Date: January 19th, 2026 12:18 AM Author: swashbuckling psychic People seem to ceaselessly bitch about biglaw saying its sucks etc. Find it hard to believe it’s that bad if you are smart, hard working, and somewhat socially well-adjusted especially given comp as outside of PE/IB/MBB/FAGMAN the alternative is to earn shit doing some BS corporate email job. Is it just lazy junior associates who have never worked a job ever after being in daycare for 25 years not being able to cope and flaming out?

Date: January 19th, 2026 9:57 PM Author: racy primrose tanning salon i have a weird CV and have worked all kinds of legal jobs including two stretches of grinding in biglaw lit. i have also been an assistant city attorney, a prosecutor, now i’m solo.
biglaw is not a ton of fun but the people who really bitch about are all younger types who have never had a real job. i have also driven trucks, installed windows, and worked on a paving crew. the worst day of biglaw was like an average day for most of the blue collar jobs i’ve done.
of the law jobs, prosecuting felony crimes was by far the worst grind and the most stressful. you’re in court nonstop, constantly having to respond to motions of varying quality, you’re prepping and coordinating multiple cases for trial every week not knowing what will go, opposing counsel aggressively tries to fuck you over at every step on condensed crim pro timelines, and the judges run the state ragged with the understanding that the ‘office can handle it.’ on top of that, nobody on either side is happy with plea deals and people tend to loathe prosecutors. biglaw stress is nothing compared to prosecuting. i should say the biglaw firms i worked for were not elite by any means so i don’t know what it’s like at the V10 places XO used to worship. |

Date: January 19th, 2026 10:14 PM Author: stimulating mentally impaired headpube pit Big law is infinitely worse than prosecution imo. At least as a prosbro, the “emergencies” are actual (sometimes life or death) emergencies, and if a weekend or evening is ruined, it’s understandable. On the other hand, the number of holidays/weekends I had ruined by a psychopathic partner or GC who made up an emergency (and where they then didn’t look at the work until weeks later) makes me want to strangle somebody.

Date: January 19th, 2026 10:34 PM Author: snowy location If it was merely an issue of the workload and if the actual value of the work product was roughly correlated to the output it’d be fine. It’s the completely performative and imagined/neurosis-fueled obsession about meaningless details as a profession wide cope for the resentment by clients and of clients by lawyers regarding clients frustrations with costs and inefficiency and expectations of 24/7 availability and effort, often not for any real business reason. If you deleted the needless combativeness, dickish gamesmanship around shit like holding drafts until 6 pm Friday to ruin the other side’s weekend, and the degree to which genuinely psychopathic personality types and behaviors are tolerated and frequently rewarded and encouraged, and if firms expected to retain a majority of associates long term instead of expecting and treating them like 90% won’t last 7 years let alone make partner, it would be a very good job. There are exceptions and people who get lucky and land in great situations and have great experiences. But the vast majority are playing a shitty game rigged against them.

Date: January 19th, 2026 10:40 PM Author: tan kink-friendly water buffalo mad-dog skullcap The partner I work for has created one of the cushiest niche specialties I've seen in biglaw. Basically most of our work is just recycling old filings with minor alterations. But we produce a lot of paper so the big corporations we work for just shrug and assume it's worth it. Our bills are a rounding error for them anyway.
There are scams and sweetheart deals scattered all throughout the economy. Some of them exist in biglaw. |
