I hate the term "humble brag". Subtle brag makes a lot more sense.

I feel like no one actually understands the meaning of the word humble anymore. Like how the eff did we get to a point where people say "I'm humbled to have just made $10M"? Like nah bro you're prideful and you're bragging, and that's not very humble of you!

That was so rude

Well isn't it "humble brag" an apt term because the person tries to phrase the brag in a way that would make them look humble, but they're actually just bragging. Just look at your linkedin: "I am honored to announce that I graduated Harvard with a 4.0 GPA and have accepted an offer as President of Earth"

Lmao that was a terrible example but I totally agree with your thoughts

I clerked right after law school and I’ve been working in BigLaw since (last 3 years). I’ve always thought career clerking for the right judge would be incredible and I may have the opportunity to do so in the next year. Has anyone gone from BL to career clerk? Interested to hear about others’ experiences and if anyone can advise where I’d likely come in on the JPS with 3 years experience and a year of prior federal clerkship service. Thanks!
