[quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of people I know who've left Big Law are happy to get out. If you make partner, that has some perks, although fewer than you might assume, but the life of an average law firm associate is awful (expected to work long hours constantly, yet largely dependent on more senior lawyers to generate the work) and the vast majority of associates will never make partner. If you do take a Big Law job, it's best to look for a firm that is HQ'd in DC or has a large DC presence. Except for Gibson Dunn and maybe 1-2 other firms, the big NYC and California-based firms look down on their DC outposts and treat the people there like crap. [/quote]
