[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a law firm, so I definitely believe it. I don't personally do it, but I see people who do everyday. [/quote] +1 I've been there myself and it's not pleasant, but it's not way out of bounds. Working 9am to 9pm only on weekdays makes 60 hours. Without kid responsibilities, it's not fun but it's not that crazy. Billable hours are actually harder to come by, if you're scrupulous about billing. [/quote] I had a similar experience working those kind of hours in biglaw as a securities lawyer. There was almost no billable work in December and January, only non-billable business development work, so I didn't feel like I could turn down work during the other 10 months because I was always worried about missing my hours.[/quote]
