I did what he did self-made - nearly a decade before. He would be my junior associate and I would pull him aside and be like that’s not how you network. No, he was doing too much. If you’re confident in who you are and know how far you came then you don’t have to do ish like this. And he didn’t come very far at all - he’s exactly what he should be.I don't know how there are posters in here saying he "went overboard".
This is the mere mortal equivalent of signing to the fukking NBA.
He was right to do his shyt and talk that shyt.
That's hard to do.
Even if he was going to work at his pops firm.
I talk my shyt a lot
I came far as hell, it's not a problem to know how rare you are and how unique your position is.

- Start date
The fact that you don’t think that isn’t bare minimum - respectfully - means you don’t know many successful people or actually impressive people. The average person starts law school 2 years after graduating from college. So the average attorney does what he does. Anyone starting law school in their 30s is considered old. His father owns a firm, so he lived an affluent life and did the bare minimum. The only thing he did was decide to not be a bum. He didn’t go to impressive schools or an impressive law school while having all those opportunities. He did the college and law school equivalent of just continuing to go up to the next grade with a C average. He also graduated in 2019 and was not barred until December 2020 (which means he failed the bar the first time).idk, getting a J.D. don't scream bare minimum to me
This is like when people were hating on Bronny james.
He earned his right to talk that shyt
There is literally nothing impressive about his resume. It’s not even a well-written resume. I would toss that shyt out immediately if someone sent me a resume like that. He didn’t earn any right to talk shyt - I was trying to be nice but now I have to be honest.
got barred, got employed, cmo of his daddy's firm.
question for the law folks, is it typical for associates to job hop from office to office after a year of employment?
The average young attorney leaves their first law firm within 3 years. His resume is poorly written so it’s hard to put a timeline on anything he did. He looks like every job he received was a favor or recommendation. He didn’t accomplish anything based on merit or own his own. He’s weirdly capitalizing “Esq” and most lawyers do not even write “esq” after our names. One job doesn’t have a date. He’s writing weird conversational style sentences instead of highlighting what he did in a concise and well-written matter that shows action. That’s his first impression as a writer and it’s not a good one. The fact that he even posts this on IG is a sign of someone who never went through the actual job market because law is a conservative profession presentation-wise. Firm partners would look down on that.

Well whoa.
1. Just because I think it's impressive to get your JD does not mean I don't know nor am I not adjacent too actually successful people.
TO YOU getting a JD "isn't much" and in your world, I would imagine it is. I'm assuming it's roughly equivalent to get a BS in MechEng
or BS in Electrical Eng in mine. As in, it's enough to get you in the door but not enough to make you the "Real deal" yet.
I'll conceded on that but compared to the vast majority of people and what they accomplish in life, it's objectively, pretty impressive.
2. I kinda don't care what his resume says, the guy is getting work and has been working and is likely doing alright in life.
:edit:
I also know several PHDs related to my day job but they're designing rockets, computer chips for satellites and running flight test organizations.
I'm not sure how that translate to the Law world tho.

resume written like a social media post
State abbrevations not capitalized
"supervising the Law Clerks'" "when attorneys' would appear" has a random apostrophe
an unclosed parenthesis
an incomplete sentence....
good luck with that job search.

I mentioned it in my post earlier, but I’ll second your comments on this. It’s a poorly written resume. No 5 year lawyer should have a 3 page resume. The tone is bad.
And what jumped out at me is that he hasn’t done much substantive work. For those not in the legal field. The “biggest” thing he’s done is be the 2nd chair on 2 relatively low impact cases. The pre-trial and discovery stuff he’s done is about on par with an ambitious intern in a busy office or a really good experienced paralegal

It’s a little unusual, depends on the area of law.
A lot of early career movement comes from attorneys doing a year or two of state and federal clerkships, and then starting at their first law firm.
I have several friends that are on their second or third law firm, but that’s either because of burnout, or because they had issues with management at their previous firms.
Most movement starts by year three, particularly in corporate law - as the partners will have a good idea by that point if they want you as senior associates/that you’re someone seemingly committed to becoming a non-equity partner.
I wouldn’t go that far, there are a lot of attorneys here in the U.S.I don't know how there are posters in here saying he "went overboard".

I graduated from law school in 2021 after taking a year off from undergrad, started at my firm two weeks after taking the bar, passed the bar the first time, and have been litigating ever since.
And I didn’t have any attorneys in my family - he certainly wasn’t an impressive law student, and nothing I’ve seen from his social media antics indicate that he’s an impressive attorney either. Even moreso if his father already had a firm, and he just went to work there afterward. The path was already laid.
One of my buddies from law school started work at his father’s firm immediately after, but he was a magna cum laude graduate in our class, and showed his legal prowess early on.
I’d never seen this kind of shyt talking from a law school graduate before on social media, and I’ve seen several hundred over the last 8 years.idk, getting a J.D. don't scream bare minimum to me

yeah, i meant moreso bullshyttin about his experience as other posters have pointed out that his resume is full of filler, nothing substantial.
