[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I hate to say it but it sounds like you've made so many career moves that your law school's reputation and GPA are pretty much irrelevant at this point. I would say that the fact that it took you so many hops skips and jumps to get to where you are illustrates the difficulty of getting on your feet as a lawyer from a T3-T4 school.[/quote]

totally disagree.  your point of view is the myopic T1 grad's viewpoint, expecting that jobs are going to be handed out like candy and you're entitled to a 6 figure salary out of the gate.  people like OP realize that they aren't going to be handed anything, and they're not to proud to take and invest in the job in front of them. that's pretty much the way to succeed in any kind of career! I find that T1 law grads can be REALLY crippled if things don't go exactly as planned, or if they don't manage to acclimate to firm life and can't find an exit.  they seem to have very little resiliancy or ability to think about their law careers outside of the extremely rigid "prestige" paths they think are obligatory/deserved (2L summer, fed clerkship, law firm job.)
