[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dickinson then Penn. They are second year associate at a Biglaw firm in M&A.  Got out early (6 pm) on Thanksgiving. We saved them a plate and then they had dessert with us.

Total comp this year will be $260k. So we talked about that for 45 minutes and then they took Metro back to their apartment in CityCenterDC.  [/quote]

Sounds miserable.[/quote]

Sounds troll . . . and false.

Big law shuts down Wed-Sun on Thanksgiving week.  Unless there is a deal ------ and if there was -- DC associates would not be working Thanksgiving.

I was in DC Biglaw and worked over several Thanksgivings.  I was able to do so remotely, but ended up sequestering myself in a bedroom at my relatives' houses.  If I was local I might have gone into the office for a quieter work spot.[/quote]

Same here. In the office. Twice. Miserable.[/quote]

I have been in Biglaw for 30 years.  Much of that time as a partner so maybe what I know does not count since I control a lot of the schedule?  But I have never worked over Thanksgiving except for a few hours here and there to set up for Monday.  Could be practice specific -- investigations/white collar and former Fed.  [/quote]

Respectfully, yes, you have. You just don’t remember. You’ve been at it too long.[/quote]
