Everything can be repackaged for sale - that's what lawyers do after all. But only up to a point. If you haven't done anything with your life, it'll show.
Thanks all of you for the insights. I will be called in august but I will leave the industry and apply for a BD or account managerial role. I have spoken with a few seniors and I can safely conclude from our conversations that almost the entire legal industry will head towards a general hiring freeze save for a selected few depts from each firm (and those few spots are going to be extremely competitive).

I will read and learn more about BD roles and statistics during this time while I am sending my applications out. Good luck to the rest of you who are looking to leave the industry!
