The bit about practice areas particularly interests me because, as a small firm attorney, I find it easier to niche than when I was in the big firm (and fell into the "if we need a warm body, you're it" madness).

The Snark is generally tongue-in-cheek. So I'd take the article with a huge grain of salt. The column exists to poke fun at the "cogs", the young associates at big firms, and their summer associate colleagues (aka "summer camp").

Just calling them cogs identifies their insecurity at being faceless. Actually, I think he's poking fun at the entire profession telling us he thinks there is no green grass, just free coffee. Carolyn,

I don't know how I'm supposed to react - with disgust that this is what the baby shark factories are churning out, or with knowing laughter - that we're supposed to get the joke? If it's a joke, it's far too subtle for my tastes. As it is, it reads too much like "the same old, same old" - another Big Firm sneering dismissal of solo life.
