[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's good for you. Really. It was enough for me to realize that I wanted to spend my day with my kids doing things important to my family (not my client). [/quote]

I didn't have kids at the time, so save the holier-than-thou atitude for someone else.  I still work in BL and I do have kids now, but it would not have somehow transformed it into a horrible job for me.  It was a horrible day.  Many clients lost people that day.  Part of my job was holding it together for them, and I would do it again[/quote]
Clap clap clap. I was a biglaw partner that day. I had just the Friday before asked the partnership for a drastically reduced work schedule (unheard of at the time at this "top" firm). On Sept 13 my proposal was granted "whole-heartedly."  As much as the excom had hearts, I think there were sincere. Most of the senior partners I saw on 9-11 looked terribly affected by events of the day (and there were a few others who kept the meeting in the conference room going full swing despite the constant sound of ambulances--we overlooked the DC response staging area--and helicopters and more). And you're the one who keeps talking about a horrible job. I liked my job. [/quote]
