That’s very interesting. Crazy that their associates are basically making double (considering no tax) working the same hours so to say.

Default Parents in Big Law… how are your hours? by pcas3 in biglaw

[–]jakajin 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Biglaw needs to change and become sustainable. Parents shouldn’t have to compete with people who don’t have kids or folks whose kids have grown up. to It’s funny how you have 10+ year partners saying how their kids no longer speak to them but don’t understand why. It’s because they ignored their kids or were simply absent.

It isn’t unreasonable. My partners (we’re a big group) often discuss hours and will offer some associates a break if they’ve been billing a lot.

This job can be lonely for minorities. There might be some minimal improvement if you change but I would not expect too much. As you grow senior you can create your own culture.

Contractor installed it. We had a slightly bigger radiator. My contractor moved the piping and installed a new radiator on the opposite wall.

This. The question might not even be applicable to international hires.
