Podcast Episode 380: Why BigLaw Isn’t for Everyone (w/Sadie Jones)

March 7, 2023 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re chatting with our career consultant Sadie Jones about why a career in BigLaw might not be for everyone.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Which firms are considered “BigLaw”?
  • The work you might expect to be doing in a BigLaw firm
  • What personality types fit into BigLaw firms better?
  • What’s specific about the BigLaw work environment?
  • Summer associate positions at BigLaw vs. other firms
