I'm incredibly proud of the Gen Z lot that are now taking up A0-A1 positions in firms for creating actual change that we late millennials couldn't. It took so much out of my life and soul to make Partner at a T1 and now I am envious of the freshers who have the guts to stand up to exploitation and say no. My team has seen improved hours and better management of work expectations ever since we've had to deal with high attrition from freshers who simply refuse to sacrifice their sleep and health for arbitrary deadlines. What was annoying at first has actually led to institutional change that I couldn't make happen in my time.
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.
