[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty obnoxious to criticize OP for what s/he didn't know about the legal market 10 years ago. That was before Howrey, Dewey, the scam blogs, etc. and the industry was damn good at hiding its myriad weaknesses. [/quote]

Whatever...just saying the chronology was a bit off or maybe she was still idealistic.  She was the one who specifically painted a different picture of BigLaw 10 years ago than what those of us there at the time recall first-hand. [/quote]

Op here - ok I accept I was naive. I'm not saving I shouldn't have seen signs but what I knew as a first yr 10 yrs ago is not what a 10th wouldn't have known back then; it's not like first yr biglaw associates are close enough to the process to know anything, that's even true of my junior associates now.[/quote]

Who isn't naive at 22/23/24 when applying for and starting graduate school? Sure, people on the inside might have known, but they certainly weren't volunteering that information when I summered in '05. I don't think you can blame yourself too much, OP. There was virtually no way of knowing that the bottom was about to fall out.[/quote]
