"It's easy to get depressed, burnt out, and close to the breaking point where the six-figure salary and fancy business card just aren't all that glamorous anymore."
OPINIONISTAS will not be a six-figure lawyer much longer.
During the past seven months, Opinionistas, who is 27, has anonymously published a Web log detailing the inner workings of life at large New York law firms: the internal struggles for power, the toll on personal lives, the obsession with billable hours. Her unrelenting description of the mental and physical excesses of life in the hold of these legal behemoths has made compulsive reading for fellow lawyers and prospective law students, some of whom have been put off the profession.
