Very interesting background (esp. the work on healthcare…actually that was very interesting!).

I’m not sure if this is too general of a question to ask, but are there certain practice areas in biglaw that can be categorized as ~usually~ having:

i.) more/less work hours,
ii.) more/less predictable work hours
iii.) more/less intellectually stimulating work?

It seems your work experience involves more work long overnight work hours and also more changing and intellectually challenging/stimulating situations than other areas (if I’m not mistaken). Just wondering if there are some general categories of biglaw that can labeled as having these features (listed above) that prospectives can think about?

Thank you very much again. And happy sleep and rest time to you!!! Reading your posts sometimes makes ME feel exhausted. lol.
