Biglaw is dumb. Being a lawyer is dumb. Working is dumb.

It's not kicks and giggles, but overall a good job for the money.

So, you just want big? Doesn't matter where or what, huh?

I'm done asking. You apparently have no criteria.

You have a federal appellate court clerkship and need help finding a job?

Sometimes in life people can get a job but want to make sure to get the best job

I think he is just casting a big net and will then scrutinize offers

I agree with that, but if you are asking for help, you should answer those questions to give

Well hopefully you can find someone to help you.

The location is obviously a factor

Thanks for this. It makes a lot of sense

Step 1: Pick where you want to live (preferably somewhere with jobs) and narrow your search that way.

Be a lawyer at a small firm. Live happily ever after.

I really appreciate this comment (and yours, DirtyWater) Continue being blunt.

BigLaw won't expand options, it will narrow them (as did law school)

CobraKai

11/21/17 11:15am

I’d love to go the USAO route. Do you think biglaw helped you open that door?

26769coug

11/21/17 1:01pm

Sorry, but this is not true. Litigators at big law firms can find in-house jobs

Broda

11/21/17 1:55pm

BigLaw Lit gives way fewer in house options than BigLaw corporate

CobraKai

A lot of people who do BigLaw want out pretty quickly

Well 26769, you've just met a bunch of biglaw attorneys who have all helped you
