For those in big law M&A, what are general vibes at your firm (or what have you heard from colleagues at other firms)? Are people significantly overshooting their yearly billables? How many weekends are you working? I feel like I’ve been working almost every weekend and billing a ton this year, so I’m curious whether others are experiencing the same thing at their firms.

M&A is boom or bust and rarely a nice happy medium. That fact is what makes the practice really difficult. Just no way to predict your life.

Oh worse than capM? 80h weeks to 2-3 months now
