this is basically the fault of faggot senior associates. in my experience, clients dont care, partners will rarely care. it's one of those things that comes with working with a shithead senior, which unfortunately, most of them are. once youre a mid-level or higher, it's much better.

when you think about it, the hours are only bad because the work is awful. people pull biglaw hours on all sorts of exciting shit all the time, and they love their lives.

biglaw work is mind-numbing, soul-draining bullshit that gets endlessly picked over by psychopaths.

it's not really that bad for a few years. don't get me wrong, it sucks, but for 3X the money you're making and 1.5X the aggravation, it's nothing to really bitch about. the people who hate biglaw the most have usually never worked at a full-time white collar job or anything else demanding. getting chewed out by nebbish little dudes and shrews is not the worst thing in the world. i did 60 hr/week blue collar shit before law school and i think biglaw is a fucking cakewalk.

OP also notoriously flames about everything. recall his bar study threads.

it fucks with your social life, especially relative to law school when you have unbelievable amounts of free time.

but most jobs that pay well shit on your social life. long hours and obligations do that. also having a family fucks up your social life. also pretty much having a lot of shit in your life that is not your social life fucks up your social life.

no offense man, but you sound like a standard first year dude. i felt the same way until i realized virtually everyone my age except the starving artist types or born rich crowd had barely any time to fuck around.

biglaw also feels worse to you because the job follows you home.

listen, you sound like a well-meaning dude, but this is pure horseshit. biglaw is worse in almost everyway, and numerous studies indicate as much. Most people I know, even dudes who had stressful jobs, were not nearly the bitches that even 4-7 years are. the only comparable group is doctors.

doctors are comparable and usually worse. front office banking and many other finance roles are worse (but also greater financial rewards and usually work environment). there are lots of other white collar tracks i could mention but can't really discuss with any real knowledge.

the thing about lawyers going crazy and not dealing well is that the profession attracts neurotic, stressed out, masochistic depressive weirdos in the first place. and for the most part, the profession never lives up to their expectations.

also, everyone feels sorry for themselves the first few years and mostly focuses on the most fucked up senior associates. they see any annoying or unhappy person and specifically think that law made them that way without realizing that most mid-level shitsucker professionals are also miserable and bitter assholes. very few people who work in a high pressure professional environment like most of their coworkers, bosses, or day-to-day routine. for every cool F100 or tech company, there are 100 interchangeable shit companies where everyone feels like they drew the worst hand. law sucks for a number of reasons, but ultimately it's not that bad. go work outdoor construction in chicago for the winter months and get back to me.

I think whether biglaw is torture or merely constantly unpleasant depends almost entirely on your personality type.

Agree that law==bulge banking==medicine for the most part, in terms of stress/shittiness. That leaves a FUCK load of other jobs out there, the vast majority of which do not produce the type of massive turnover/misery that biglaw easily churns out.

Never done construction, so I can't really comment. Physical labor has never seemed that bad to me, however.

the point of biglaw is you can use it to land somewhere else that is going to pay you well, not that it's a sustainable career or some kind of jackpot law school result. this doesn't work that well post-2008, but if you took on significant debt for law school, it's still the best option.

i'm not saying that law doesn't really suck or that biglaw is fun. but i have noticed that the people who are the most tormented by it don't usually have much work history and tend to not know what they want out of the situation.

i also never buy into the "i want to kill myself every day" thing because you can always quit. most everyone now has federal loans so your life isn't ruined by debt. go do something else if it's that painful. another common feature of biglawyers is that everyone loves to complain and imagine that their particular existential nightmare is worse than everyone else.

i mean, i guess just imagine yourself going into any working class bar and then bitching to a group of dudes about how it sucks so bad that you're in the office until 8:00 a lot, and you have to always check your phone, and then your asshole jewy boss was terse with you and made you send out an email. all that bullshit for only what any six of those guys make combined. you will have time to contemplate when the ER dock is removing pool cue splinters from your butthold.

After taxes and col ur only making 2x what they are. If u look at ot as 1.5x pay it gets close to even. Factor opp cost of lawlschl and loans and ur prolly in the hole. Course u have more upside as long as u ignore ur reduced life expectancy. But overall we should look at the bright side.

quit as soon as you can financially make it happen. any job that won't set you up for life is not worth giving up most of your 20s for, not just biglaw. and you're better off getting set up somewhere else at a younger age. senior lit associates who get dumped out after 8 years and have to start actively looking for jobs are the saddest fuckers alive.

but seriously, you take the income hit with a major downgrade, but know your ultimate income trajectory will be much higher than it would be than doing almost anything else you're qualified for. law is an income upgrade for poli sci/liberal arts shitheads, not a 'calling' or a rewarding career.

what kind of work are you actually doing? people complain that it's "soul-crushing" or "mundane" but it's hard to get an idea of what that means

for example, poring over 100+ page contracts consisting of copy-pasted legal gibberish for the one or two things that will fuck you up. or redrafting 50 page memos repeatedly first to satisfy one partner's stupid preferences, then another partner's, then the first partner's again.

still, this doesn't sound much worse than other jobs. i bet what makes it worse is a) more severe consequences for fucking up, and b) just the general type-a personalities of everyone--everyone, you associates too--involved.

Nearly every law student who has the opportunity to go into Biglaw does. Almost all of the OMG PUBLIC INTEREST!!! chicks ended up in Biglaw. People at TTTs would give a nut or two for Biglaw.

you have much much more free time in law school.

BUT in biglaw you do have some weekends where you leave at 5pm on Friday and come back at 9:30 am Monday and don't do a thing in between, and those weekends always felt so much longer than in law school where you always had to read for 4 hours on Sunday and write a weekly seminar homework assignment. but i suppose that is comparing the school year to any random weekend in biglaw, when in reality the school year comprises only 32 weekends. plus i had class for only 3 days for my whole 3L year and didn't do any reading for about 1/3 of my classes. and then again, i also get out of work after 9pm on Friday night like probably once every 3 weeks in biglaw and probaby 50% of weekends have work to do, and in school you were done with classes at like 2pm on Friday and then had a free Friday afternoon, which is probably the greatest feeling in the world. in fact, i forgot how much i loved that feeling FML i take it all back.

these are simply things that are so different. ls is great, it legitimately is a great education. lol biglaw, everyone I know hates it with a passion. Not even like "oh I need to get a new job eventually." Like "every day i wish I were dead/not working here."

Biglaw sucks, but it's bearable unless you are a total pussy. Grit your teeth, make your money, then bail. Nobody wants to hear 26 year old twinks crying about how seniors are so mean and they soooo stressed all the time. Wipe the cum off your mouth and grow the fuck up. You sound like shrews ITT.

Biglaws especially bad for me bc I left a 100k job in low col area for law school (lol just lol).

I'd be making 200k/yr had I not gone to ls so my opportunity cost of law school is worth well over 1 million $$$ (hypothetically salaries of 100, 150, 200 + cost of law school (400k) plus salary differentials in first few years.

It was a hard (read:wrong) choice at the time to go to law school. I just didn't know how wrong.

I at least told myself doing biglaw would open up more windows but literally this life has opened up one window and it's the window in my office and it's staring me down on a daily basis.

I feel like one thing people don't realize is how nearly impossible it is to pay off a big student loan balance in a big law stint. After taxes, you really can only make a dent your first year or two. To pay off 100-150k in 3 years is extremely difficult in a major city. So you'd be working your ass off to get back to square one. Paying off sticker, 4-5 years probably and no one lasts that long.
