[QUOTE="Lawgirlxo, post: 5299, member: 191"] I don’t know if we’re on the same page but do you mean this ‘pick me’ kind of ideology. If that’s what you mean, then I agree with you to some extent. It really is very draining to continually sell yourself and I faced this 100% during my vac scheme. I can’t help but think that some people at the firm thought I was not as ‘enthusiastic’ as others on the scheme. For me, it’s not that I was entitled, I just wanted to relax and not feel the need to market myself everyday. Yeah, I do think it kind of puts pressure on some people. If one would ask me, it’s probably why a lot of aspiring lawyers (or professionals) feel the need to share their achievements on LinkedIn (not that it’s bad or that I frown upon it). That said, I still believe that there are some firms that don’t necessarily care about ‘self-commoditisation’. They seem to be those ones that don’t engage in extensive marketing to the talent pool/students. (Just my opinion) Honestly, I don’t even know if what I wrote relates to your question but oh well :) [/QUOTE]
