An Honest Associate's Advice: Don't Go Into Biglaw?
Why work yourself to death if you'll have no one to share your achievements with in the end?
The hope is that after 8 years, I’ll be made a partner. Until then, the job description basically states that I will be worked to death.
[My greatest fear about the next 8 years is] turning 40 and not having a personal life. Finding out that I’ve gotten where I want to be, but there’s nobody in my life to give a sh*t about where I am or what I’ve done.
