For any law students out there who are wondering what it's like to practice in a firm, Centinel's got a post up. My take: I hate hate hate hate hate keeping track of billable hours. I can do it, but it is a pain in the *ss. It also makes the day that much longer - you're spending time tracking yourself instead of working, and then you've got to work more to make up for the time. Did I mention I hate that?
I've pretty much avoided firm work except for right out of school, keeping my pay scale in the lower range for my profession, but giving me more time for acting and such, freedom from endless clockwatching, and relatively fewer blatant examples of office politics. It's a trade-off, but so far I've not been tempted to go back.
