It’s soooo disappointing when a summer makes such a great impression during the interviews…and then when the program starts and they have their first 1-on-1 coffee date with you, it becomes abundantly clear they are NOT here for the “right reasons”
Like, I really need you to be open and honest with me in order for us to give you an offer at the end of all this. I need to know you are looking for long-term professional relationship with the Firm and wont just break up with us after a couple yrs to be a full time influencer. Im looking for someone who is ready for commitment and already knows they want to make partner in 12-15 years.
Seriously, why does it seem like so many young people these days are just going on Biglaw to leverage the platform for clout and become a social media star making “Morning routine of a $235K lawyer” reels and promoting weight loss teas all day? Like, girl, we have GLP now, nobody needs your laxative earl grey.
TLDR: A V69 summer clerkship is supposed to be a classy program. If you wanna be trashy and insincere you shouldve just applied for Love Island, Greenberg Trauig, etc.
