An interesting observation on L-2 interviews at the Yin Blog.



I ended up going the prosecuting internship route myself. My friends were flying out for interviews in big city firms, while I made peanuts in Muscatine, Iowa.



But then, I was trying cases, not chained to a research room. Thank God.



Because frankly, it's the trial stuff I was good at anyway, and it gave me the confidence I needed to realize my skills were not inextricably tied to the almighty class rank. By the end of the summer I realized I'd never fit in the kind of firm that churns associates for the billable hour. Later I tried it . . . for about six months. I was right. If you can't be yourself in any job, you will eventually hate it no matter how well it pays.
