I'm about to complete my active duty term. Thinking about re-enlisting but to either the army reserve or national guard. Which one has the better benefits and career opportunities in the long run?

Should be a reserve recruiter at the base you are at. Set an appointment and talk to them.

This might be biased but go with the army! hahaha. Kidding aside, you'd have more opportunities in terms of career path with the army. Hope to have you be part of us, bud!

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

I may lose a job opportunity because of my credit history - what can I do?

Started in *May* - Prior to signing everything, I expressed concern to the recruiter about the credit check. Honestly, it’s not great but it’s not terrible. The recruiter told me many times to not sweat it because it the background check was the main thing. And that we could talk through anything on the credit report. Now HR is telling me they may rescind the offer pending review. I’m crushed. What can I do?
