Date: August 2nd, 2014 3:16 PM Author: floppy fear-inspiring brunch goyim I have seriously resolved to quit this job so many times. Time and time again I end up meeting or hearing about a friend of a friend who is stuck in shitlaw essentially doing the same shit for a quarter my salary (I literally cannot comprehend how people work these hours for 40k), and then feel like an asshole and cannot bring myself to quit.

Date: September 16th, 2014 5:08 PM Author: Out-of-control cyan public bath the happiest lawyers i know are shitlaw criminal defense dudes. it's easy, they have hilarious stories, and low stress/lots of flexibility. they seem to make decent money eventually. i kind of look at them with envy but i'm not ready to try it out yet.

Date: September 16th, 2014 5:21 PM Author: Out-of-control cyan public bath i think the guys i know have a little more support structure around them than you, but fair.
still, they are by far the most relaxed lawyers i know and spend the least amount of time working. most of them are home and not thinking about work by early afternoon every day if they don't have any trial shit happening, which seems rare. it seems like once you are in a position where you are not hustling for clients all the time and have decent staff, that's where the chill lifestyle really sets in. i don't know anything about what it's like if you're less established or really out on your own. |

Date: September 16th, 2014 5:29 PM Author: Diverse big-titted rehab hustling for clients is the most 180 part about shitlaw. There's a lot of stress because there's really no training. I'm at a relatively established shitlaw firm and they rarely give me direction. I stay up at night thinking I committed malpractice on the civil cases I handle.

Date: September 16th, 2014 5:32 PM Author: vivacious preventive strike this is in line with my solo crim law friends. One guy has this exact lifestyle, making six figs and is home by 3pm most days. I'm sure it can be stressful, but he has a good gig. Has hilarious stories, every day is an adventure.
Another friend of mine was at a firm for a long time, got shitcanned, then went solo crim defense. Loves it, says getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to him |
