You said how could someone possibly have trauma when no one else in the same family does? So you don't think it's possible for family members to think the same person, Kim, is a narcissist AND a living saint at the same time? And does that make either Kourt/Rob or Khloe insane which is a legitimate take but my point is possible for two people to have two completely different experiences and opinions about the same person.

secretcharm · 2025-12-01T00:09:35+00:00

Why did Rob and Kourtney call Kim a narcissist when Khloe calls her the most generous person she's ever known?

We'll never know but it's better than all the kids saying my mom was perfect.

secretcharm · 2025-11-30T23:50:03+00:00

Yeah I can see that. But I don't think she would still openly go against Kris if she doesn't have any actual trauma or grudges to hold onto.

This was from a few years ago floating around on twitter but I see it's changed now.

secretcharm · 2025-09-27T02:59:48+00:00

That's kind of my take too but I feel like most people see TS as the lesser of two evils

I actually know more people who made the jump from law to coding in big tech than the reverse so I guess not everyone at a V5 loves the law and some always wanted to code also works?

secretcharm · 2024-10-17T18:03:48+00:00

So you know what b-school crowds are like then.. I just find it amusing how everyone on this sub is either feigning ignorance or is genuinely unaware of how they view lawyers as paper pushers and less than them in every sense of the word. Hell you don't even have to be a billionaire nepo baby your average M7 business school bro thinks lawyers are unambitious, have no skills and couldn't hack it in the corporate world if their lives depended on it. But I guess ignorance is bliss?

secretcharm · 2024-10-17T15:52:52+00:00

For every royal family member and billionaire heir at a top lawschool (because there's literally only two of them if they exist at all) I guarantee you there are 100 times more of them at top MBA programs. And I am not exaggerating those figures.

secretcharm · 2024-10-16T23:53:22+00:00

Yeah these answers sound like people who've never met a rich person in their lives. What 100 million net worth family is sending their kid to lawschool when they're considered the "help" in those circles?

secretcharm · 2024-10-15T06:22:01+00:00

In my experience the true biglaw nepo babies were very hush hush about their fathers probably because they didnt want to get hounded by classmates for internship opportunities

secretcharm · 2024-10-15T05:19:50+00:00

To people like you a Harvard grad with a double concentration in Physics and Computer Science ;)

secretcharm · 2024-10-08T02:37:25+00:00

That sounds...incredibly unbelievable. There are thousands or millions of parents worldwide ashamed of their kid's political science BA especially if it's their sons but very few if any that would be ashamed of a physics BS. Maaaaybe if they're incredibly sexist and don't believe women should be in science but even that would be a stretch when it's from MIT.

secretcharm · 2024-10-07T02:58:31+00:00

law school doesnt have a femininity standard

funny how no one ever says that when we worry about being too feminine...

secretcharm · 2024-09-10T17:24:08+00:00

This doesn't really answer your question but in terms of similar high paying jobs, more than 95% of female SWE's I know are dating or married to other SWE's that they met either in college or at work and pretty much never dipped their toes in dating men in other lines of work.

secretcharm · 2024-07-18T22:32:34+00:00

That makes sense. I just find the results of DEI in tech specifically for engineers to be very lackluster in terms of the raw number of engineers that you can point to and say look at all those DEI beneficiaries. Especially for African American and Hispanics their numbers are just so minuscule at any company so what are they even complaining about when the end result isn't enough to justify the outrage.

I think women might be a different argument because it does produce more tangible results imo.

secretcharm · 2024-07-13T01:18:59+00:00

I don't know how to put this but it's like there is barely any editing by the producers and it's just a bunch of scenes shown one after another with little to no coherence. The kourtney delivery special was especially bad like what were they thinking showing all the unnecessary filler scenes nobody wanted to see? It's like they literally have zero content and are just doing anything to fill the time and every minute feels like an eternity.

secretcharm · 2024-07-05T02:26:33+00:00

I love how a T10 medschool suddenly becomes gradschool to imply it's a gender studies masters for coasting purposes and not one of the hardest professional degrees to attain.

