Help! I was headed to the 7th Circle of Hell but took a wrong turn and ended up at Cadwalader! Can anyone tell me how I make it back? I can't stand it here!

Ex Cadwalader associate here. Depends on your practice group of course, but I, and a lot of my friends who left also, miss a lot of things about Cadwalader. It’s really not a bad place as long as you’re not working on a shitty team. Any chance you can move teams?

Agreed as a fellow former associate. I complained about that thinkpad constantly and now I miss it. I complained about everything tbh and miss half of it. Especially that sick health insurance.

Just stick it out for a year or so and you’ll have options. There are worse places.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?
