[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People with the brilliant suggestion to just go get a government job.  That market has become extremely competitive as well.  OP has zero relevant experience - she's not going to be able to just waltz into the SEC, CFTC, etc. and gets some great experience to then lateral over to Big Law.

She should have taken a leave of absence from law school when she had her son.  She could not have possibly had him at a worse time in her career.[/quote]

totally agree. OP, why do you think the rest of us are having kids in our mid to late 30's?[/quote]

-1  Totally out of line.  OP was asking for job advice, not your judgment on her life choices.  I know several ([b]yes, several!)[/b] women who had children during law school.  At least 1 was still able to get a biglaw job.  Do you read DCUM? [b] Do you see how many women struggle with infertility and problems associated with waiting to have kids, not to mention interrupting your career during your peak working years.[/quote][/b]
I was referring to the fact that people here make painful choices and yes risk infertility to try to balance everything and she just thinks it should come easy. She wants her cake and eat it too. I gave her job advice earlier. She needs to stop being so immature.  I don't have to read DCUM to understand the choices females attorneys make because I am one. Piss off and don't project your own issues onto this.

Who is projecting their issues other than your lovely self[selves]? [b] How would you feel if you were talking about your problems conceiving and someone told you "Why didn't you just have kids during law school or when you were younger?"[/b]  That person would seem like a total bitch, that's all.  Yes, pp seems unrealistic, but she is obviously not telling us every line of her resume or the whole story here.  If you and the other pps don't have something decent to say, perhaps you don't need to contribute![/quote]

The answer is: YOU are projecting their issues onto this post and I actually offered some insight for the OP (ex: even a small agency is competitive). You are the only one going into hysterics. Therapy might help you (honestly).

P.S. why would it be "selves"??? I made a comment. You went into hysterics and I offered an explanation. [/quote]

It's not really possible for me to be projecting, because I'm lucky and I never had to pay for childcare or have that issue.  I was addressing both you and the other incredibly nasty, judgmental pps who apparently think everyone should wait 20 years to have children or something.  You seem terribly bitter for whatever reason, that's not my problem.  Don't write nasty comments on the internet and then get so infuriated when someone calls you out on it.[/quote]

Who is infuriated other than you? How do I seem bitter? People make choices and she is unwilling to make any at all.  I am sure you think you called me out on something but you really did not. (Where was the calling out?)  I don't think anyone waits 20 years to have kids either.  You did project with your whole "how would you feel if"/  You just seemed to go off on your own personal tangent.  [/quote]

Oh, wait. You think I was "infuriated" because I said "piss off"??? Really? :roll:[/quote]

For a lawyer, you do not seem capable of keeping your cool (piss off indeed).  And yeah, your tone is that of someone who is rather upset.[/quote]
