1yr too soon to bail on biglaw?

Post by Old Kanye » Wed Nov 25, 2020 9:02 pm

ust started NYC biglaw. Lifestyle is not for me. Doing litigation. Have a technical background and graduated in the lower third of my class at HYS.

Can I jump to a boutique that has more chill hours? Does it look bad if I leave after only one year?

What do exit options look like at this point in the game? Does one year of doing only litigation constrain me?
