Meh, this is and always has been part of the gig. Ludes and coke is how the guys in the 80s survived.
It’s a similar lifestyle for young associates at top tier law firms in mid/major markets. Sleeping at the office, always bringing a change of clothes, skipping meals etc. comes with the territory. Either you make partner track after 5-7 years, or you “wash out” and move to a smaller firm or cushy (but not as well compensated) in-house counsel position with one of your firm’s F500 clients.
In any event, you’re financially better off than most people unless you spend like an absolute retard. Whether it’s a fair trade off is for them to decide.
