We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
It's fine to be a fan of one side or the other, but as lawyers you / we should be a little more circumspect about the media spectacle the case actually was and not view it so uncritically like the average US TV watcher / Twitter stan / men's right activist / incel who sees this as vindication that all women are liars and metoo is a sham and women should go back to the kitchen and shut up more.
Will start you off with:
DD is for due diligence.
A0, A1, A2, SA, SA-1, PA, etc are for Associate, Senior Associate, Principal Associate (and the number sometimes means how many years you've been at that level)
Those sure sound a lot like issues of freedom of expression...
Doesn't the US ever learn? The People vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story is worth watching by the way, for those who want to learn more about this style of justice and how to lawyer / get lawyered in it...
Bottom line is: Why the hell do should we care so much about them?
Though y'all really need to stop bandying the 'slave' word about so liberally: it does not mean what you think it means, especially not when you're getting paid decent money and CHOOSE to stay there (rather than, y'know, get hunted down and lynched by sanction of the state when you decide to quit)
Short answer: yes, you will definitely be fine one day, even if it does not seem like it right now and what you're experiencing seems like the most and only important thing in the world right now. With time it becomes possible to deal with any situation, and eventually adapt and find new solutions and opportunities, even if those are not apparent now.
It does not make it much easier now, but sooner or later you will meet more people and your current social bubble will expand and most likely you will also find someone who understands you.
Take care!

If you're concerned and it's been a few weeks or a month, it may be worth following up by email in a non-pushy manner. It's your right to know what they decided and look at it this way: if they were gonna give you a job, you won't put them off with your inquiry. If they were going to reject you, there's nothing worse you can do by following up with them.
If they don't respond after your email, then write them off, they probably wouldn't have been a great place to work at anyway.
