Naturally, I got in touch with a few recruiters (since corporate work is what I want to do) and I was turned down magnificently by all of them. Some of them using words that pinched. But I understand why so.
I have applied to all the law firms under the sun, from the amarchands to smaller firms and no one has written back yet.
Is there any hope for me to make it in a corporate law firm? I cant even expect high salary, I am willing to work for less. Is this stigma of "gap years" there to stay?
Can anyone suggest strategies? I have made bad choices after bad choices and I would really, really appreciate if someone can help me out here.

Also, what would social life be like if i join as an A0 in some firm? Will the juniors make fun of me?
How can I get in touch with you? I tried leaving my email address here but it didnt pass the moderating standards, any other way to get in touch with you?
