Perks and Priorities
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the perks of working for a big law firm. Students are asking about riding around in limos, bonuses, firm retreats…the list goes on and on. And yes, I have to admit, bonuses and firm retreats are a very real part of working at a big firm (not so sure about the limo though). However, I think people get so caught up in the perks they forget about one thing…the actual amount of work and time you put in at a big firm. I can’t stress this enough…some big firm associates literally work around the clock. As an associate, you definitely earn those perks.

I’m not saying working at a big firm is horrible or anything like that; I know lots of associates who love their jobs. However, I guarantee that if you’re there solely for the perks and aren’t interested in the actual work you’re doing, you probably will not last that long.  Because after a couple of years, there’s not a vacation destination or amount of money that will compensate for working 70 hours a week at a job you’re not interested in.
