you think your old firm will take you back? |

Date: April 26th, 2019 7:11 PM Author: Sepia deer antler kitchen New firm’s whole pitch was “yes you’re taking a step down in pay and prestige and level of work but we go to trial all the time and you’ll get so much more responsibility.”
I got here and they were right about the shit pay and types of cases they get, but guess what they were wrong about: I have the same role in cases as I had at biglaw, and I go to court LESS than I did in biglaw. Also, the work this place puts out is utter fucking trash, and people act like I’m nuts when I’m like “hey we should fucking spell check and read these cases we cite, which actually don’t help us.”
Firm would probably take me back but I don’t want to float that until I’m 100% sure. I moved across the country for this “opportunity” so moving back will be a huge pain. |

Date: April 26th, 2019 8:27 PM Author: Sepia deer antler kitchen So far better. Biglaw was odd. Sometimes I was grinding. I had some 2200-2500 years and I had some 2000-2100 years. This’ll be like 2100 at my current pace. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4249566&forum_id=2#38148617) |

Date: April 26th, 2019 7:26 PM Author: Azure Excitant Queen Of The Night Rigpig Can you just go back without any firm commitment to stay? That’s sometimes a decent option. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4249566&forum_id=2#38148405) |

i guess if they really need someone they would bring him back |

Date: April 26th, 2019 8:12 PM Author: Azure Excitant Queen Of The Night Rigpig Why would that be credited? Best to bounce around fewer rather than more often at firms before you locate your true career opportunity (hopefully not at a firm at all).

Date: April 26th, 2019 8:14 PM Author: Light headpube going back to the old firm is awkward and everyone is going to put you under a microscope. you'll end up anxious and paranoid and inevitably will fuck something up and get blamed.
a new firm will just be a normal lateral move, which usually works out fine. |

Date: April 26th, 2019 8:15 PM Author: Azure Excitant Queen Of The Night Rigpig Lateral moves often don’t work out. Being a known quantity somewhere can help. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4249566&forum_id=2#38148587) |

Date: April 26th, 2019 8:22 PM Author: hyperactive curious goyim Well my second firm was dewey so we all know how that worked out.
And when they were all jumping ship and negotiating moves, they told me I couldn’t come with the group because I was a lateral.
Lol when I think back and realize that was a blessing in disguise. |

Date: April 26th, 2019 8:23 PM Author: Azure Excitant Queen Of The Night Rigpig You got lucky because the firm actually blew up. There are lots of less fortuitous ways for lateral moves to go wrong. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4249566&forum_id=2#38148609) |
