What annoys me most about this exchange is her cavalier and flippant attitude to the initial offer. IMO, I think that her attitude has everything to do with her being a well-to-do spoiled brat, who isn't pressed to pay back six-figure law school loans or hustle for her job.
Notwithstanding her credentials, she should have realized that there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of new and existing attorneys that would be GRATEFUL for that position and the SALARY that comes with it.
Her attitude gives the general layperson the impression that all lawyers are "rich and arrogant" a**holes who can't be bothered with "real" work and that she can just jump out there and make that salary on her own.
The truth is, even with the "connections" she had before she made an ass of herself, she would have to hustle to build her solo practice.
I think alot of people should realize that all attorneys aren't rolling in dough and counting stacks of money. A lot more of us are regular, middle class people trying to make an honest living too.
I think she deserves the reputation she built for herself after all of this. What intelligent attorney would do that, knowing that the legal community in any major city is VERY close-knit and something like that would completely screw her for any other interviews? Plus given her national noteriety(sp?), she's scewed herself for finding a big-firm job in virutally every major city! DUMB AZZ
