no it's good place to discover your unsung talents and express yourself as an individual. if you require structure and detailed oriented thinking, you should not apply

Is this flame? This guy's been around forever.

The general consensus is that, yes, it's as bad as described.

The answer depends on your thoughts about the Reek/Ramsey Bolton relationship.

It's probably not accurate to speak of experiences as being uniform across firms. I'm sure associates working for the wrong partner on the wrong matter still have hellish lives, even at the lifestyliest big firm. I think there are probably just more "wrong" partners and matters at NYC V10.

The guy is totally correct but he focuses on odd things. Yes, sleep deprivation sucks, but that's really only for the corp kids. What sucks for everybody, across the board, is the fact that the work is mind-numbingly boring that you can't imagine doing the rest of your life, you have no stake in anything to make it more exciting, everyone is a nebbish, risk-averse pussy, you don't really do anything of value so things like comma splices become ever so important, and you can't plan shit because your work comes completely at random ... with the added insult that it doesn't need to be that way, that it's the partner's way of justifying his billing rate to the client. And slowly you too become a nebbish, risk-averse pussy.

The job is not that bad on a day to day basis but the depressed, anxious, disillusioned person you evolve into over time is what on the whole makes it just as bad as he says.

the problem is when it's bad, it's awful, and even when it's not bad, you know it can get bad overnight.
