[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just read that New Republic article on Big Law. Seems like an awful environment to work in. The laid off attorney who was making $200K plus and now making $40K doing criminal defense in a small town said she's had to make life adjustments, but could never go back to Big Law. [b]I also found the business model interesting. I mean, you spend all this time learning to be a lawyer, but are never good at what is necessary to keep the money coming, i.e. cultivating and managing clients. [/b] [/quote] +1000. My dad has his own business, and after watching him I knew I never wanted to do that. Naively, I did not realize that being a partner (or a solo) involves nearly all the same issues. And working as an associate means working for people with management jobs who did not train to be managers and may or may not be good ones.[/quote]
