Good luck to all the summer associates who started today. Just remember, being a BigLaw associate is just like what you're about to experience! If you can complete two hours of work, attend a 3 hour Michelin starred lunch, then a group meditation, followed by one hour of creating a checklist, then sit through a Dodgers game in a luxury box with Gordon Ramsey hand crafting sliders, with nightcap performance by Lady Gaga in a backyard of a mansion, you are ready for all Biglaw has to offer ;) I kid, I kid. It's seriously awesome. People joke, but really I don't know any other industry where they go all out for you like this, so appreciate the hard work of all the HR people that put it all together!
