I want a rough estimate
If anyone says they do have a life they're lying. Having to work on the weekends is not having a life by any measure. Then you're just a one dimensional individual - which most law firm employees are. They make faces when you talk of hobbies and interests as if they are sins.
Yes, you may tell yourself it fulfills you, but c'mon who are we fooling. If it fulfills you, then work on the weekends, let your associates be. Will you do that ? I doubt, because it only fulfills your bank account. In a corporate set up, no need to work on weekends, it's just greed.
I'm not even talking of personal lives here.
