1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I wanted to known, is it usual for everyone? In which law firm do you work and what are your timings (exit)?
Q2. If you did, then, did you never come across someone bitching about no work life balance?
Q3. If you did, then, did you assume they were over-selling or lying about it?
Q4. Why does hard law firm timings immediately make you regret doing law? There are other avenues you may take still - grad studies in law or otherwise and moving into academia, or maybe writing the civil/judicial service exams, or maybe even trying your hand at practice!
Do any of those but do spare us the moaning. Leave law (firm or generally) if you must, you aren't the second-coming the profession has been waiting on.
People like you promote toxic work culture and who make their juniors life hopeless. You may not have a life but other’s do (outside their law firm). So instead of questioning the question, you should rather speak out about the timings.
Nobody is irreplaceable.

Mantra 1 – Negative Oppression – Amarchand thrives on negative oppression. Take a brilliant mind, oppress it with negativity, constant criticism, uncertainty and transform such brilliance into craven commercial greed.
Unless they make you greedy and tired they will not be able to slave it out at such places for years together.So the toxic culture is to make you hungry and overworking is to tire you to the extent that you stop thinking about life and just keep running the mindless ract race that bodes well for them.Once you stop performing they get rid of you
