We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

But this thread has reignited me to look for a job with a balanced work environment. I am now more determined to find such places where no hierarchies exist at workplace, where you have colleagues and not bosses, where people are compassionate and who understand having a space for yourself, and where you are also taught to transcend your comfort zone and contribute your own way to a workplace.
To youngsters reading this: 70 hours is a joke. Do your 40, go live your life. Your parents are the youngest now they will ever be, your relationships still stand a chance and your back pains haven't set in yet. Hustle and grind but never at a personal cost. Cheers to your generation and thanks from mine.
