[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][...] I was constantly required to stay late (11 pm or later) unexpectedly, work weekends, etc. But he could just work until 8 pm every night and one afternoon per weekend and be fine. If your schedule is more like that, and you can do a fair chunk of it from home, then BigLaw might not be bad. But if your schedule will be unpredictable and/or you can't work from home in the evenings, I wouldn't do it. We both eventually left for government and are much, much happier. In BigLaw, I had friends who came in around 7 am and left at 4 or 5 pm sharp every day, then logged hours from home. It required them to set firm boundaries with the partners, but they were able to do it. I had a harder time setting boundaries, but that is me. Might that work for you?[/quote] Exhibits A & B of the insane schedules referred to earlier, IMO (see 1st paragraph above)....[/quote]
