I really enjoyed watching every minute of this video... Thanks for sharing this awesome video 🙏🏼
I enjoy your videos! Thanks!
Please make a video on law school essentials/school supplies for clueless incoming 1Ls!
Ok! Coming soon :)
I second this--especially for incoming Cornell 1Ls pls :)
This look quite exciting...congratulations
When it came to housing how did you go about finding it or did the firm have a relocation specialist?
Hey, do you mind sharing what the interview was like? I'm a junior in college and I applied for an emergency management internship here and I just got asked for an interview so I'm pretty nervous
Weird question but where did you get that white button-up, I’ve been looking for a similar one 😭. Love your vids!
Haha it’s from Uniqlo!
If possible can you compare and contrast your experience in big law vs in software engineering/ development.
She's not smart enough
@@stephenpope578? Lol
I hope this isn't intrusive but what firm are you currently working for? It appears to have a good work environment, and I'd like to consider...
My firm asked us all not to affiliate ourselves with them on social media (understandably). But there are a ton of places online where people discuss all of the firms reputations (TLS, Reddit etc)!
@@GabrielleNoelle2 know where you're at but won't say. Congrats, good place to start. Are you general lit or patent?
@@gregorysefian4275 Lol yeh, it literally says it on the mug 😂Firm name ends with "Puke." Jk, I'm just jelly we're a good 30 places down the Vault 😂
You weren't lucky assuming your focus was patent lit. With a software eng background Biglaw patent lit is very achievable. If your focus is something else then ya, especially 1L it is very luck dependent.
I explicitly said I wasn’t interested in patent lit and did no IP this summer! My program was a generalist one
@@GabrielleNoelle2 then you're at somewhere very good tho it wouldn't have been best for patent stuff if that had been what you wanted. I wouldn't knock it completely though. A lot of our summers had the same impression as you going in and did a complete 180 after trying patent lit. Some of the cases/work is pretty cool. Especially tech side
Mam how much do you earn now as a big law associate? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
The market rate for first year associates now is $215,000.
@@jacqueline716 is it pretax or post tax salary? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
@@pikusarker1359 The $215,000 for first year associates is pre-tax. You can also get a $20,000 bonus at the end of the year so potentially a total of $235,000 pre-tax. After tax, that's maybe $11,000 per month (depending on what state you live in).

Why do summers create channels as if their experience matters?
The world has too many lawyers….you Should have went for something STEM.. They are dying for programmers and IT people right now. To the point where they are knocking on peoples doors with 250k.
I actually worked at a reputable/well-known software company and was paid less than what I'll be paid as a lawyer. I also hated it :) True, there are many lawyers, but I'm going into NY BigLaw which is different. I speak about the salary scale in my video on what I spend in a month.
I have a Physics degree and two graduate EE and CS degrees from a top eng school... and still ended up in law. The STEM background can be very relevant and there are not nearly enough attorneys with it. On a side note there is no supply shortage in EECS.... I have friends with PhDs that make 1/2 what I do or can't find a comparable job to mine. You do realize most tech companies were laying people off recently too right?
I'm so tired of this stereotype; STEM is totally over glorified. It's the equivalent of telling a doctor they'd be better off as programmer making more money because of all time they spent in school. You can't really tell that to someone who is pursuing something they love. The grass is always greener and this idea that you'd be so much better off with x degree sounds kind of silly to someone with a job waiting for them in a field they truly care about. There is a shortage of lawyers who are truly passionate about what they do. Also, there is an ageism problem that exists in many stem fields doesn't with law. If anything, experienced lawyers are sought after.
@@jarkjarkerson1991 I agree, you don't really see people talking about the downsides of tech and why people tend to change jobs in the industry every 2-3 years. Every industry has it's pros and cons, the pros of the tech industry are just way more visible.
Lmao first year big law associates make more than that with opportunities for salary increases every year. Not everyone wants to do stem
