I scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT. Accepted or waitlisted at every law school in the top 14 except 1-3. I can't tell anyone because I'm afraid they would let me go early if they found out I was leaving anyway. I am dying trying to choose between schools. Do I choose a higher ranked school or one that will enable me to graduate with significantly less debt? I can also afford to buy my first house if I go to any school outside of NY or Chicago.
If I go big law, it doesn't matter which school I go to, I'll come out earning the same, but what if I want to go internal council or consulting again, does school rank/brand matter?
You need to map the firms that recruit, the salaries versus school, living costs and fees - that’ll help you decide
I’m attracted to a fellow colleague, she’s an amazing woman. we would grab drinks after work and catch-up. There’s something different about her. She’s talkative, but not the typical outgoing girls that talk nonstop, my convos with her are meaningful, she’s the type that opens up selectively. I caught a glimpse of her wild side at a party one time.... right when you think you know it all, I learn another interesting thing about her. wishing we met at different circumstances. Attractive and classy, one of a kind.
Like a flower I don’t want to taint .... idk how I feel or how to proceed. Part of me doesn’t want to ruin what we have going on...🤦🏼🤷🏼♂️
P13, oh wow, sounds like an exciting story 😯
IM GAY
Hope you get there
I'm leaving the Firm!
I'm interviewing at McK lol
I am depressed! Deeply. No one knows and I don’t think anyone even suspects it!
Same!
I have working like 20-30h per week for last year and getting paid $175k per year.
I do 15-20h/week and make 130k a year. 50h/week only 3 weeks per year. I automate and delegate most of my work. I use basic English, bullet points, and 3-4 sentences in my emails - so that my clients don’t schedule unnecessary meetings with me.
My wife is pregnant.
We aren't telling friends and family until after the first tests are done
Congrats!!!!

Slept with the client

Are they?
If so, where? Asking for a friend...
In May my girlfriend got pregnant by accident and we weren’t ready for kids so we had an abortion. 6 months later she was diagnosed with cancer and would have had to abort the baby anyway but would have been drastically more traumatic due to being further in the pregnancy. I haven’t told anyone this

Oh dear. Blessings!
I've never been Deloitted to meet anyone. I feel deep shame every day.
I make up everything as I go and it keeps working
Sounds reasonable... I keep telling people that if I don't know the answer I'll make up something that sounds plausible, and they just laugh.... :-D
Bought a house but haven’t told anyone. Planning to surprise the wife on her birthday.
Also I have a son from my girlfriend in college who my wife doesn’t know about it. He’s 12 now - I sometimes go meet him but he knows me as his mom’s college friend.
Bought my gf a 23andMe test and she found her dad so tread lightly there...

I’ve been quietly involved in building a new co for about a year and a half (not consulting) and we just signed a term sheet for monster investment. Once it’s all wrapped I am out of here. No more stressy meetings about scope or deliverable timelines or anally retentive market sizing exercises for some product or service I really don’t care about. Expecting a fair bit of noise on the way out.
What kind of co is it?
Rising Star
I've accepted an offer elsewhere but my start date isn't until May so I have to pretend like nothing changed on my project
Been there. Just coast. And watch it crumble as you leave. #satisfying

I constantly think about ending my life.
Everyone around me thinks I’m very happy and successful, but it’s all I can think about.
Living literally feels like walking across shards of glass every day.
BCG1, please DM me if you want to just talk. Sometimes just talking to a stranger can help. You are not alone.
I have no friends. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
Wtf man, this is such an easy opportunity for you all to connect and be friends??? Send some DMs and make it happen! I have my fair share but I’m always down to hang out with new people. If you’re in LA and wanna hang, drop me a msg.
I hit a $500K net worth earlier this month
I created an S-Corp to lower my tax bill.
Secretly losing weight during the lockdown, and working on changing my job
I was born into wealth, and on the outside my life looks perfect. All of my friends always tell me how lucky I am. What nobody knows is that I’m deeply depressed. Although relatively successful by most people’s standards, my father, who is very successful, always makes digs and passive aggressive comments that make me feel like I’m a disappointment and a failure compared to him. It’s painful AF.
Be kind. Everyone is struggling with something.
I have a ton of friends with similar parents. We created a safe space and openly talk about the struggles and the approaches. We’ve become great friends and go do fun stuff together too at least once a month. It really helps.. please feel free to reach out.
I am patient zero
Marsh, is that you?
I didn’t get the annulment. We are still married
Somebody tell Rachel

I secretly hate working with you, Linda.
Linda knows. She and Karen laugh about you and how much you hate them. They feed on it.
