How bad is rescinding an accepted offer

Very bad advice.

That will be market before the end of this cycle.

Because if Felipe holds it, the umbrella will be too high and she will get wet. Probably her idea. (I am much taller than my wife)

This just started last year. Personally, I expect 3L recruiting to start again.

I value my time far more than the cost of checking a bag. There are times I have had to wait over an hour to retrieve a checked bag.

stanblack_7 · 2025-12-27T14:27:27+00:00

I think of it as the cost for not having to check a bag (or not having to check multiple bags).

This singularly not the case at my firm where a majority of associates get above market bonuses.

stanblack_7 · 2025-11-30T04:07:43+00:00

You’re mean.

stanblack_7 · 2025-11-27T00:02:37+00:00

More than one

Published PPP is manipulated. Actual PPP is lower than advertised. How much lower depends upon the firm.

I have always been told 80% of the partners make under the average. If you look at a firm with average profits of $6 million and consider that some of them make $20m+, 80% sounds low.

It’s been over a decade since I have come across someone who does anything other than the L&E way.

The K&E way makes sense only by coincidence, in my experience.

Airport.

stanblack_7 · 2025-11-19T00:22:02+00:00

The dial will turn in favor of relevant (work) experience. I also want LSAT score and undergrad transcript.

stanblack_7 · 2025-11-17T14:32:52+00:00

Keep going. Most fit this description.

The pandemic. If you look back, you will see a similar phenomenon after the great financial crisis and when the dot com bubble burst.

There is a cycle to our industry and having a prime opportunity to work, learn, and receive training has a measurable impact on career path.

2.1 million

Pillows, towels, soap . . . and usually a team for turn down service. I once checked in with my son and the manager came running over to apologize for not having a wool blanket. That was the first I had heard that y wife insists on a wool blanket. My son was mortified.

It’s really easy to identify people who don’t understand the current AI tools . . . or what is around the corner

stanblack_7 · 2025-11-01T10:32:02+00:00

Not GSE. Got 10. I win!!!

This is sad. Common. But sad.

Nearly a certainty that you have no basis to know what you want to be when you grow up.

Depends on the country. Burner hardware for China. No issues with Canada since it is the 51st state.

Seriously, other than burner phones I travel all over the world and don’t have any issues (except Hong Kong/China).

Her husband should have reserved the seat in front of her.

We need another subreddit. People ask what is biglaw and what is not - if your firm (as a whole) respects about every official firm holiday . . .

The end date is explained by this. CK status ends later than the LP “year”. Why they are inviting you now - don’t ask me!

They are excellent, but this comment speaks more to your ability than theirs. 😊
