[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her plan isn’t awful but to make anywhere near that money she has to do biglaw and it probably follows she will hate biglaw. It’s not really for people who think about their desires and preferences. Your kid seems to think life cares about her wants - I’d fix that first. As a former biglaw senior associate who went in house, I know a lot of PhDs who did patent litigation. The issue is it’s really hard to get hours and most of them were pushed up and out. The only one who made partner was a Harvard PhD who got a JD simultaneously, not later. It’s well known in biglaw PhDs can’t really hack the workload and speed. [/quote] PP here. And FAANG/other good in house jobs won’t touch her without biglaw experience. I’ve heard GCs compare kids who don’t have a biglaw background to practicing medicine without a residency.[/quote]
