[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or shift to working on legal matters that may be less remunerative but closer to what they enjoy doing[/quote] Wait, you think most DC Big Law partners are not passionate about the substance of their work and don't truly love it? I thought that is why they still work long hours as partners.[/quote] Their “work” at that stage consists of schmoozing 90% of the time to keep a big book of business. Lots of wining & dining potential clients. Golfing, too.[/quote] If that were true -- it would be a great job. That is not close to true. Most firms do not have people who do this 90% of the time. In addition to doing this they need to be utterly brilliant in legal work on average 40-50 hours per week with another 20 for this stuff and 10-15 for some firm management role.[/quote]
