same, I left practice immediately after tc

during tc everyday was a nightmare and was stressed out
also low balled on salary while partners driving their shinning bmw and merc cars to office stroll in at 10am. They didnt bother to keep themselves in loop yet question everything I do.

When I asked questions, I was called names for being stupid and lack initiative. What the hell
is the training for if nobody wants to train and mentor me?

Everyday was a sheer misery. I even cried.
I called it quits immediately after bar.
Mind you, my firm is a decent size type just that everybody only cared about themselves.

The only regret I had was not leaving earlier during TC and cut my losses.


it’s just a modern day form of salvery.

now I joined civil svc as a executive. life is so much easier with emphasize on work life balance. I also had time to date and find someone to settle down with soon.

pay wise also quite decent after you include the bonuses it is actually same as law firms

best part is that people treats you like a fellow human being with respect and dignity

so i disagree with the previous posts that you can earn a lot in law practice only and you must put up with the long hours.

there are many other jobs out there where you can have a comfortable life in terms of money
and stay happy.
