I never met a L who wasn’t arrogant. If we aren’t. We get steamrolled.
To pipe in, I work in the corporate world. I've never hired an attorney who acted arrogantly nor can I recall one of our corporate attorneys displaying arrogance, granted I don't see them daily. They do display confidence. The ones I work with only make salaries in the $200K-$300K range. If what you say is true, and these attorneys all have an inner arrogance that keeps them acting capably and avoiding being steamrolled, they've at least learned not to display it via words or actions to their clients or to legal opposition. If you feel you're in some higher range ($500k+) where it's necessary, perhaps it's worth considering salary vs. quality of life. I think many of us make choices at some point about what and how far we're willing to go to make a living and how much salary we are content with.
