Lawyer Salary

ROFL. You're in the legal industry la brudder. What voicing out u wanna do? Just keep your head down, do your work, STFU and collect your relatively high pay at the end of every month la. Is tt so difficult?

At the end of the day, you're merely a glorified functionary doing paper-pushing dog work for rich clients, and so is your Equity partner boss. Not asking you to be startup entrepreneur and change the world with your brilliant ideas oso. How outspoken and "vocal" you wanna be? If you have so many brilliant ideas in that billion dollar brain of yours, like the next Elon Musk or Greta thunberg, you won't have been a lawyer already right?

SMH at all these snowflakes who have delusions of self importance

Great advice on path to mediocrity

Your advice is suspiciously specific. You’re obviously talking about your own situation. You don’t have the balls to speak up, just keep your head down and call other people snowflakes?

No one will remember you. You will always be a nobody.

I have a billion dollar idea. Wait, I lost it 😂

Greta Thunberg? Really? What kind of pro-left page is this

Hahaha bro. I don't need people to remember me or be a somebody. I'm quite happy in my role as a senior associate , paying off my condo mortgage and hopefully expecting a young kid soon.

U want renown, riches or fame as a 'change maker'? Being a lawyer is not the path to it. Nobody is putting a gun to your head to walk this path. If this is something that you haven't figured out so long, then TBH you're a bit of a slow learner.

You're also free to walk the path of political martyrs like JBJ and our newest aspirant, Mr Charles Yeo.

I consider myself smart enough to know that my clients and bosses pay me to get s hit done, not harbour delusions about my creativity or intelligence.

That’s fair enough. But that’s just the limit of your life aspirations. There’s nothing wrong with that.

However, if others want to better themselves and don’t hold your limiting beliefs, that doesn’t make them entitled snowflakes.

I can’t stand entitled snowflake idiots either.

If we go by the famous quote: "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else", post #8200 is very guilty of a snowflake attitude imho

I'm Tyler's law degree.

A fellow Fight Club fan I see. But we can't talk about it given the first and second rules of Fight Club.

Agree with all paras. CY is a _____ fill in the blanks.

Anyway, condo mortgage but you shackled 😂
