Inflation is making saints of young men! haha
The other people I know in litigation who have not gone independent but have a good WLB work at offices which are really relaxed and prioritise health/WLB over work. Which, in my opinion, is the way things should be. But those offices are rare.
How well litigation is going for you?
I want to switch to litigation from corporate (24 aged) - tired from this desk job.
My end-goal is to have a private practice. Willing to take a pay cut - do you think litigation is doable for a first-generation like me?
I know it's a personal choice, but want to hear your genuine thoughts on litigation. LI seems a bit prejudiced towards litigation.
Those who are in litigation, how are you managing everything?
I need some perspective about how you guys are handling it? People around me are getting married, engaged left right and center. I am in no rush, but ideally...it seems like this is the age to get married. But I feel I will not have any time to give to my family like this at all. Is this sustainable?
