Are there any other professions with the same level of competition to get paid less? (In house)
Title says it all. I find it wild that people go into this field, join biglaw, nearly kill themselves working and then fight tooth and nail to get a job in house that literally pays them less money. It seems like the most backwards thing and I’m starting to think we might all just be, collectively, insane people.
To be clear I’m not saying I don’t get why people want to be paid less, I completely get it and I’m one of those people. I would love to be in house but have had no such luck yet. I just find it mesmerizing how willing we all are to take pay cuts and I can’t think of any other field that operates that way.
