Are you saying that if a firm deferred SAs a year (which is what they told us would happen) that this isn't reliable? In other words, that there may not be a job waiting for us in a year?

What type of plan Bs are people coming up with??

I can already tell its going to suck first year, just seeing how competitive, complicated and honestly crazy some of the FAs are..when does it get any better? after a few years? partner? never?

43- when you say you can be let go at any time despite hardwork, i'm assuming this applies more to people that have been deferred and haven't started yet or even first years? I was always under the impression that the real uncertainty is the deferral and the time period before you start work - but after you secure the position, begin working, as long as you produce excellent work and give it your all you should be fine. Whereas that same principle doesnt apply to summers?? Or are first/second years under constant threat as well?
