lol. lehman brothers isn't dead. it's fighting guerilla war in jamaica along with tupac and elvis.

shrugs. those of us who know him knows why, and it's not for some stupid reason like his dad's the managing partner. it's based on merit. up to ya'll if you want to believe or not. i'm not going to produce evidence. but anyways, my original point stands. don't worry too much about your...

marquee's lawyers is the BEST place to work. partner who started it originally was originally the managing partner from either g+t or gadens i think. apparently last year, they asked every interviewee to bring something to the interview to bribe them. one guy brought a goldfish. another...

you'll be surprised how far a little bit of *wink* *wink* will take you :D im kidding. i'm not really at liberty to disclose any more. he's a discreet kind of guy.

i dont want to go into details. but he got lucky. my point is, you don't necesarily need top marks to do well.

dude, you're in your 2nd year. you should be enjoying your life right now. you got plenty of time to worry later. but to answer your question. law firms don't care about your commerce marks as much as law marks. that's not to say they don't care altogether. i'd say it's probably something like...

agreed. it's probably harder and more time consuming. but you get job security and near 100% grad offer. worst you can do is go to the country for a few years and when you get back you get tenure at a state hospital. salary also scales very competitively against law salaries. like my gf, she's...

i just read an article in today's afr about how hard it is to get a clerk/grad position in law this year. apparently this trend's likely to continue into 2010 and 2011. in retrospect, this whole process has been bordering on ridiculous. i wish i had just done med like my parents wanted. blah.

to be honest, i got stumped by that question. but after a good 5 secs of pause, i came up with motivated, committed and dedicated. upon reflection, committed and dedicated means the same thing. one of the reasons why i dont think i got to 2nd round. oh well.

had my interviews marathon today. this is how it went. 1. hdy it was really short. only half an hr. interview was with one hr (lady). very structured. kind of formal. didn't manage to build good rapport. all standard questions except for "give me 3 adjectives that would describe you". don't...

hey thx for the tips. probing questions eh? lol

yes. i was afraid of that. a true legend. but seriously. got him this wed. any tips?

thx for the good lucks and good lucks to ya'll. so frigid what you can tell us abt mr korbel? what's the name of his third cousin's wife's sister?

yeh i just hope i don't get them mixed up in the interviews. interviewer: so what do you know abt the firm? me: blah blah yada yada blah... interviewer: ergh... that's not us. me: :confused: interview: gtfo me: how do you open this window?

my schedule for this week mon: midsem tues: midsem wed: interviews at hdy, corrs and maddocks thurs: nothing, yah! fri: kpmg underoffer thing pretty intense...

hmmm... sounds reasonable. dammit. you're right. maybe i was just unconsciously reassuring myself. better start preparing for the clerk interviews.

thanks. would you take corrs or minters before deloitte/kpmg? tax is pretty good both in salary and career progression once you get masters of tax. im seriously beginning to think abt finance as an option. i think partly because the finance ppl seem much nicer, and make an effort to...

i went to the corrs info evening as well. there were 40 there give or take. but there are 2 nights so i'd say there are abt 80 candidates who made it to the 1st round. corrs said they are taking 15. hmmm... on a brighter note, did the kpmg ac today for corporate finance - m&a. got an offer...

it sucks how you're not getting more bites at the cherry mel. who knows what recruiters are looking for eh? i only got a pass wam and more than my share of fails and still managed to wiggle through to a few interviews, but my mate who's got straight Ds managed to get none. it's weird. i've...

really? i thought it was still structuring work but mostly middle-market deals. how about hours? do you pull the same number of hrs as ibs? i'm assuming less.
