Don't bill more than 2000 hours, volunteer for projects, or stress about the little bs that everyone in biglaw gets so insane about. If you do mediocre work and bill ~2000 hours or even slightly less, they won't fire you until at least year 3 or 4. You can coast til then and just apply to other jobs. Lol at strivers.

Strivers are hard wired. I have 1 foot out the door and it's still VERY IMPORTANT that I remain the GO TO ASSOCIATE.

It is an illness

It is an illness. Now that you recognize it you need to correct it. It's hard to do but you're taking the easy way out. You need to be comfortable in uncomfortable positions. I was the same way.

One thing many people don't know is how many associates miss their hours each year. It's like 30-50% ITE, depending on the firm. If you literally just 2001 hours and avoid being aspie, you are almost certainly going to be an average to above-average associate. At that point, you can last for 8+ years if you so choose.

Miss hours but come reasonably close without being an aspie, and you'll last 3 years EASILY.

said i was busy on a holiday and i wouldnt be able to get to it until the morning. associate gave me the assignment at 2 pm. w/ no warning.

associate immediately told the partner who called me in for a sit down 2 days later. sneered at me and rambled about how it's not a 9-5 job and that it's not really acceptable to "have you going dark on holidays". was literally like a 30 minute meeting. he was also protecting the sr assoc's identity liek he was fucking 007. "wellll I wont name names but uve had some negative feetback recently..."

lol what a hellscape. the day after christmas, 2012, i got in an accident rushing to a coffee shop in 1 foot of snow in my dad's truck to run a redline of a partner's handmark. lost control on a completely ice/snow covered back road and spun out in a lady's front lawn. demolished a plastic garbage can - sent it hurdling like 30 yards across her yard. partner was literally emailing me asking where the fuck was his document while i explained to an old lady why i was the only person on the road during a blizzard and yes here is my card and i am happy 2 pay for any damage revealed to ur lawn once the snow melts.
