[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a biglaw lawyer and partner at a top DC firm for many years. I spent most of my time trying to hide from other partners and clients and get some breathing space. I was never interested even remotely in any work that I ever did and could not care less about any of my colleagues or clients. I hated every waking minute of myjob. But I did make a lot of money -- not by biglaw standards but certainly by every reasonable one -- which eased the pain somewhat. Still, I got out as soon as I could.[/quote] Did this only happen after you made partner and realized it was just more of the same along with the added pressure of bringing in business? Because you can’t very easily try to hide from partners as an associate and make partner. Instead you have to make them believe that being like them is your very reason for existing. [/quote]
