How often do you work weekends?

Very rarely

Totally depends on project load, deadlines, and client base more broadly. Your private equity clients in my experience are more demanding and less respectful of nights and weekends then corporate clients are, generally. I have been through spells where I work every weekend and full days for months on end. I have also been through spells where I want to work on the weekend for months. Generally speaking, I would say one or two weekends a month is a good estimate but that might just mean a couple of hours. Not necessarily full days.

What team do you work in and what's your level? Does it get better as you become more senior?

Every weekend

I’m at a mid size transactional firm. I’m a total night owl and my partners have OK’d me starting the workday at around 11am because I regularly work until midnight or later. I get so much more done after dark! I still get some side eye from other associates, but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Does anyone else here have an unusual work schedule? Curious what adjustments you’ve made to make it work.

Any working mothers in here who loves the company they’re working for? I am thinking about switching firms and need some honest thoughts on companies that doesn’t only say, but actually practice flexibility for work life balance and offers good $$$.

I am a high performer at my current firm but they started questioning working arrangements of folks based on the new members who are huge in-office folks, fast turnover within the team, etc. This wasn’t an issue when I first joined.

As a law student interested in going into the field I’ve seen a lot of negative comments saying that only lawyers who couldn’t get into big law go into PA. Although I know most people try to get into big law initially, it is very competitive and many don’t stay past 2-3 years. You certainly don’t make as much going into PA as a lawyer but the pay is certainly not bad and the WLB is generally much better. Can anyone speak to how they got into PA and if you would rather be working in Big Law
