[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are out, apply elsewhere.  You are exactly the reason that BigLaw doesn't like to hire from government.  You are bitter when you get hours because you don't like when they fall - get over it, that is the job.  You did absolutely nothing to figure out politics - yes, you have to do a bit of recruiting, but that should only happen after you do as much work as possible.  If you are heading out to recruiting events before 9pm when you are low on billables, you aren't fit for the job.  In no way is it too soon to tell, these decisions are usually made within a few weeks.  One bit of not understanding tone or pushback on a deadline for a seemingly grunty project during that time, and you are a goner.

It makes no difference whether blackballing is in the firm's financial interest.  They do it anyway.  If you don't have the chops, they aren't going to invest their time, which is worth way more than your second year salary.[/quote]

To state the obvious, you sound bitter, but that's no excuse for misleading OP.  You're like an ex-wife whose husband cheated, and now want every married woman to suspect an affair.  [/quote]
