Date: November 21st, 2017 12:03 AM Author: Pea-brained School Cafeteria It's basically 45-50 hour weeks with like 10 random weekends a year kind of fucked.
Outside of V5 most people don't hit bonus. |
Date: November 21st, 2017 12:04 AM Author: jade cracking nursing home cumskin So why does the whole board whine about this shit and tell people not to go to law school ? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3804301&forum_id=2#34736710) |

Date: November 21st, 2017 12:08 AM Author: Pea-brained School Cafeteria It's self selection. The type of people who tend to become lawyers are the type of people who tend to be miserable people who will never be happy in life.
Be honest with yourself, if you are a happy person and/or generally know how to make yourself happy, BIGLAW probably won't be hell. But, if you are a miserable person anyway you will hate BIGLAW. |

Date: November 21st, 2017 12:13 AM Author: Vivacious laser beams headpube This also rings true. I give juniors work expecting them to do a competent job, but they kill themselves over shit that doesn't matter all the time. It's a personality thing where some people just can't see the big picture and strike that balance (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3804301&forum_id=2#34736767) |

Date: November 21st, 2017 12:18 AM Author: lascivious theatre toaster I imagine there is probably a large subset of naive people who grew up in a bubble and just assumed they would be successful pursing their aspirations because that's what happens when you're smart. Then they realized the only actual jobs in law which don't require bootstrapping are in biglaw, you can't just make the theoretical spacelaw practice of your dreams materialize out of nowhere, and subsequently are thoroughly miserable. Not only to they have to come to terms with the fact that they were an idiot, but now instead of doing what they were "supposed" to do (ie some vague dream) they end up doing some of the most pointless make-GC work that exists and work more hours than all of their non-finance friends (even if the average is less than what xo makes it out to be).

Date: November 21st, 2017 12:18 AM Author: Vibrant chest-beating meetinghouse Its somewhat true, but you're on call 24/7 and you can definitely get fucked.
You can easily luck out and bill 1200 hours a year for a ocuple of years. You can also get fucked and bill 2500 a year. |
|
Date: November 21st, 2017 12:20 AM Author: Pea-brained School Cafeteria Possible. Agreed.
However, let's dispel of the notion that people who bill under bonus get shitcanned immediately. Outside of the top firms you can last 5+ years with 1500 a year. |
