at the risk of sounding like an incel i can assure you that is painfully untrue lmao

@crybaby2024: i imagine stressing the intellectual challenges associated with that kind of practice over the ends
Mountaineer99
15:55
i'm not one of them though

i made a PI-focused application but i imagine being like "i like tough challenging jobs and working hard and i appreciate the law and helping the world run smoothly"

I just lied lmao @crybaby2024:

Crybaby2024 message me next year and i show u mine lol
crybaby2024
15:57
like that's what i think i would do if i wanted big law. Just cuz its so much easier to write a compelling i wanna save the world essay than like "i love helping the economy and the poor marginalized 1%" lol
manifestT14acceptances
15:57
i can also imagine it reads like a business school application
SeanStrickland2024
15:58
Lmao yep I said I wanna help people, in reality I just want money
manifestT14acceptances
15:58
like "this is what im good at so i want to do it"

everyone wants PI on their law school application
UnwrittenOssifiedRoadrunner

But if you can write a good "here's why I think securities regulation is important and I want to learn about it" you'll stand out against all the "I want to be an international human rights lawyer"
babybunny
15:58
cuz it makes you sound like a “good person”

has any school ever calculated what % of applicants come in wanting to do PI vs what % of alumni end up in PI 5 years out of law school
SeanStrickland2024
15:59
I know it’s like 60 percent at nyu do bl and most probs say pi goin in

@CTCSH: girl the way i am scrubbing this site from my mind the second I give up on my WL wetdreams, re: "come to you next year"

@UnwrittenOssifiedRoadrunner: don’t think so

@SeanStrickland2024: to be fair a lot of people do big law right out of getting out of school and then go into PI once their finances stabilize
SeanStrickland2024
16:02
Lmao true but then a lot also get used to having money and then don’t leave
manifestT14acceptances
16:02
also true!

Personally I’m not working lawyer hours for 60k a year for “public interest”
Mountaineer99
16:02
a lot of BigLaw peeps also do significant pro bono fwiw
Mountaineer99
16:03
i knew an associate who spent a shit ton of her little free time doing restraining order applications with DV victims
Mountaineer99
16:03
some firms credit pro bono towards the hours requirement
UnwrittenOssifiedRoadrunner
16:04
most biglaw peeps ultimately go in house. It's the $/lifestyle compromise. Only a small fraction of those who start as associates end up partners

I’ll make partner at wachtell

i genuinely have no hate against people who do Big Law. I was just asking cuz I genuinely wouldnt know how to go about writing that essay. But then again, I have pretty much no interest in Big Law, possibly for a few years as others mentioned just to save up money
