Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 27th, 2018 11:33 AM Author: Razzmatazz bespoke sweet tailpipe 1. why you think it was a good deal (e.g. 400k 9-5 in house, 900k jr equity partner, etc.) 2. whether it would be a good deal at 300k sticker (really curious if anyone thinks yes) |

lawyers with 8 years of experience working at amazon now are not negotiating salaries above $350K. The ones who worked there 5 years ago negotiated salaries of $225K which ended up being $400K because only $160 of comp is cash and the rest is in amazon stock that went from $350 to $1100. |

I fully acknowledge my path is based on luck and have no advice on how to replicate it other than have no shame and apply to absolutely everything even if you’re not qualified.
I was talking about my boss who was in midlaw and took a big risk and massive pay cut to become the GC of this no name fund. Since earl does RE, it’s not out of the question that he may at some point be approached by a smaller client with this sort of opportunity and I would encourage him to consider it. And since we are friends irl, it’s not like I haven’t talked to him seriously about career path before.

BS. If my computer broke I'd hand it in tomorrow and get a new one handed to me. I have a nice Surface Pro too.
"want a promotion? we'll see who dies or retires or leaves."
Yes, but you can also get a promotion via a new job. And in the meantime you don't hate your life.
"oh and lets have a team meeting at 9 am, 11:30 am, 2 pm and 4 pm."
Team meetings aren't that common but meetings in general are ridiculous. But I notice a lot of this depends on your practice area. Our RE people aren't that awful with meetings. |

I may well have done just as well without the JD and just banking on the STEM M.S., or marginally worse. Long term, I still think the JD will pay off for me but only in light of my answer to 2.
2. No way. I had a $15k/year scholarship back when it was way cheaper too. Going for $300k is just stupid. |

I know some stuff pretty well but would get my ass handed to me if I tried to do complex litigation on my own. Had shit luck with recruiters, been out of school too long for most jobs to consider me without having like at least a $150-200k book of business. Never felt so fucked as I do right now about the future.
2. whether it would be a good deal at 300k sticker (really curious if anyone thinks yes) No. Go to the cheapest best state school you can. $300k is a lot of money. |

2 obviously no. Looking at the outcomes of my law school class now 10+ years out, you have maybe 15-20% who are insanely successful, but half of those people aren’t even lawyers. They are in finance or tech or do other random things. The super successful lawyers are either still poor but have prestige like very high up in justice dept or they have a lot of money like partner at v5, but of course, that means you’re crazy enough to make equity partner there. Median income is prob around $200-$250k. That’s obviously considered successful in the grand scheme of things, but these are smart people. You think they couldn’t get to $200-$250k by 35 without law school if they wanted? And law school was cheaper back then.
Also, of course the people who went into litigation had a lot worse outcomes than others who didn’t.

Date: February 27th, 2018 12:53 PM Author: Sable Aphrodisiac Regret Persian There are a few people who have sold their startups or do VC work in SV. I have no idea what they sold their companies for or what sort of money they make investing, but millions I assume. Richest wagecucks definitely make millions, $1-2m range. They are MD types at KKR etc. There are some people working at hedge funds and boutique banking/PE places and I guess they make anywhere from $500-$1.5m. Hard to tell with those smaller places. There’s an orthopaedic surgeon too. How much does he make? Like $750k? I don’t know about doc salaries. Richest people are all non lawyers.
Richest lawyer is a cravath NY partner. I can see why he made partner there. Hes followed by a Gibson partner. I don’t know if Gibson has an income partner tier or not, so I don’t really know if he’s a real partner or not. Those are the only 2 biglaw partner outcomes. Plenty of in house people at places like google, fb, Amazon, uber etc. many at fortune 100 companies, corporate counsel at like JPM etc. those are all corporate or IP people though.
Average litmo outcome is counsel or “partner” at a place like troutman sanders or Duane Morris or any of those other random firms with tons of offices and shitty work or a random boutique in a high COL city. Also plenty in state and fed govt. These are all former V20 associates. That was the outcome I was headed toward.
Basically, if you want to make millions, don’t go to law school! |

And the thing is, those jobs I got rejected from are all still extremely competitive and filled with HYS/ex biglaw burnouts.
I don’t deserve it and there are no guarantees in life, but I’d be lying if I said this outcome was anything other than amazing. |

