The pay/perks/benefits are nice. Also a few cuties in the office.

Paycheck. Never not gotten a raise. Also get bonus every year.

Mostly prole-free environment (at least co-workers, plenty of prole secretaries).

The one good thing about billable hours is that it is NBD to run out to a doctor's appointment or haircut if you need to. Can always make it up later.

Get all Jewish holidays off even if not Jewish.

Working on cases that end up in the newspaper is nice compared to working on cases that nobody cares about.

Good employee benefits (health insurance, etc.).

Clients don't haggle over bills.

Support staff can actually be helpful. Have on-site reprographics people, trial support, marketing, etc.

DAT seamless and black car policy.

Business class airfares if going coast to coast.

loved, though?

the only thing i loved about biglaw was the deferment pay/clerk bonus, which is hard to count bc it was something that they gave u for NOT being in biglaw

Generally can make my own schedule. I take two hours at lunch to go to the gym everyday and no one bothers me about it if it doesnt affect my work (it doesnt)

I get to rack up a lot of travel miles in my current role which cuts down on vacation expenses. All travel is business class.

Thats about it

This wasn't something I fully learned and absorded while I was still in biglaw, but it's something I've eventually gained by moving up the ranks at my in-house megacorp gig, and have had many conversations about it with friends who stayed in biglaw and made partner and they report the same feeling. And it actually helps to go in-house and see these big name partners as outside counsel when they are in full ass-kissing mode and you as the customer get to see the discussion evaluating their work and the cost of it.

Another thing good about biglaw is that it’s not a bad network to have and it does give you credibility and have resume value even after you leave, assuming you stick around in a career where things like that matter.
