Horse Latitudes

Why you might not want to work in a firm, by O:

The one emotion that seems to pervade our collective consciousness is visceral disappointment. We've done everything we were supposed to do - toiled through college to get into law school, mortgaged our brains to pay tuition, fought our way through the pressure of first year exams, played the recruiting game with pasted smiles, sweated blood over the bar, and sacrificed the remainder of our twenties to bill like maniacs for a few years. Now, we step back to take stock, and realize that none of the late nights, passive aggressive bullshit and salt-in-the-wound debt and has amounted to anything meaningful, and we're trapped in a cycle.