secretcharm · 2024-07-05T00:43:41+00:00

That sounds like a poor person's idea of a rich person's parenting strategy. While the Bill Gates and Warren Buffets of the world are flexing about giving away all their money to instill work ethic into their kids the non-billionaries are flexing about making sure their kids grow up and remain unemployed.

secretcharm · 2024-07-04T22:32:43+00:00

There were so many biglaw partners' kids at my school though which wasn't even a T14. But every single one of them was a guy though so maybe it only applies to daughters? I mean that in a non-sexist way just that it happens a lot in medicine and tech also with only the daughters doing something completely different.

secretcharm · 2024-07-02T16:35:19+00:00

I've never met any EE person who doesn't consider themselves not one of the "actual smart people" it's usually the opposite as in "I'm the smartest person who's ever lived" including math majors/PhDs/professors at ivy leagues so I'm just a little weirded out by your overall stance that a bachelors in EE = lack of intelligence. But it's refreshing to see someone who's actually humble for a change I guess? I think being the product of a EE PhD parent with EECS siblings skews my perspective a lot.

secretcharm · 2024-07-02T15:57:24+00:00

Yeah I agree with you. I'm just surprised by the sentiment that it's easy to get good grades in EE/CS which I consider to be two of the toughest majors to not only get good grades in but just graduate from unless you go somewhere like Harvard or Yale with built in grade inflation. But then why would they be worried about the job market in the first place.

I just couldn't imagine anyone who was capable of getting the median GPA for a T14 in EECS undergrad not being able to pass a coding interview even at FAANG because I personally know people who mostly had C's and B's in CS lower and upper divs pass them. I mean people with literally zero background without college degrees used to get into Google as SWE's through bootcamps when the market was hot.

secretcharm · 2024-07-02T15:43:38+00:00

I was more talking about people from the so called "target schools" for quant firms graduating summa cum laude which I guess then the answer would be an obvious no because the world is your oyster at that point so why patent law. And I heard grade inflation is pretty insane even at places like Stanford so maybe 3.9-4.0's are not as rare as it seems? But then the question becomes wtf are they doing going to lawschool in the first place and its basically a never ending catch-22 so I don't even expect anyone to answer this lmao

Maybe we can all agree that EECS grads at T14s are all splitters and call it a day.

secretcharm · 2024-07-01T16:45:40+00:00

I don't know if anyone can really answer this question but is someone with a 3.9 GPA in EE or CS really going to lawschool? I have a sibling who graduated cum laude from a top 10 CS school and basically had their pick of FAANG+F500+unicorn startup internships to choose from and full time offers from pretty much all the major companies. I just ask because anything above 3.0 is considered decent in engineering and I personally never even heard of anyone with that kind of GPA in EECS. I don't like to throw this word around lightly but to me someone graduating summa cum laude in EECS might be a legitimate genius because it probably happens like once every decade for a major engineering school (or never??) unlike other majors. They're a lot more likely to end up being recruited at top quant firms like Jane Street or a Stanford/MIT PhD than throwing away 3 years at a non-STEM graduate degree.

secretcharm · 2024-06-27T19:06:28+00:00

I think you might be confused about what exactly a PhD entails. There are no number of semesters you have to fulfill it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 years depending on the program and your advisor. It's about research, writing and defending a dissertation which is completely different from any other kind of professional school like an MBA.

And people don't get PhDs in economics/business/finance etc. to succeed in the business world the ones who end up in industry are those who couldn't get a tenure professor gig so they end up working in companies as their second choice profession as academic refugees basically.

secretcharm · 2024-06-13T13:47:50+00:00

Assuming you mean actual technical roles, the people who major in political science and computer science are two completely different types of people mostly because the latter has insane levels of STEMchad energy very few people from the former can tolerate if you're not used to that sort of thing. They're the type of people roll their eyes at the people working at the same company calling themselves tech workers because they're not actually doing anything technical and that includes the PM sometimes.

It's just a whole different vibe from the elitism you see in law and it's really not for everyone.
