[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People with the brilliant suggestion to just go get a government job.  That market has become extremely competitive as well.  OP has zero relevant experience - she's not going to be able to just waltz into the SEC, CFTC, etc. and gets some great experience to then lateral over to Big Law.

She should have taken a leave of absence from law school when she had her son.  She could not have possibly had him at a worse time in her career.[/quote]

totally agree. OP, why do you think the rest of us are having kids in our mid to late 30's?[/quote]

-1  Totally out of line.  OP was asking for job advice, not your judgment on her life choices.  I know several (yes, several!) women who had children during law school.  At least 1 was still able to get a biglaw job.  Do you read DCUM?  Do you see how many women struggle with infertility and problems associated with waiting to have kids, not to mention interrupting your career during your peak working years.[/quote]

I was referring to the fact that people here make painful choices and yes risk infertility to try to balance everything and she just thinks it should come easy. She wants her cake and eat it too. I gave her job advice earlier. She needs to stop being so immature.  I don't have to read DCUM to understand the choices females attorneys make because I am one. Piss off and don't project your own issues onto this.
