Assuming you guys are not trolling, there's too much whining going on here.

come on la, countless previous batches of lawyers have been through the same old **** and most have eventually moved on to better (not necessarily bigger) things.

just suck it up, and if you cant hack it, quit. nobody is forcing u to stay at gunpoint.

nobody is special or indispensable, especially at the junior associate level, no matter how smart u think you were in school or how many years u got dean's list.

crazy bosses, heavy work loads & unreasonable hours are part and parcel. when u become associates, you can add "billing pressures" to that litany of stressors as well.

at least be glad you're not being sexually harassed to & then forced to quit for whistleblowing, as some people have experienced in some particular firm(s)
