As someone who knows many who went into this field, some who burned out and some who didn't, it's one thing to describe the challenge of 100 hour weeks, and another to live it.

Biglaw is similar, but the gulf from 80 hours to 100 hours is very large.

I meant to imply that, but I guess I wasn't clear enough.

I hadn't realized 100 hours was the norm though. That is a significant increase over 80.
