More like do that work for a partner or senior who won't look at it for a week and then ask me to make hours of edits to docs that need to go out ASAP awhile they leave for the weekend. Then get yelled at for the work product with zero feedback and then put on another fire drill |

|
Date: June 20th, 2017 8:15 PM Author: fuchsia mentally impaired ticket booth chad Recruiters are all bullshit and irrelevant. The only factor is how hot the market is.

|
Date: June 20th, 2017 8:25 PM Author: infuriating adulterous nursing home ratface It often takes people ~2 years of just applying to in house jobs to find something. There are sometimes listings for more junior biglaw people and I'd absolutely take that to get out of biglaw and as a step to better in house in a few years (in house prefers hiring from in house). You also ignored the networking part, which takes time.
Unlike you and 99% of the ttt board, I'm one of the few who successfully exited biglaw, as a shitigator no less, even though it took almost 3 years. |
