Date: June 4th, 2025 10:13 PM Author: jade forum Many human beings are possessed by an indomitable will to live. They survive years in captivity, tortured by their enemies. Survive terminal illnesses long past the point of medical reason. Endure decades long marriages to third wave feminists and other modern varieties of women. You don’t see how there are a select few who can suspend disbelief and ignore the subtle passage of time in a high-paying job, choosing not to pay attention to everything that’s passing them by and focusing instead on everything they’ll have coming to them when they finally retire?

Date: June 5th, 2025 12:19 AM Author: Multi-colored wrinkle national security agency One thing- it helps a lot if you're one of those people who don't need a lot of sleep and naturally have a lot of mental endurance. I used to play WoW a lot, and whenever a new expansion was released, I would always pull all-nighters and end up as one of the first on my server to reach max level. Not as any kind of a goal, just was the natural way I played.
In times when work gets especially busy, I do sometimes find myself working at home til 3 am or so, getting a few hours of sleep and then doing the same thing the next night. Doesn't really affect me as long as it's not too many weeks in a row like that. |

Even fire drills and other emergencies become routine because you’ve seen literally everything. That makes it a lot less stressful. 3. When you are senior you can have other people do stuff for you. That means you are more in control of own time |

Date: June 5th, 2025 2:36 PM Author: Multi-colored wrinkle national security agency The area I practice in is so narrow that I'd be totally fucked if it suddenly went away. That's both a good and bad side of biglaw. My firm operates at such volume that they can allow my partner and me to handle this tiny area of the law and become quite expert at it. And now I can do my job largely on cruise control, secure in the knowledge that few other lawyers have expertise in this area.
But if I hadn't done a couple of federal clerkships I'd barely have any general practical legal knowledge at all. I try to stay up to speed on the federal stuff in case all this goes away. And also so I can feel like a lawyer at all instead of some narrow legal technician. |
