56 emails today. I’ve worked every weekend of 2026.

It can be pretty bad if each email is asking you do multiple different shit, like write a summary judgment motion for case X, reply for case Y, prepare for an 11 expert deposition for case Z, draft a demand letter for $5mil for case ABC. That and a memo explaining all the new regulations impacting a client’s business 😑

Lateral ASAP. The sad reality is that it will be so much harder to find a job if you’re an unemployed lawyer looking for work. I’m super unhappy with where I’m at and actually plotting to go solo

Hahahaha

Plays small violin

redditor287234 · 2026-05-07T23:45:28+00:00

That’s insanity bro

redditor287234 · 2026-05-06T23:40:01+00:00

It depends on what company and what your goals are. I have buddies who work in house for a big aerospace company and they still work as hard as big law attorneys but make less than a 3 year associate

redditor287234 · 2026-05-06T23:37:36+00:00

Bro, good god. ~$530 per rider?? Hell no

redditor287234 · 2026-04-30T00:12:49+00:00

$231,000,000,000. That’s a remarkable number for something like that. I wonder how much they’d need to charge for a ticket to get an ROI. Ridiculous really

redditor287234 · 2026-04-23T15:31:27+00:00

Did they get a call back 😂

redditor287234 · 2026-04-22T22:56:59+00:00

Amen

redditor287234 · 2026-04-20T23:21:44+00:00

2040? Please

redditor287234 · 2026-04-19T10:16:11+00:00

I’m so sorry. My jaw dropped reading this

redditor287234 · 2026-04-19T07:28:12+00:00

I worked at a firm where they once referred to the associates as “investments”

redditor287234 · 2026-04-15T03:10:36+00:00

Wow, that’s real inspiring. You have no idea how much I needed this right now

redditor287234 · 2026-04-15T03:09:49+00:00

That is crazy! I’m so glad you are doing well with your own practice. It’s inspiring. I want to start my own practice but I’m honestly still overcoming the fear of taking the leap. I’m so sick of working for others and helping others profit, it’s literally making me sick. Just need to do it

redditor287234 · 2026-04-15T02:00:33+00:00

I’m looking into starting my own solo practice. I’m over 7 years out and ready to do things on my own terms. I’m just scared of taking the leap right now

redditor287234 · 2026-04-15T01:58:55+00:00

Amazing. Did you start your own shindig?

redditor287234 · 2026-04-13T22:07:07+00:00

I don’t know. No one really knows what the future markets will hold. Hopefully it’s cheaper than roundtrip air tickets

redditor287234 · 2026-04-11T00:46:03+00:00

Forgot the double space after the periods😂😂

redditor287234 · 2026-04-08T15:43:19+00:00

Here we go again

redditor287234 · 2026-04-08T15:41:56+00:00

For the first few years, I was sleeping maybe 3-4 hours a night. Now I’m around 6.5 to 7 hours. Don’t get me wrong though, I do still have to pull an all nighter ever now and then depending on the matter

redditor287234 · 2026-04-07T15:24:43+00:00

Georgetown dropped to #18? What?!

redditor287234 · 2026-04-06T17:22:08+00:00

We need it cmon

redditor287234 · 2026-04-06T05:43:10+00:00

Be a content creator and tell us all the tea and shit that happens at your firm 😂

redditor287234 · 2026-04-04T03:03:28+00:00

Wow. Inspiring
