Guess I’m not the only lawyer who has watched Squid Game lately.

Watching the first two episodes made me start drafting my resignation letter. This series is so accurate also for biglaw.

Particularly touching was the scene where they could vote over getting out safely, but without money, or continue ahead with their life on the line in pursuit of the ultimate prize.

We live in a world where safety, family and happiness loses out to money and the quest for self-realization. I’m getting out.

My wife and I both work in Big Law and I'm thinking about divorcing her.



That way we can get remarried and take a 3 week honeymoon; I think we both could use the break.

I recently started at a new firm (my 1st big law position though I've practice 6+ yrs) and I was told today that I have been scheduled for a 1:1 meeting with the managing partner tomorrow. I am in family law dept & have been told this is an opportunity to ask questions. Any suggestions for Qs I should ask? The managing partner is not a FL atty so I'm struggling. Firm has committees, path to partner etc so I'm thinking that angle but this dynamic is new to me so any guidance would be appreciated

What practice group is the “easiest”? Easiest in learning curve, easiest in day to day, easiest to understand, easiest to be interested in, easiest work, easiest going interactions, etc.?

What class years do you consider midlevel? 3-4?

Lateraled as a third year from a firm where I was usually the junior person on teams to a firm where I’m fully treated as a midlevel. Some of the work is new to me, my juniors are usually first years whose work needs to be redone and the seniors/partners are entirely unresponsive and/or uninvolved. I am completely overwhelmed. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?
