not the ones who fall into it by way of dad's company, etc.

from the day he started, did this:

billed 11 hrs m - f

billed 15 hrs total on the weekend, for a cool 70 / week, about 3500 year, repeated for 7 years

pretty much. also, at least decent people skills. even though most of them are raging assholes at the office, they're at least competent handling clients, doing depos if lit, managing a team for corp, negotiating chain of command at the law firm, etc. most aspie biglaw associates completely fail to understand how this factors in.

the also billed substantive hours without a ton of shitpadding, shined on a few projects, and most likely had one or more existing partners take a liking to them beyond their work product for whatever reason.

jesus. 7 years of that. a few days in a row of 9-10 hrs of billing per day makes it very hard to have energy to do anything else - at least for me.

what do you mean by 'playing the game' of firm politics, and what can one do at an early stage to even play a meaningful role in this?

You're about 75% of the way there just for this.

This may make sense if you're in line for a 1 m+ payday as an equity partner. But for a firm whose partners make 175-200k??

Wake up 6am, head to gym

Rage on weights, treadmill while watching CNBC

Home, shower, coffee, Armani

Newspaper on subway

Work at 9

Bengay under eyes to make self angry and motivated

Lotion between fingers to reduce friction while typing

Alpha lunch with fellow alpha potential client

Fly close to the sun to absorb its rays for energy

Reenter atmosphere

Bill, delegate, bill more

Empire build

Dinner at desk while crying quietly

Slap self for momentarily being a pussy

Reapply lotion, Bengay

Home at 11pm

Masturbate to Ronald Reagan's economic policies

Sleep

Repeat

Most impressive partner I've seen is generally in the office from 10-7, but is booked solid during that time; spends a fair amount of time outside the office networking and recruiting; is extremely good about filtering out non-material issues and facilitating deal progress; and seems to know a ton of bankers and accountants.

As far as I can tell, he's reasonably social, very very smart, perfectly focused and aims to work 60 hrs/week.
