2 months into my job at an MBB, am averaging 60-70ish hours on my first project. Worried about my relationship - traveling M-Th and while I’ve been trying to invest 100% of my weekend into meaningful time with my partner (3 years together and just out of school), the time sink work causes has definitely started to bother her. Work isn’t gonna change - any best practices to avoid letting my relationship slip away in the time coming?

So I just had a client tell me their asylum case is fabricated, and can't I help prepare the person for court. My initial reaction, fire the client. I'm not that kind of atty. But I hear so many talk about finding a balance and not turning ppl away bc ultimately they need a defense and who knows what will come up along the way. How would you handle? How do you find the balance btwn not turning clients away but not being unethical?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
