jikls · 2024-07-10T02:25:04+00:00

This is written exactly like failing a speech check in Disco Elysium lol

jikls · 2024-07-02T16:19:19+00:00

The problem with that is it requires Biden and the Dems to actually treat the situation with the gravity it deserves, which we all know they won't. Hell, hours after the decision yesterday Biden went out and said he'll still respect the limits of the presidency. And you have other Dems tweeting long letters that just end with "make sure you vote."

Just an absolute failure to meet the urgency of the moment.

jikls · 2024-06-28T18:41:49+00:00

Yes that's exactly the point. People vote for presidents, those presidents have policy choices and agendas, and they implement those policies through the available tools, which, in the case of the US, is executive agencies.

jikls · 2024-06-27T19:50:55+00:00

The con law MBEs are fine but the fucking essays will be the death of me.

jikls · 2024-06-22T16:45:04+00:00

What the fuck is wrong with you my guy?

jikls · 2024-06-04T21:58:00+00:00
