Here is wisdom you can take to the bank and cash... PHILLY'S ECONOMY IS NEVER COMING BACK. IF YOU INTEND TO WORK HERE AND DON'T HAVE A HUGE BOOK OF BUSINESS, YOU'D BETTER LIKE PLAINTIFF'S WORK, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY REASONABLE LEGAL JOB (Note: Reasonable jobs exclude being a slave at Morgan/Dechert) WHICH WILL PAY YOU OVER $150K AS A YOUNG LAWYER IN THIS TOWN.
Don't believe me? Fine. Go get yer fucking degree from Villanova, assjack. See how much you'll make in 8 years.
And if certain firms in town collapse in the next two years, which is looking more and more probable every day, Philly will be the worst associates' market in the country.
Pennsylvania is dead and I would not hire a young lawyer coming to work in Philly because anyone who does his due diligence should recognize THIS TOWN IS A FUCKING CORPSE.
