[quote="nazar"]...If you applied for work with my firm (assuming that you have have JD from the worst law school in the country), they start you somewhere around 100,000 – 120,000 + bonus. Also, they would hire you instantly.
Really, even from the worst school??? Why is that? And why would they hire me instantly? (I am not trying to be rude/sarcastic or anything, just want to have a clear picture). I mean, I skimmed through all those twenty-some-odd pages of this topic here and you guys emphasize how important is to get in to a good school...
>However, it’s a plaintiff’s firm, you’ll have to work around 60 hours a week.
Nope, I am not that dedicated...
>On the other hand, you may work for the defense. Starting salary is very similar, >however, with one major difference - 45 hours a week (top).
So, why do defense attorneys have to work less hours...? Is it easier than to be in a plaintiff's firm...?
Thanks, Nazar.
