BigLaw associates have to bill time for every 6 minutes, so just a coffee or bathroom break actually takes away from billable time. And they have to bill accurately or they can be sanctioned for an ethics violation. I think taking a half day to respond in that environment is reasonable

I recently started dating a guy that works in big law. But, getting to know him more has been challenging. He takes hours and hours to respond to my messages. Like more than half a day. Our relationship is progressing very slowly because he’s a workaholic

It’s getting to the point where I am questioning my relationship with him. Like does he not like me? Or is he truly that busy.

How much do biglaw folks work? Is it really that much?

I didn’t know that. Thanks for letting me know. This helps put things into prespective

Good luck! :)

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?