Date: February 27th, 2018 12:34 PM Author: trip market mexican not really. Had about $600k of my own business last year, plus a few of my clients got into major litigation, which I got origination on. Then billed about 1900 hours, 1100 was to a client who isn't mine, but who considers me a crucial part of their team. Then I'm on the management committee which pays another $65k.
Key to being a successful transactional lawyer is to add value like you are another business person for your client. I hardly ever focus on legal issues other than the ones that could really fuk my client....otherwise I spend 90% of my time on language and concepts that will mean major $.
So many lawyers don't get that and that's why they don't have any of their own clients and are more or less fungible to other people's clients. |

This is the answer that causes a lot of people to go to law school. They look at their lives and say "well, I do shit I hate every day for much less money, so law school seems not so bad." Honestly, it isn't a bad argument at all. The notion that you would have done something so much more meaningful absent law school is likely flame.
However, these days it isn't sound logic for other reasons. |

Date: February 27th, 2018 12:37 PM Author: trip market mexican I might not have done something more meaningful and satisfying, but I wish I had at least tried.

Date: February 27th, 2018 1:47 PM Author: Claret abusive toilet seat Law school was easily and quantifiably the worst mistake of my life. I paid full sticker for a t14, found law school to be terribly unengaging, got depressed, and today don't even practice law. I gave up three years of my physical prime plus $150k and got situational depression in exchange. Thank god I managed to find decent non-legal employment and now have a career I like.
I recommend LS only to people who have had real world experience with legal practice (e.g., paralegaled in a big firm for a few years) and still think it sounds good. My biggest mistake was just waltzing straight into LS from college without doing any research about what law school or legal practice are like. I found out I hated law only after I was already enrolled. |

Date: February 27th, 2018 2:10 PM Author: Fishy demanding psychic 1. Yes and no. I could have built my company without a law degree but it would have been much more difficult to get into this industry as an outsider without one. I made just north of $2mm cash in the last 3.5 years, and my property I retained over and above that continues to appreciate in value and generate passive income.
I borrowed a total of $40,000 for my entire law degree, and around the same for my undergrad. I serviced the debt for four years after exhausting forbearance options and ultimately paid it all off in a lump sum a few months ago, so that's about $150,000 paid all-in for both degrees plus interest. That's an excellent ROI if you buy into the premise that I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I've accomplished so far without it.

At sticker, even the money wouldn't have made sense - I had a full ride, which made a huge difference. |

If I could do over, I'd just gun for a fed gov jerb straight out of college doing whatever random shit and then essentially never work hard again
OR, I should have worked hard in something I actually care about, e.g., maybe become a veterinarian.

Date: February 28th, 2018 12:02 AM Author: Chest-beating deer antler center My cost for law school was:
$30K/year tuition probably an opportunity cost of $60K/year.
So about a cost of $300K minus about $100K since tuition was covered by my parents.
I was a state university grad, had a BBA in marketing, graduated with a 3.6 GPA. Pretty underwhelming job prospects.
Went to a low 2nd tier LS, on a 161 LSAT.
Now, earning about 250-300K running my own firm (grossing over $600K, at least for now, but things can go either way depending on how laws might affect my practice). It was worth it, but I was close to not even breaking into the legal field. If I failed to do so, things could be very different, and it wouldn't have been worth it at all. I was very fortunate for getting the opportunity that I did, and I can pretty much live anywhere I want (I could shut down my practice, and just freelance as an attorney if I wanted, and still get by). When I started out, I had horrible job prospects, hit by ITE (2008 job market), and graduated LS with a 3.0 GPA. I got my first job because I knew someone who had an opening, and could only afford to pay me $40K in my first year, got ignored/rejected by 100+ firms I sent my resume to. |

Date: February 28th, 2018 12:13 AM Author: Appetizing digit ratio cuckoldry 1) yes. biglaw associate. planned on going to law school for free (the best school to give me a full ride, which ended up being Chicago). but a elderly & eccentric relative said he'd pay my full tuition if I copped HYS. so I copped HYS.
now, he is dead. coincidentally, i got a share of the inheritance when my siblings did not.
this was also important for social reasons, because my branch of the family very badly FLAGGING at academic and vocational achievement and they needed one child with (fake) preftige
also, when I graduated UG, job market not great

2. Yes, but only if you really have no other options and you are going to HYS. Even then, you should try something else for a few years because you are hahafucked at 300k, you will have to be a lawyer for a decade minimum. |

If I could go all the way back to HS/before college I would study something else and not do this again because I'd create a better track. After graduating as a poli sci shithead from a "non-target" school I don't know that I actually could create a better track so would go again.
