[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who's been there, done that, I can say that one thing I understood that many new associates don't is that there's a reason they're paying you the big bucks--you are a tool, to be paid handsomely, so whether it's short term or long term, you should do your best to earn that salary while you have the job. [/quote] Part the bargain was that you were a highly paid tool with a miserable life for a few years, and then you went off and did something else. I think OP is saying that the "something else" aint what it used to be. [/quote] That isn't biglaw's issue. Big law didn't create our economic woes, the glut of too many lawyers, etc. Parntership has never been a given. People in all kinds of industries are struggling now with finding/changing jobs--except most of those individuals didn't start out with the benefit of a biglaw salary.[/quote]
