Biglaw Advice: How to Slack
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 28th, 2014 7:53 PM Author: Claret hairraiser cuckoldry Mid level associate in nyc. Want to get out of Biglaw in 1 year, possibly 2 if it takes me that long. How do I start slacking off? I turn down a ton of work but we are busy and I can't fight off everything.
Made my hours this year but have no desire to do that again. Obviously can't go too aggressive since I need to keep this job til I line something else up. But hard to job hunt when you're getting crushed. |

I was on a sprawling antitrust doc review that was so disorganized that nobody told me to stop reviewing documents until half a year later after the case had actually ended. |

In fact, now that I think about it, nobody ever told me to stop reviewing docs -- I learned that the case ended only when I asked about it at some associates' going-away event. |
