[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is Darcy from No Monsters, thanks so much to whoever posted about my blog, you really made my day. And by the way, I'm also a former big law associate (I worked as an associate for 3.5 years, until my youngest daughter was 18 months old), my husband is still there. [b]I think it's hard when you first leave to forge a new identity and think of yourself as something other than a former lawyer[/b], so let's all cut butidohavealawdegree some slack. [/quote]

You're kind.  And this is true.  However, it's also true that obsessing over the old identity isn't the best route to forging a new one.

[b]So far, butidohavealawdegree has been about looking backwards on the BigLaw experience.  Even the posts that try to be about her present-day life still find a way to reference the past again and again.  It's all about "what used to be."  This does not make for interesting reading.  In fact, it's pretty annoying.  [/b]

The author reminds me of the friend who swears she's over her ex-boyfriend, but just can't seem to stop talking about him.  Enough already.

I have never posted on this website before, but I came here from butidohavealawdegree.com.  I have been a reader since its inception and really enjoy the blog.  That being said, I am a biglaw attorney and a mom.  So I can really relate to what she writes about.  Also, it is refreshing to see someone writing about the reality of biglaw, because you can't really write about it (without losing your job) until you are out of it.  I hope she continues to reflect on it, and I think a lot of her readers are lawyers or law students who are interested in her perspective on the topic.  Different blogs appeal to different people - maybe hers just isn't for you.  [/quote]
