Are you really that brainwashed that you viscerally react to 'deviant' racist/sexist thought that clashes with your suspiciously homogeneous viewpoints?, because you sound like whiny little bitches, "like OMG, how could I deem to work at a place where the partner looks at, gasp!, demeaning pictures, [Um, because it's a job, and that involves working with people you disagree with even if you (unlike 90% of the population) are apparently hung up on racial/sexual humor.]" -Sorry, just had to get that out.<br /><br />So anyways, I never practiced law beyond clinic work, becoming a software developer instead, but most of my classmates did pursue the law and seem to have successfully transitioned since graduating in the late 90's. <br /><br />I'm curious just what the hell has happened to the profession to warrant such pessimism? As a developer I faced brutal outsourcing in 2002-2005, but that evaporated once it became obvious even to pointy haired bosses that outsourcing software development was an expensive, if not company ending way to "cut" costs, and the fad past, and I was able to quickly pop back into the low six figures.<br /><br />I have to say, the bitterness of several here strongly echoes the arguments I heard against outsourcing in software a few years ago. In that time, the loudest complainers were fundamentally weak programmers who feared competition because they sucked. Quite often these individuals refused to learn new skills (one possibly material difference with practicing law) and simply preferred to make excuses rather than commit themselves to a changing environment. In the end the good had nothing to fear from outsourcing, because "butts in seats" thinking only guarantees failure in the world of software design. (Admittedly, this may be a salient difference: Software must ultimately get the job done in a way which is obvious to the client, so merely billing hours is insufficient). <br /><br />I thought maybe someone could explain why what their doing is not subject to the same market forces? If what you're doing is something that can really be banged out by a strategically shaved monkey (this is a reference to skill, not race), then you might as well be making buggy whips and you need to find another stream in your profession to work. But if there is a qualitative difference, than outsourcing should have only a temporary impact upon the competent at all, unless this is all about billing, which is to say it's all about defrauding the client, which should tell you something: 1. The people who hired you are scum and their clients will eventually figure this out. 2. That an opportunity exists wherein you can strike out on your own with a unique competitive advantage: radically reduced client costs because you won't need to hire the aforementioned room full of strategically shaved monkeys.<br /><br />Now I readily admit that areas with a large H1B/L1 etc. visa immigrant population will be suffering in a recession, because these populations are both desperate and capable of "doing without" in ways that most could not follow, but other than that (presumable temporary) effect, what am I missing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-29431435067415834452010-05-11T23:55:12.831-04:002010-05-11T23:55:12.831-04:00Too many overrated schools...

Compliance overstaff on an antitrust HSR 2nd Request for Fried Frank e.g. or they didn't hire competent doc reviewers with any antitrust experience and Fried Frank "adjusted" so to speak. Special Counsel readied and staffed, but at the last minute it was "busted". Clients now call the shots, there always is a budget, and it is tighter now, if even existent. Clients want to avoid litigation costs, so the threat is used to leverage in negotiations, and taking steps to staff is merely part of the negotiation. At least they should be paying us something when we are readied, and accept something, since impliedly they are using the ramping to staff as a negotiation tool. It is merely the nature of the litigation beast and fiscal/economic concerns driving everything now.

This is mindboggling.<br /><br />The current labor force of 154 million will increase by about 1.8 million over each of the next five years because of ‘newbies’ entering the job market. By 2014, the labor force will be around 163 million. A 5% U-3 (not U-6) unemployment rate would equate to 8.15 million workers without a job.<br /><br />7.55 million jobs will have to be created to reduce the number of job-less workers from today’s 15.7 million to 8.15 million. To accomplish this, there would have to be 125,833 jobs created each and every month over the next five years with no jobs lost.<br /><br />The average monthly job growth over the past 10 years has been about 50,000. The average monthly job growth over the past 20 years has been about 90,000. Keep in mind that the 1990 – 2010 timeframe hosted the biggest bull market and economic expansion in history. Do you see a 1990s and early 2000s bull market around you?<br /><br />Such a bleak employment outlook extending years into the future is an excellent argument for an immigration moratorium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
