Pretty much it's about just wanting to succeed at *something*, and convincing yourself that you're a supersmart badass because you're doing well in biglaw.

They make millions and are huge in their field, and they sit at their desks or stomp through airports saying, "Fuck, how much longer do I have to do this."
And the answer is usually: until they die. Because they live in MFH and have another home or two and private school and their bank stock tanked. |

My old firm was a revolving door. I still know a 4th year that has been unable to lateral. He has been looking for the past 2 years. He constantly talks about just returning to his previous career, but he got golden handcuffs pwned. |
