Might be done with Rolex. Genuinely do not understand how it’s so hard to get the oyster perpetual. The literal base model. Have a sub and Pepsi but in a different country with different AD. The salespeople act like they’re royalty and I need to bow down to them to spend thousands on a piece or attempt to coax me into buying a datejust

Just buy grey. The premium is minimal on an OP (unless you’re trying to get a new color or Tiffany blue). There’s no point in complaining, it’s not going to change.

-yeah the insane irony is that the “cheapest” Rolex ends up being sought after a lot and so it becomes rare and expensive in the grey and used market

The reason it's so hard to get anything is because there's a massive percentage of buyers who won't consider anything except for a Rolex. When demand is higher than supply and ADs can't raise the price themselves, there's no incentive to care about customer experience

When demand is higher than artificial supply

However you got there, at least you’re getting to the right outcome….

How do I know Big-Law is not for me?

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time. I did some small work for two partners and they loved it, so put me on new deals but the mid levels I am staffed with absolutely hate the work I do. One said the work I did was laughable. I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.
