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)

Agree totally. Nobody is indispensable.
When you leave the firm will just get someone younger and cheaper to replace you.
Even you worked till grave yard shift daily, your boss doesn’t give a flying ****. he still drive his Benz, pays his $300/month season parking yet you squeeze through public transport daily to make it to office 2 hours before him.
My advice to junior trainees and associates is: If you feel that your boss is picking on your work, he is actually picking on YOU as a person. He is in position of power but he will
not be asking you to quit because this is beneath his status.
He will simply and is ACTUALLY making things so difficult to FORCE you to quit.
Say you hang on, ok. then what’s next? Take over him?

I’m sure you are intelligent enough to see things for yourself.
