3rd year corporate associate at V20. Like the work but don't see a future in this for me. Lots of people got laid off but I managed to hang on. I can see myself starting my own thing...thoughts?

Why should I invest my good years in a profession that will make me work harder as I get more senior. Seems like I should be putting my time into something that will allow me to sit back as I get more senior.

perhaps it is just my firm, but i don't get the impression that you work harder as you get more senior here.

if you actually like the work, you're in the minority, so it makes sense to stay and just wait for the natural attrition to work in your favor.

I mean, I like it for what it is now, but I don't see myself liking this in 3 years from now. I hate working for pissy partners.

Good point. Partners at your firm don't seem to be working harder than everybody else?
