Most of the new female SMs & junior partners are single. I am not sure what they hope to achieve , work till 65 - earn high salary , fat bank balances- But no one to pass inheritance to? All in the name of prestige and status , which goes away once you retire- what good isit I always wonder to retire all alone without a husband or children to keep you company. What good is all the money earned?

Strangely, on the contrary , most of the males are married. their spouses take the backseat and raise the children. Not to be sexist but I wonder why the females slog so hard for the big 4 at the expense of their own possible shot at happyness in terms of family life , being a wife or a mother.
