I have a random hot take i want to drop anonymously

I think it’s silly how socially stigmatized admitting you want to do big law for a few years is.

SquidwardsHouse

0:24

Even if there are moral issues witb it, if nothing else, you can and oftentimes do get valuable OJT basically risk free if you’re not planning on doing it for a few years. Like I would hate jumping into an AUSA role from DOJ Honors straight away simply cuz I would probably fuck important shit up

@SquidwardsHouse: been a minute! Hope it’s hanging good 😌! I’m not a fan of throwing stones but there are other ways to gain experience!

if we’re talking filmmakers i think it’s kinda embarrassing for harmony korine to be embracing edgelord stuff at age 50. like bro you have a lovely wife and kids

@ararara: life is as good as can be and hope you’re doing great. Yeah, I thought it was funny simply cuz the Reddit vibe seems to be dismissive of tbe benefits of it. However at the ASDs, people even PI focused seemed to be interested in doing it for a couple years simply to pay off the loans and learn how to become a good lawyer.

SquidwardsHouse

There’s an argument to be made that it’s more morally ethical to be a know-nothing new law school grad fucking up corporate deals rather than fucking up public interest stuff! ;)

@SquidwardsHouse: the PI unicorn I worked with did BL out of law school at the firm where a corporation hired over a hundred attorneys to bury one of my heroes haha. In my mind these issues are systemic and if it’s not you someone else will be doing the shady big law things. That being said though I would be less worried about the stigma and more concerned about how you’re actually going to feel doing bad things if you have to.

SquidwardsHouse

Yea. I think the value in learning white collar crime/defense could be invaluable for someone looking to become an AUSA (my ultimate goal)

[] ararara

It’s admirable you want to do that. No wonder you care so much!

my day job is m&a consulting and so often we work alongside lawyers

MightyUnableSphinx

and the most insane thing i have ever seen in my career was this thing the lawyers did

MightyUnableSphinx

0:50

where basically, in places like poland they have something called "ip box regimes" where if you "do R&D" (develop products) domestically (in poland) you get all these tax credits and benefits, like tons and tons of them

[] ararara

0:51

lol I actually already know what you’re going to say I think

MightyUnableSphinx

0:51

but if you are acquired by a company outside of poland (or wherever the regime is), you have to pay back the value of the credits you got for r&d. so in this case the target was a polish company being acquired by a US domiciled country

MightyUnableSphinx

0:52

anyways it turned out that the target had to pay something like $5m in tax credits back to the polish government. the legal team on the deal asked my team (i am 100% corporate finance transaction advisory) to prepare this analysis of R&D (i am avoiding being technical because you will feel bored) that, to me, seemed litearlly completely pointless

MightyUnableSphinx

0:53

but then like 6 days later word came down that the legal team had succesfully argued that the R&D -- the R&D that was definitely obviously 100% R&D -- should not qualify as R&D & so they shouldn't be burdened to pay back the tax credit. makes no sense to me! you got the credits, you leave, you pay them back. but apparently not! wtf was that!

MightyUnableSphinx

0:54

anyways you said "white collar crime" and it made me think of that even though that was 100% above board i guess, it just felt like we were doing something wrong lmao
