Date: October 17th, 2006 5:35 PM Author: laughsome obsidian sex offender school cafeteria Ok. Not going to say when I started for my own protection, but I'm a first year at STB.
BEWARE: you are going to work like you've never worked before at this sweatshop. I already hate it. Biggest lie they ever told me was that it had "better hours than the other V5 firms." What utter bullshit: the security guards that work the shift after midnight already know my name.
My classmate warned me about this in law school, but I thought it was just unique with her. Knowing that they only have to pay you that magical $145K, these partners work you like crazy.
Screw big law. Screw my hours. Screw STB. I'll type out the stories later, I'm going to sleep now. |

Date: October 17th, 2006 11:56 PM Author: Hot chestnut idiot lay Can you elaborate more about the kind of work you do? Are the partners nice and helpful despite the long hours? Do you think you're getting something out of those long hours, e.g. developing expertise in cases/matters, or is it mindless busy work that doesn't help you develop your skills at all?

Date: October 17th, 2006 10:50 PM Author: Dark wrinkle exactly. it amazes me that people complain about long hours in NYC biglaw. that's expected. what's not expected, however, is how they treat you during those long hours. some firms can be assholes about getting you to work weekends while at others, the hours may be long but at least you're treated respectfully, which makes staying at the office at 1am that much more bearable.

Date: October 18th, 2006 10:01 AM Author: Ungodly Exhilarant Property Affirmative Action Subject: this is 100% correct it isn't THAT you have to do it... if you go in with the expectation that there will be long hours, it isn't so bad. What sucks is when people are not humane about it (or if they themselves aren't willing to be held to the same standards). Its all about leadership/people skills... I'll go to war for you if I really believe you have my best interests at heart or if its a team effort and I am part of the cause. But when people are pricks about it, it is psychologically 100X harder to take. So, pick your practice groups and your partners/associates wisely. I have and it has made all the difference... in other words, don't f*** the summer up my goofing off, as it pays dividends in the long run.
