I think first financial quarter of the company since as we approach end of year, they may need to crunch budget to reach perfect profitability numbers for year end. Other metrics matter too, but just my 2 cents.

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life.

Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.
