Deferred Cravath Associate Playing Bioshock All Day
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 7th, 2009 11:33 AM Author: diverse parlor mother I needed something to keep my busy so I picked up Bioshock for my 360 last week. I have been playing it non-stop since. I can't believe how good this game is. I literally get freaked out playing it with the lights out.
Anyway, I just want to thank all of you for recommending this game. Honestly, I will now come to autoadmit for all my gaming needs. |

Date: November 7th, 2009 12:18 PM Author: diverse parlor mother Cravath's deferral package for the class of 2009 is beyond generous dood--it's pure bliss.
Also, I have spoken to some friends who started on time and they say the firm is slammed with work right now.
Cravath=elite. |

Date: November 7th, 2009 11:47 AM Author: diverse parlor mother I am working for a think tank for half the year and plan on travelling for the remainder. Any ideas for good trips? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1131861&forum_id=2#13204619) |

Date: November 7th, 2009 12:53 PM Author: rambunctious ivory tank Best Buy guy here. First, thanks for encouraging me to relax. I needed that.
Trip-wise: SOUTHEAST ASIA. Hell of a good time and can be as cheap or expensive as you desire. I spent six weeks glam-packing around--e.g., Air Asia flights instead of lousy buses--and met a ton of cool doods along the way. Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, China. If you're really ambitious, close it up with a trip to Beijing and then hop on the Trans-Mongolian Railroad all the way to western Russia and come back to the U.S. via Europe. |

Date: November 7th, 2009 11:40 AM Author: rambunctious ivory tank In light of this, I have a related question. I'm a 2L who will be summering at two particularly healthy firms in 2010. Should I buy a flat-screen TV, Xbox 360, and this stellar video game, instead of trying to keep my grades up for... I don't know... a clerkship opportunity? It seems like Bioshock would be more exciting.
tyia. |

Date: November 7th, 2009 11:45 AM Author: diverse parlor mother If you are summering at a V10, go for the TV and Xbox dood. The V10 is immune from ITE and will make full time offers to the entire summer class. Your grades don't matter anymore, so enjoy your free time.

|
Date: November 7th, 2009 11:48 AM Author: rambunctious ivory tank Only thing stopping me from driving to Best Buy right fuckin' now is the prospect of a COA clerkship, where 2L grades do matter.
Ugh, why do I have to jump through every hoop that comes my way? |

Date: December 14th, 2009 7:51 PM Author: sadistic yarmulke This is terrible advice in any economy, and it's even worse ITE. First, you will have plenty of time to play video games during (1) xmas breaks, (2) the time after your 2L summer and before 3L year starts, (3) the summer when you're studying for the bar, and (4) after you take the bar. So you don't need to do it now. Second, a COA clerkship (and the great grades that are needed to get one) opens a lot of doors, especially the doors that you will be looking at after 2-3 years of biglaw (AUSA, in house jobs, etc.). And, finally, even V10 firms are not immune to the recession. In sum, don't be an idiot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1131861&forum_id=2#13551213) |

And I'm making about 2k per week. |

On the off chance that this isn't flame, why would you go back to Cravath when you make over 100k at a 9-5 low stress job? |
|
Date: December 15th, 2009 5:52 PM Author: diverse parlor mother Hey moron, can you read? I'm getting an 80k stipend from Cravath + a small salary from a think tank. This brings me just over 100k for the year, taking into account my travel period from April-September.
Man, you are fucking retarded. |

Catching up with people I've been neglecting for the past 3 years; picking up as many chicks as I can; getting drunk almost every night; smoking a shitload of good weed; playing all the great video games that came out while I was slaving away in LS; and seeing movies whenever I want.
Going to nap now so I have energy for tonight. Headed to a comedy show and then out drinking. |

Get Left for Dead 2 when it comes out this month. |

Date: November 7th, 2009 7:14 PM Author: diverse parlor mother Thanks. Attended a T3; top 1/3.
What's this Left for Dead about? FPS? I'm still working my way through Mass Effect and Bioshock--two games I neglected to buy during LS. Will continue to work through the other great games of this gen. |

I am able to save every penny Cravath is giving me and am using the salary from the think tank to cover my immediate expenses (e.g., rent, cable, new xbox games, weed, etc...).
About to spark up a joint and would be happy to take questions. |
