I'm a bit surprised that people are complaining so much about this. I have read many a blog post which stretched one or two fairly obvious thoughts out at great length. By comparison this post is just a few sentences and it manages to say something sensible, if not stunningly insightful, about the title. (The banner art and so on is a bit extra, yes, but ... meh.) The thing most worth complaining about here is that the title isn't original: 'academia', 'law school' and 'making partner' are all older and more common substitutions for 'a career'. 'Law school' seems to be particularly popular and appropriate, since (IIUC; IANAL) the best-performing US law-school students are rewarded with the coveted opportunity to move from cramming law for exams to working 996 pressure-cooker jobs as juniors at BigLaw firms.
