i find it funny that whenever and whatever i’m reading, no matter how interesting or complex it is, if i see the phrase “he is not a serious man” or “serious people” i will immediately play it out in logan roy’s voice.

wanted to share and ask if it happens to others as well? what is that one dialogue for you that makes you think of a scene from succession always, no matter the context

I’m a lawyer that graduated six years ago, practiced for 4 years in litigation (mostly civil suits but sometimes criminal as well). The other two years were spent doing my llm in International Dispute Resolution.This is my work background, and now for my question.

I have been applying to places because I want to restart my legal practice that I left for my master’s. I recently heard back from a corporate law firm that does lots of things, and they have a dispute resolution/environmental law/constitutional law practice as well. The senior lawyer who has invited me for my interview told me she’d be taking me in training for now as they don’t have associate positions available currently. I thought that was fine because I am not very aware of corporate/business/commercial law side. I believe I would have to learn from scratch about basically everything.

I know litigation (finding case laws, drafting paperwork, trial prepping, courtroom stuff) because I have experience in it, but since I have no idea how corporate works, I am unsure what to expect in the interview. Will they ask me whether I want to stick to dispute resolution training or will they ask me questions about commercial or business related cases that I don’t know much about? Where should I do my research to prepare for such an interview and what questions can I be expected to be asked?

I really want to nail this interview because I want to learn. Any and all advice is welcome. Thank you!

I know this dynamic is very common and all, but ugh, all of Pam’s stories make me so sad for her. Imagine this being your proposal story 😭 Pam’s arc is so incredibly realistic and the last episode of the show where she says she wanted to scream at Pam for being less happy than she could have been, is sooo real. And we can all learn from it cause it’s easy to judge a character and even real people accepting such relationships but we all put up with mistreatment from someone. It’s sad because like Pam we can all be happier by simply being a little courageous and standing up for what feels right. Idk, these characters are so authentic to me, especially their progression.
