To what extent is this predicament a function of the mismatch between his understanding of the signal sent by the BC brand and BigLaw's understanding of the signal sent by the BC brand?
- maxawaytoolong 16y agoBigLaw in Boston actually hires quite a few BC grads. It's ranked 15 by one of the legal journals, I forget which. It's also very strong in IP and corporate law. It is a feeder school for many "biglaw-esque" IP law firms in Boston and NYC. It's the back up plan of many MIT engineering students who feel like they are underpaid and did not have the foresight to work on wall street during the 2000s.

It's apparently ranked #30 in terms of # of partners at BigLaw firms. It's an objective metric, but I readily admit that it's of unclear significance since it's not weighted for class size and cannot account for interest or lack thereof in BigLaw at these schools.

- carbocation 16y agoGood point - I guess that is the more relevant question. I'm not sure of the answer.
