Yeah, its crazy. You think that the thing you are working towards is to become the best lawyer you can be. Then you realize it becomes almost just as important to develop a book of business. I wish they would have taught me these things in law school.
This is so true and a lesson a lot of people learn too late.
Are practice area are you? We are hiring and this is not an expectation 😊
Hiring in almost all transactional practice areas (PE, Funds, M&A, Finance) and other specialist groups.
I'm not sure which firms you are talking to, but all firms have to ask this question sooner than later for conflicts reasons. There's a difference between asking so they can assess conflicts and asking because it's an expectation. Holding it against a fifth year that they don't have a portable book of business when they've otherwise demonstrated an ability to succeed as a practicing lawyer seems crazy.
This is why I went in-house many years ago and never looked back.
