Have sympathy for those of us blindsided by the recession having started in 07... I was fortunate to only have to change cities.
Not "stick"? That would be a breach of contract. Also, no firm here would ever do that; no matter what the economy looks like the big guys are still competing for the top 10% of the class just so that they have a succession strategy, and they don't want the reputation of "this firm might hire you and then change its mind once you've accepted". But yeah, the juniors' bloodbath is universally a concern.
I disagree with Hazad. I go to Arizona State University and am about middle of my class. I landed a summer associate position with a very reputable, local, mid-sized firm. I also work there part-time as a law clerk. Certainly, by grades I should not have gotten the job. I happen to love the firm I'm with.Originally Posted by azlawstudent
I heard that if you complete an LLM at a top law school with a good tax program you are set for life.

I took a few tax classes in law school. I enjoyed them, but they were very difficult, and I didn't do very well in them. I would say accounting knowledge is helpful, but no more so than in many areas of law (eg, business transactions, trust & estates, family law).
