Your dot connecting ability and a JD would be very marketable.
Thank you for the compliment. Studying for the LSAT as I type. Also looking at other grad schools too. Looks like one more long course for me, then I will be hitting the books.
As for the paycut. I am guessing First Years will get about 110-120K and go to a performance based, not a billable based bonus system. Works well for those that are willing to work, not so well for those that like to just be on the winning team. Many first years for the top first will still pull 140K+.
Problem is that they are not taking many in. These firms are fighting to survive.
