<p>“Can a person so highly qualified still not get a job nowadays in law?”</p>
<p>Basically, yes, because the only thing that matters in BigLaw is whether you have a $2,000,000 book of business.</p>
<p>In law, it’s pretty much Winner-Take-All tournament style.</p>
<p>I left partnership track as a sixth year associate to basically sue insurance companies and the federal government on contingency.</p>
<p>Billing hours is a pain.</p>
