[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the many lawyers on the board - did any of you read/post on Autoadmit in the early-mid aughts?  It seems to me like there might be some overlap. [/quote]

Yes. There are times I think half of DCUM are old AA trolls. [/quote]

Yes, it all makes sense now.[/quote]

+1  Many of the former GA, AA and TLS posters are here because &lt;drum roll please&gt; . . . they're now moms and dads still living in the DC area.  There's a lot of big law discussion here because many posters haven't mentally moved on from their "glory days" - i.e. I could have been a big law equity rainmaker, but I went in house for the "lifestyle".  Kinda like former high school football players saying that they could have gone pro if they hadn't blow out their knee.[/quote]

This, plus a lot of the trolling here uses the same tired vernacular from the old law school websites.[/quote]

And many of us who are lawyers have put big law behind us years ago.  We can't go back and get a do-over to try and make partner (and why would we?).  If you're in big law as an associate, "enjoy" it while it lasts (and it won't - you're not special).  If you're a big law partner, focus on your business (notice, I didn't say "job") - you don't need to come here and brag about how much you make (we already know).

Doesn’t it has to last for *some* associates, though?  I mean, people are special and do make partner...[/quote]
