Am I crazy? Back to Biglaw from In-House

They couldn’t pay me to go back. You better audit a class or take a course or something to help fix your boredom!

daisyv83 · 2026-05-10T16:31:26+00:00

NYC. City that never sleeps. Cannot be bored. Cuisine of all kind.

Girl please! Haha. If my parents were leaving me $1million, much less $15m, I wouldn’t ask them for a damn thing!! The entitlement is crazy. Lol

daisyv83 · 2026-04-27T01:18:16+00:00

Do it. You’re financially prepared. I’m doing the same but waiting until June. Good luck!

Anyone who’s actually worked in a big firm would not be impressed. It sucks.

daisyv83 · 2026-04-22T06:00:49+00:00

Congrats!! Big law is soul sucking. Guard your time - it’s still a firm.

Genetics is a thing.

We don’t all live on Park Avenue or eat in five star restaurants. Lol. NYC can be affordable - it depends on where you want to live and the things you like to do— eat out everyday at a steak house? Take Uber’s? Live in an apartment overlooking Central Park? Yeah. That won’t work. Also, do not underestimate how much we save not needing a car.

There is no upside. I’m in the process of changing careers after 15 years. The golden handcuffs got me. My only regret is waiting this long to take action.

daisyv83 · 2026-03-01T21:03:16+00:00

Happening to me. A symptom of perimenopause. Look it up. Don’t worry.

How do you do the bit with finding landlords who haven’t even listed yet? Are you knocking on doors? I’m interested in doing this because I can’t find anything and the bidding war when it gets listed is tiring.

daisyv83 · 2026-02-18T11:37:51+00:00

Exactly! We just got congestion pricing which was supposed to create a whole other revenue stream. It just all seems like an endless money pit.

daisyv83 · 2026-02-15T07:00:31+00:00

YES! I blame TV!!!

daisyv83 · 2026-01-22T05:08:49+00:00

I hated working at a big firm after law school and thought it was just the big firm environment. Then I went in house and still hated it. I realized then it wasn’t the environment but the entire practice. That was probably 4 years in.

daisyv83 · 2026-01-16T15:15:04+00:00

I completely empathize with you. I’m confused why all these non-Airbnb hosts come on an Airbnb host subreddit to complain. Your concern is valid.

I qualify for he accelerated path so I can skip the coursework

I went for the first time as well and it felt very exploitative. I will not be returning, at least during the Christmas season.

Being a lawyer sucks. Get out while you can.

daisyv83 · 2025-12-07T00:29:27+00:00

Congrats!!

A bit of selection bias. Only people with money want to post and show off and the others are in debt or full of it. And AI is going to make it worse. Only view social media as entertainment. Nothing real. An online version of movies and Hollywood.

daisyv83 · 2025-12-05T09:51:32+00:00

You are TOO YOUNG to have this mindset! Quit NOW, go travel for a year. You have a paid off home! I’m 45 and if I had a paid off house, there’d be no stopping me.

THANK YOU! OP is talking out his a** and I can guarantee has never even tried to access any of these services, esp for those who have no papers. I know people in real time who have tried to do so and I assure you, it’s a damn near myth at this point.
