Re: Discussion of Firms and Life in SF/SV
Honestly, I'm not taking another bar exam, so I may not even BE a lawyer if we move to CA, unless I can get an in-house gig where they really don't care if I'm licensed in CA.
Maybe I'll work for some wine compliance company? Maybe I'll see if Gallo is hiring for their legal department? Maybe I'll take a harvest intern job and get paid jack shit and chase my dream of becoming a winemaker? Who knows? I could live in a tent and be happy at this point, so long as I don't have to write another fucking motion, draft another buy-sell, or revise another purchase agreement.
Long story short, I'm about done being a lawyer. It was fun while it lasted.
Wait, no it wasn't.

I am ready to take the black.

Gallo's in Modesto. FUCK NO.
I swear, if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that liking the product of a company or industry is poorly correlated with liking being employed by said company or industry. I’ve known too many people who were fooled into wasting years of their life at Apple to fall for that shit. |

Didn't know they were in Modesto. O-o
And who says I like Gallo? To be completely honest, California wines, especially mass produced plonk like Gallo puts out, are not my thing. I find OR and WA wines much more balanced.
Shit, maybe Portland is the answer? No bar exam, 1 hour from Willamette Valley, 4 hours from Walla Walla, 1 hour from the beach, 1 hour from the mountains...

no bar, really? I thought everything in Portland was geared to discourage anyone else from moving there.

Pretty much taking the "you give us reciprocity, we'll give you reciprocity" approach.

In other words, "reciprocity." |

Well, yeah, but it started out as a more limited version (WA and ID only).

Apparently the answer is "geared to discourage anyone from California moving there."

Technically part of the Willamette Valley, and more like an hour and a half to beach/mountains. But otherwise, yeah. Great food scene, great beer/wine/artisan booze, and a full-nude, full-bar strip club on just about every corner. Jobs can be scarce, though.
Feel free to pm if you have real stumptown questions.

I fully support anyone who wants to stop being a lawyer. Find something you love and figure out a way to earn money doing it.
