[quote=Anonymous]As for what it's like to work in big law, imagine that you're paying someone $600-1,000 per hour to work for you. In other words, imagine employing someone who, every time you send them a short email, charges you a minimum of $100 (because a tenth of an hour is the minimum billable amount). Imagine your reaction if the work they do -- at that price -- has any errors, or if their advice goes wrong, or if they aren't available when you want a phone call, or if they don't respond very quickly to an email. That, in a nutshell, is what can make it miserable to be a big law lawyer. You know you can't complain to Best Western when the carpet in the room is dirty. But at the Four Seasons? That front desk had better answer the phone on the first ring. [/quote]
