I am the OP. The two previous posts were not mine.

I do not think we have different perspectives at all. In fact, I made clear that junior assocs are only immune for as long there is enough work to sustain them. I believe this is also your point - no files, no money, no jobs. This is a universal principle.

Nevertheless, experience has shown that even though work slows down in certain areas during crunch time, there will be an increase of work in other areas (like debt collection and insolvency). What this means is that it is really up to junior associates to be able to "prove their worth" by diversifying their practice areas, skills and knowledge. Junior assocs who can't do that will find it difficult to survive.

Hopefully, this clarifies.
