What is it like?

I am a healthcare worker and have always been interested in law / the corporate lifestyle. It seems very glamorous from the outside- the fancy events, the nice lunches, the outfits, the coffee breaks, the downtown lifestyle, etc.
Being unionized and working in a hospital, we get hardly any perks and the work is far from glamorous.

I don’t know if I would like the actual work of law from what I have heard- I wouldn’t like reading large documents on a computer for most of the day, but I do like working with people and problem solving.

I would like to know from this community what is it really like? Are the perks worth the long hours? Is it really all that glamorous? Would you recommend someone making a career switch into it? I know there are varying areas of law but I guess I meant this more generally / geared toward corporate.
