Think back to lawl school. I’d bet that 10 years out more than 50% of your classmates have dropped out to pursue other interests/careers, or they have gone in-house where they no longer do anything remotely legal.

How is going in-house not doing anything remotely legal? I have calls with the SEC and the OCC today. That's as legal as shit gets.

Most in-house lawyers just go to meetings, draw up powerpoints, go to lunch at an ACC event where they look for their next gig, come back to the office, have a coffee, get a call from the daycare, and then rush out to go take care of some child care emergency.

Law manages to be both boring and stressful at the same time. Combined with the fact that it's a 24/7 job, it's a wonder that anyone is still doing it ten years out.

Prelaw students should be told what law really is: reading the most boring, 20+ page document you can imagine in order to understand its minutiae and then having a pop quiz on the document where being wrong means malpractice. Repeat 60 or so hours per week . That's it.

Have you LOOKED at xo? We don't. That's the simple answer.

I'm only doing this because I have young kids. I'm trying to provide them with decent lives and I'm saving money along the way. As soon as I save enough I'm going to try and start a business and do something enjoyable that actually creates value for people. Right now, every day is nearly suicide inducing.

That said, if you'd like to hasten my escape from the law, I would be forever grateful.

Pretty sure the bigger problem with the profession is just the low as fuck comp. Doing shitlaw for 120k a year for life is horrendous given the stress. If it paid $250k it would be another story but running around covering motions in 5 different counties for Geico and barely making 6 figures for the pleasure is insane. I would sooner flip burgers for minimum wage.

i don’t think these types of corporate jobs are easily attainable for the type of people that fall into the shitlaw grist mill. i suspect they are maxing out their income potential and are also satisfied with the “prestige” of law.

I see partners all the time with books or business that seem incomprehensible. They’re dull, in poor health, and unimpressive in writing and speaking. I’m convinced if you just last long enough, you’ll get clients by default because you’re competition winnows.
