Just sending in an email saying "I resign."
Just finihsed y1, nothing else lined up, still 100k in debt and no savings. I would be moving back in with parents to CA (from NYC), have to take the CA bar, and then find something else.
HLS, top 15%, lit.
Taking advice/questions.

its because youre smart. I bet your intelligence has been a big advantage your whole life, and has made shit easy. in law school, you have to turn it up, but only for one month a semester. that taught you how to work super hard. but you cant keep up a finals-type work ethic in biglaw. more importantly, your intelligence isn't an advantage anymore
others itt have gven good advice: slack. I was just like you, and kinda still am (right down to the prestigious practice group, good substantive work, and partners up the ass). I started working from home more often, saying no to work from partners that weren't my main dudes, telling people I wouldn't have shit done when they wanted, etc. I'm now a 4th year
edit: point is this: you never know how little you can get away with until you try. you never have the balls to try until you realize you don give a fuck and would like to be fired. now that you've come to the realization that you want to be fired, youre free. make the job as chill as you want, and see if you can get away with it. I did, and you might too. remember, partners are pussies and don't want to fire you

Turn down all work possible. Just say no.
Get a recruiter.
Biglaw in California is much better. It is nearly 9-5.

I don't understand this. They are being unreasonable with your hours. Just say, "Hey I can't work until midnight five nights a week. I have a one year old and its not fair to my wife or him" or some shit.
Just subtley but assertively drop a hint at how fucking greedy and unreasonable they are.

A few questions, bro,
Why didn't you go back to ca out of law school?
What kind of jerbs would you look for in ca?

split my 2L summer between NYC/LA. at the time, was (past tense) dating an east coast girl so I thought a few years in NYC would be ok.
fed/state gov, legal services, small law, basically anything but biglaw. No longer care about prestige or having a "career."
