AFAICT senator comes from senate + tor, as in, one who performs the actions of a senate, and “senate” comes from Latin “senatus” as in “council of elders”, which in turn comes from the adjective “senex”, meaning old. I’m not seeing senere/senare anywhere, even on Wiktionary?
i’ve decided to do law anyways so the stock market can suck it
and i HATE balatro. CERTIFIED hater. That game gets so much love but it needs more haters. I volunteered.

I didn’t think you were actually being serious when you decided to pivot to a career in law
It is brutally competitive and you will cry
yah ik, but i’m willing to sacrifice my 20s and 30s to retire early. I can rise to the occasion I just don’t usually because I don’t have a reason to

2023 acf nats was awesome because it was for all intents and purposes a rematch of 2014(?) acf nats because the aces on the top two teams went back to school

part of it also is that it’s looking like my parents could both retire with near to nothing and I really can’t bear to see that happen and law is the quickest way to make big big bucks in your 20s

Yeah “senere” was literally only mentioned on the page for “seneo” I think.
It also appears on the conjugation table as the infinitive form, but again the link doesn’t go anywhere.
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/seneo
But my confusion of it coming from “senate” + “-tor” is “-tor” is the suffix of agent nouns which are typically derived from a verb, but there wasn’t an obvious verb for it to have been derived from.
this is why i don’t follow college qb lore
I’m not saying that it’s impossible but there is no guarantee that you will achieve a TC from a top US firm and you should not plan to, but obviously you can aim for that if you want
you cannot fail once and you must do everything absolutely perfectly or you risk jeopardising ever getting a TC from a US firm
ok but 2025 nats was awesome the goats on the winning teams were only in their mid to late 20s this time

I would recommend Kirkland & Ellis because you can make partner at 6 PQE if you’re going to go that route
but also if you don’t overperform at K&E then they’ll just never make you an equity partner and you’ll be stuck as a salaried partner
Is being stuck as a salaried partner at K&E a bad thing? I would say so
You know there’s probably a word for this where we have the agent noun “senator” that’s borrowed from Latin, but there isn’t an English verb to go with that agent noun.
I’ve done pretty extensive research into US law. I have the stats to get into schools that could basically guaruntee me a position in a US biglaw firm at market rate (starting 225,000), and the ability to do good enough there to capitalize on that.
And i’m ngl I don’t care a ton about being an equity partner, I’m not looking for stratosphere money, just enough to retire early and support the people I care about

Marshall girlboss arc? That feels so inspiring
Sometimes I kinda wish I did law
It’s something I believe I can do, and if I wanted to make similar money in finance, there’d be a similar level of grind but without nearly as much of a safety net
I’m aware what the starting rate for a US law firm is. Well if you’re going to go that route, all I can do is wish you good luck. The good news is that if you make it into a US firm and don’t like it, you can pretty easily hop firms anyway, so I don’t think it’s a bad target, but you will 100% cry at multiple points.

I don’t quite know what I’m doing career-wise. I probably should. Grad school I guess
