Lol.
bullied him into hiding his background
Dude. His choice to lie is not down to being "bullied" for having a backstop of more than 99% of people will ever see. His biggest lie was pretending to be a working person who knew anything.
I know a lot of "generationally wealthy" people, and while they - engaged in regular professional jobs like being a lawyer or investment adviser - don't necessarily put it at the tops of their bios, they're definitely not ever "bullied" because of it. The inverse, in fact. But the key point is actually
working.
As for "online," if he had any experience or acumen, "bullying" for having independent money wouldn't be an element.
his firm and legal career
Lol.
he didn't quite accomplish what your normal, run of the mill moderately successful attorney does
He accomplished nothing. More than that, his latest effort to flex his license with a minor speeding ticket resulted in an embarrassing outcome and process (of no-show), which is emblematic of any of his efforts to flex the fact that he passed the bar and pays his yearly dues.
pretend that he made it on his own without help from anyone else. Because in that case, he can at least blame his lack of broader success on not having the proper resources from the start of his race.
What? You can blame anything for anything; doesn't make it a legitimate complaint. But what's the reasonable blame here? And if by "proper resources" you mean brain power and minimal work ethic, okay.
Bottom line with Nick is that he is no kind of lawyer. He doesn't have the brains for it, nor the experience, nor the dig-in-ness required. He passed the bar, and that's it.
Consider other law students who graduated in 2015 (? I think that was his year, but you can substitute 2018 or whatever the actual date if I misrecalled). What are they doing now? If in private practice, they either have a solo rep, are partners in a firm, or are nearly there or looking at other ways to put their credentials to work. If working for a company or government, they're in at some some level (as lawyer or adjacent role, or on the business side) and either moving up or preserving their spot. In all cases in which they claim lawyerness, they're working or have worked. Which is not something Nick can say. Key distinction.
And it's cool if someone doesn't have to work. But if they have no interest in honing their professed craft, they should be honest that it's just an interest or hobby or credential, or at least not lie and try to fake it.
