[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I'm a first year associate so I guess I qualify as an eager puppy or something, but hell yes I love what I do. Litigation is very mentally satisfying. Yeah the hours are long, but who doesn't work long hours? No matter what profession you're in, people work hard. So I don't mind the long hours too much - I genuinely enjoy the challenge of my work.

And on a more shallow level, a lot about it satisfies my more egotistical side. I love the money I earn, the beautiful office I work in, and the great political connections that my firm has in Washington DC. This is a great place to start a career.[/quote]

This was fun to read. Come back in a couple years . . . let's see your soul then (I also was an eager beaver as a first year biglaw guy, then my soul died)[/quote]

NP here.  The first year's response made me giggle also, but it echos other first years I hear in my office.

I think my soul started dying at the end of my first year, so enjoy the next couple of months  :twisted: [/quote]
