Work isn't so hard. I just work really hard all day. Having dinner, then work until I sleep.

LOL at this being in a recruiting video.

She was literally worked to death.

RIP

You don't understand biglaw. Being able to go home every night and have dinner with your family is a big deal. This video is old though. I think pre-ITE firms were trying to convince people the firm offered balance. I don't know how much they try to sell it now.

This is a fundamental problem with big-law. In the drug game, you end up either dead or in jail. But in big law you either end up dead or addicted to ale.

-Anita L Schick.

True. And that the lie isn't even that your life will be that great.

It would be hilarious to get one of those people who read body language and facial expressions to see if a person is lying to analyze that video. Even to me they look like they are having to force themselves to say the words to the camera.

You're all getting triple the U.S. median income before bonuses, and you're not even expected to work three times as hard. We're talking 50-70ish hours a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Bankers work a lot harder and so do med students, but they whine a lot less about it. Your pay puts you in the richest .27% of people on Earth by income. You're each one of the 16 million richest people alive, but you'd never know from reading this thread. If you don't like what comes along with being a Master of The Universe, leave.

Did you watch the video?

Also, biglaw lawyers aren't even close to being Masters of the Universe, we are even less than the crumbs from the cake.
