That diarrhea hitting while presenting<<<
Hi everyone - ex-big law here (one year), and since then I have been at a boutique securities law firm out of NJ/NY. No billable requirements where I’m at and deal flow is decent enough (most weeks I’m billing 35/45 hours). They do not pay market. MSK (Mitchell Silberberg and Knupp) reached out to me and may be getting ready to make an offer after two rounds of interviews. Has anyone heard how their capital markets group is? Any tips or recommendations? Thanks!

I hide very little about myself anymore. I don’t have the energy for that game.
Why is this even a question
Unless I accidentally slip up and say no cap about something.
I understand why someone would but personally after putting so much into learning how to do the job, I definitely don’t have the energy to also play down any parts of myself to assimilate. I’ve actually found that people appreciate the authenticity. I keep it strictly business with the ones who don’t.
Why would knowledge of hip hop be something you need to hide? I don’t have any knowledge of hip hop but I’m an open book. I probably reveal too much that they don’t want to know, rather than hide anything.
Er. I play Korean hiphop in my office while drafting briefs/submissions.
Are we supposed to hide our taste/preference in music?
Well I play w/e in my AirPods….
I’d be upset if you did
I do not broadcast it at least, I guess it would depend on the firm & colleague for me
It depends…
No

No but there is like 0 opportunity for me to share it (bc nobody else seems to be into it)

Is… is this a thing that frequently comes up and you don’t know how to respond??

Then don’t tell anyone? You can keep some things just to yourself, and lie and say you listen to Taylor Swift, or Steely Dan, or whatever Wypipo listen to.
Absolutely not. I’m also an open book tho.

Idk. I am a 30 year old man telling people my music taste is that of a basic Valley girl. I am not ashamed. I like what I like. Just own it mate.
