what should I do? I am miserable, but I don't think I'd be happy being a lawyer in general.

why do you hate biglaw? maybe you can find a law job that doesn't have those aspects.

Think long and hard. You'll never get back in after you leave. And if you do leave, get something else lined up first.

1. Ironically, for non-ny, you state more hours than the post above.

2. I assumed 160k is NY, but i guess thats not always the case.

Just stop doing any work. It will take them a while to notice and actually push you out.

Then go do something more lulzy.

do what i did:

find another job. then tell your new job you'll start in two months. then, stop doing biglaw work. it'll take 2 months for them to figure out (probably longer) you're not doing anything and then leave.
