Date: May 26th, 2018 9:46 AM Author: big out-of-control partner Posted by Bob F: “As a Cravath associate in the 1980s for nearly 10 years, my ‘low’ was 2,500 hours and my ‘high’ was 3,500. During one nine-month stretch on takeover litigation as the lead associate, I averaged 90 hours a week, and at the end of it worked for 56 hours straight without a break or any sleep, to meet a filing deadline (made by chartering a helicopter to get the papers to court on time). I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. It was the best work possible for a young lawyer, at the best law firm on earth.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3986930&forum_id=2#36130805) |

It might be worth slaving away for two years to earn this label of competence. |
