You don’t get a book of business in BigLaw until you end up partner.

Guess I just learned me something

Wheeling isn’t that bad, just met w/ this fine older Black judge from there.
You’ll be absolutely fine, get those big lit or M&A cases on your CV, pick up that bonus, pay off everything, and lateral in a few years, or go to a FedClerkship, then take the $150k bonus and hit DC/NY.

Don’t listen to people thatve never been there before, it’s an opportunity you should absolutely exploit.

you met one black person from there so that means its cool?

wheeling

There's a major law firm with an office there? I'm shocked. From what I remember driving through it looked like a post industrial wasteland where the local Family Dollar was the biggest employer.

Lol I've been to WV and I thought it was gonna be super racist, but the white folks there were super respectful. You're definitely going to see a lot of white dudes in hunting gear with that hillbilly look in WV...but it's okay if you have a high tolerance for boredom.

Move to West Virginia brehs

That is literally cac central

Man based on your threads complaining about school. I’d say no, you probably be scared all the time and make more terrible threads.

Congratulations on graduating.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Do it.

I’ve been to Morgantown, and actually had a good time. Plus, there are black people in the state; quite a few actually. There’s a couple of HBCUs in the state.

It’s only for the summer.

Summer job, that doesn’t seem bad the way time is flying

Just do your job and head home...less communication with people you’ll be ok

I lived there for 2 years while my broad was doing her masters and I felt out of place. Lots of ugly people, drug abuse, and fast food.

what big law or m&a is he going to do in WV??
The unemployment rate is high there. What would his focus be? Tort law and class actions- that's dried up in that area. The only thing going on there is opiod lawsuits against big pharama and doctors over-prescribing. Those will be settled or in the process of settling.

If it’s really a national firm like Davis & Polk or Skadden then just suck it up for the summer and do it. Branding is power and having a national law firm on your resume can set you up for the long term.

enjoy the moonshine and pepperoni rolls that W.Va is famous for.

 

[The M.I.C.]

W. Virginia isn't that bad but it's definitely a change up in environment coming from somewhere like Illinois.

Be a dumbass ignorant cap c00ning buck, brehs. Go to law school and plan your legal career based off white girls "love" black men in a primarily white area, with white sheriffs and white police officers knowing that you're already a target from being the only black lawyer in a 100 mile radius. Risk the start of your legal career by pimping out white girls.
