A Big Law Partner’s Brutally Honest Career Advice

Chaim Theil is a partner at Sidley Austin, one of the largest law firms in America, where he's led billion-dollar M&A and restructuring deals for some of the world's biggest investors, including Carl Icahn.

In this episode, Chaim opens up about why he doesn't believe in work-life balance, the "humble yourself" philosophy that's guided his career from Brooklyn to the top of big law, and why no amount of money (not even a billion dollars!) will ever be enough to make him happy.
