New York City law firms: factories of soul

[cheers]

New York City law firms: factories of soul destruction. Most miserable people I've ever met in my life.

[recht]

but they are filthy rich that is all that matters

[izaguirre]

Partners are rich, not filthy rich. And that's after 10-12 years of 80-90 hour weeks and relentless ass kissing.

[lavoie]

maybe stbw will break the mold

[Anett]

it's so sad that people bash on lawyers all the time..

[yeckley]

Yup. with offices in bergen cty. NJ too

[havner]

You could have just stopped at NYC and it

[kissling]

money and privilege are very hard *snort*

[silvestro]

Bwahahahaha. $150k a year to work 80 hour weeks in the most backstabbing, brutal office politics environment possible? Yeah, some privilege!

[keen]

$150? mebbe in 1990, try 260 and its like that anywhere, stop being such a pussy

[vette]

Um, first years in NYC are 160k now

[perce]

xst years, sure but by x-x year it's considerably more. And if they pay their dues and make partner, they'll make millions.

[bihn]

I have first years in NYC and we pay more n that x-x which is still poverty level for associates in NYC.
