I'm really not sure why you are both so angry or how you think you have been "treated." I can't give away many details and I have to be vague -- sorry if that makes it difficult, and I get that.

Many posted that there would not be any opportunities, and I discussed recent experiences to redirect the conversation.  Calling me stupid and dismissing my credentials, and telling me I have no idea how things work or how to get clients and I have no book of business so will never get a job -- those are opinions based on your subjective experiences, and I am not responding to them because it does not matter if you do not believe I will get a job at your firm. I am merely noting that there are indeed opportunities for some at some firms, who knows if I will be among them, and I am interested in salary because I am considering whether it makes sense to make such a move from a purely financial perspective. I am not sure why that makes you so defensive. I am not dismissing your experience or knowledge but if there are no opportunities for me at some places, there still may be at others, so that is what I am focusing on here. [/quote]

Accurately pointing out that you are [b]pugilistic and not very sharp [/b]does not make me angry. I assure you I simply was trying to provide you a concise reason you weren't getting what you wanted from this thread. Your assumptions of others' feelings and your reactions to comments (particularly any that didn't reaffirm your goals) point [b]to perhaps an inability to think rationally or a high level of insecurity[/b], or both. I'm not angry when I say this -- [b]maybe a little sad for you [/b]that after 10 years as a professional, you have not developed the wisdom or humility to take advice that might prevent you from making career mistakes.[/quote]

You sound like a frustrated litigator dying to show off your debate skills.  And your ability to use big words and your wonderful "empathy" does not detract from your utter and complete rank jerkiness. This thread obviously triggered some odd need to belittle OP relentlessly and show off your own superiority, which really does not reflect well on your mental state or personal career satisfaction. I think perhaps you should ruminate on that a bit.
