You start off the day by snorting one line of cocaine with paracetamol 500 mg and end it with one whole bottle of Chivas Regal and wonder yourself why the fuck i joined a law firm and then you repeat.
My average day at work (keep in mind that SAs and PAs do the bulk of the work, so this might differ for associates).
7:00 AM - wake up and exercise
7:30 AM to 8:30 AM - get ready, reply to emails pertaining to deliverables of the previous night.
9:15 AM - reach office.
9:30 AM (+- 10 minutes) - I start working post drinking my coffee.
2:00 - 2:20 PM - lunch break; then back to work.
5:30 - 5:45 PM - second coffee break, socialise with colleagues from other teams.
9:00 PM - (mostly virtual) meeting with my partner and PA, status update, plan of action for tomorrow.
9:30 PM - 9:45 PM - pack up, leave.
10:30 PM - reach home, eat dinner
11 PM to 1 AM (2 am on a particularly busy day) - read up on documents for tomorrow, look at drafts / advisory from previous transactions and make a written note of things to be done tomorrow. Any time I am done with work by 12 PM I generally watch Netflix or go for a walk in my residential society.
Where do you even work man? My PA comes around 10 and leaves 9:30 PM. My SA comes even earlier and leaves around 9 PM. I will say that my team is busy round the year, so I guess the experience can vary for different teams and not verticals.
yes it is impossible, people like to think they are batman and can survive on 4 power naps a day, but in reality you will pass out like a baby in a fetal position
