[quote=Anonymous]That's the spirit, OP! And be very grateful to your parents/support system. You may never know, not starting out in biglaw might be a blessing in disguise. But iff getting into biglaw and becoming partner is in fact your endgame, there is not much anecdotal evidence in your favor. However, I do know of one person who started out unemployed and hung his own shingle, got the short end of his stick by his partner/mentor, somehow clawed his way and became very successful in his field (M&A), got into Jones Day as a partner mid-career with his book of business, and his now a managing partner at a V50. He always boasts to his mentees how he walks down the office corridor and see plaques of his associates who are graduated from Harvard and the likes while he was just from a lowly T50. I know these stories are rare, but keep your head up and as long as you keep on soaking up experience or knowledge, you'll be fine. [/quote]
