SF Biglaw hours
I always hear that working at a big firm in NYC means putting up with extremely long hours and often unpredictable schedules. But what about biglaw in San Francisco? What are typical hours over there?

I hear they usually start work in San Fran three hours later than they do in NYC.abacus wrote:I always hear that working at a big firm in NYC means putting up with extremely long hours and often unpredictable schedules. But what about biglaw in San Francisco? What are typical hours over there?

Depends. One V10 firm I know had multiple associates admit to me after receiving an offer that they were on track to bill 2700+ hours last year.

I know for a fact associates at Reed Smith and Quinn SF both put in brutal hours, but I suspect it's not tons worse than biglaw anywhere.
