Oversupply at entry level, under-supply/attrition at mid level, terrible WLB, poor pay per hour, oftentimes bad mentors and bosses, or at the very least lousy managers (since technical legal skills don't translate well to people mgmt).
Now that law has lost its lustre to other industries like tech, why is it still so attractive? Amazingly, tHis industry still finds a way to suck in a fair amount of bright young JC kids when they have other better options.

That's because in one's youthful naivete, the kiddos assume that they would be the exception to the rule. After all, they are and may always have been top students and would surely overcome the issues plaguing the industry. No hate, I was once a young naive kiddo too.

That role is almost always permanently open. My guess is that it’s a revolving door of 0-1PQE lawyers not knowing what they are getting themselves into and quitting once they realise that it is a terrible workplace with horrid culture.
I have had friends who interviewed for the role and they did not have good things to say.
