[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t think $1 million a year is impressive???? I sure do. Most people I know who make that much are working lots of hours and sacrificing time with their families. That’s what people do to make that much money. There are trade offs. [/quote]

No.  Not really.  And most lawyers earn it in very unappetizing ways.  Grinding on documents, or compliance programs or litigation prep.  I feel sorry for the BigLaw parents.  It’s a tough grind. [/quote]

Do you know many big law partners?? Like actual partners, not of counsel or non equity or what have you? They are not doing what you think they’re doing. This is what junior associates do. The ones I know, who earn a lot and are at actual big law firms, do a lot of advisory work, presentations and deal making. I don’t think you have much salient experience. [/quote]

I know the managing partners of the most prominent DC and NY based firms.  They grind.  I know this bc they grind for me.  I don’t need “presentations” as I do the thinking. What I need is massive amounts of data and documents organized, understood and able to be used and I often need it done in hours.  My lawyers and the lawyer parents of the kids at my kids schools are not doing glamorous things all the time, mostly they are grinding.  [/quote]
