i dont really think its THAT much money, considering it would take me 70 years to save the money that my s/o will likely inherit...which puts things in perspective. we still get paid SHIT for the type of SHIT that we have to put up with.
God I wish I were born loaded
when people give me the money argument (soo much money) I stare at them blankly and think of them as poors
i just dont want to be dependent on others. I wouldnt mind making 80k with a 9-5.

I seriously have this thought on a daily basis, how I feel like the life and soul is being drained out of me. It's amazing what a couple years of biglaw does to you.
I dont really want to be in a big city for the long term since I want a mansion and land (and not a shitty box apartment)
i'd be happy with 80k in the suburbs in flyover working 9 to 5.

Are there places to work where I wouldnt have to work with complete assholes? I don't mind working around the clock for a few years if so.
Maybe it's just not possible, and that level of stress means that nobody is their "best self" for long.

I feel the same way, also a third year. Always been a laid back, grounded dude who was thankful for all I have. I still understand how ludicrously fortunate I am in the grand scheme of things, but I definitely find myself whining. I hate that.
I think a big part of the demoralization is trying really hard and being mediocre. I am not well suited for a job that consistently places form over substance and attaches massive importance to things that mean nothing. The lack of control over one's life and constant anxiety are worse than the sheer number of hours, which are not always bad.

Are you are engaged to your S/O? If yes and your are in lit, you need to start making moves in anticipation of starting your own firm 5 to 10 years. Your S/O's family can either explicitly bankroll by loaning you money or implicitly bank you by buying you a house. If you are engaged and do transactional work, you need to start leveraging your soon to be in-laws' connections for a sweet in-house job. Almost no one in this day in age has substantial wealth without having connections in industry.
With your middle class background, you may be scrappy. If you have some sales abilities, are not in a T1 city, and your S/O's family has a substantial amount of wealth, you should consider a wealth management position. You could survive managing your S/o's family's money, and leverage their social network to expand. One of my bros did this after burning out in his engineering job, and he is absolutely killing it. Makes ridiculous amounts of money.

Good news, you've almost survived long enough to get the fuck out. If you can back it for four more months, through the end of the year, you'll be a 4th year and there will be exit opps. Your dream job isn't out there waiting for you, but there is a way out.
More good news, once you decide to quit and stop giving a fuck, you will have time to start applying to jobs. Even more good news, it will take at least six months to fire you, and you'll get three months severance, and you don't even have to explain to employers why you're leaving.
But get the fuck out, bro. I left in year 4, and it took about six months to start sleeping normally again and I had a little biglaw Stockholm syndrome, but I can't tell you how much better my life is now. I'm much less of an asshole and I probably put off my first heart attack by 20 years.
