Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.
I have offers in the SDET profile.
Cohesity Inc is providing me MTS and @BlueOptima is providing SDET-1.
Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.
YOE: 2 years
So tell me, how did you land your dream job?

Start looking at the requirements and see if it lines up with what you’re interests are.
Look into what the LSAT is and what it requires, then testing locations, study, take the test, get your score and apply to schools accordingly!
Sign up for a spring and summer 2023 LSAT asap!!
Right now your *only* focus is to get the highest number possible, ignore the noise of people trying to dissuade you from following the dream. Your minimum target should be a 165 (which is doable no matter where you start, I promise, you just have to be willing to do what YOU need to do to get there).
By December, if you decide that you don’t have the energy or desire to put in the work to get your score to a 165 at least on test day, only then should you take a pause.Pause to start thinking about if you’re willing to take on six-figure debt to barely make six figures at the other end of the law school process.
If the answer to that is yes and you do just passionately want to work in the law at all cost, keep going take the test I will circle back around that time.
Feel free to message me for more details or other questions. I’m very passionate about this!! But whatever you do.
LSAT, start studying now. Let’s go!
I’ll play devils advocate and say don’t sign up for anything, which by the way even if you wanted to you can’t because the LSAC has specific opening and closing dates for registration. Anyway, going back to my original point—you should sign up when you feel most confident to take the exam and really have a understanding of the exam. Then and only then should you sign up because anything before that is a waste of your time and resources (unless you’re balling, then by all means do you) spent on an exam in which you don’t feel ready for. However, it’s up to you and now that the LSAC allows score cancellations for any exam, you won’t feel as stuck with your score as I did, unless you decide to keep. Nevertheless, it seems like you have a tribe here with us, should you need anything just post or dm me as well. Good luck future colleague!
@jastalkslaw on Instagram is a great resource for aspiring lawyers
Thank you
Before taking the exam you need to make sure that being a lawyer is what you really want to be. Otherwise you will be wasting your money, time and effort.
It helps, but might not be worth the massive student loans...

Whatever school you pick, make sure you aren’t paying full price. Pick a school in the jurisdiction you want to work in. Have no distractions and make law school your priority. Regarding the LSAT, start studying now and take it 2-3x. I used test masters to study. A private tutor also may be good.
I did not join a structured class and really regret it. I had a hard time staying disciplined. So, if you can afford it, enroll in a prep course or get a tutor - or at least a study partner.
Thank you all so much for your valuable feedback
I’d say drop the money on an LSAT class. It’s at least 75% how much money and time you spend on it. In my Kaplan class, they told us everyone sucks at logic games and is great at reading comprehension, so don’t focus too hard on the logic games (since it’s scaled and everyone will be bad) to the detriment of reading comprehension and logical reasoning.
If you want to join big law… Truth of the matter is, the better school you go to, the more easily you’ll find a job. An average student at a T14 will have an easier time than a great student at a mid ranked school and the best student at a lower ranked school. It shouldn’t be that way and some of us are actively working to change that, but it’s a consideration.
Blueprint prep was great for studying for the LSAT
