@michael_theodore said: @speightj2004 Big Law ruining relationships due to the workload involved is one assumption I tend to hear often. You certainly need an understanding partner who doesn't expect for you to come home by 5:30 and never ch…

@michael_theodore said: Thanks for this! What are some of the significant big law assumptions that turned out to be more mythical? Hmm, I'm not sure. Give me some assumptions you have and I will tell you if they're true or myth in my experie…
