$360K

Do you have a special deal...I thought big law topped out at @ $285k + $50k?

More importantly, when do you get to see your children?!? This is our big concern should DH return to BigLaw (he's in gov't now)...

BTW, senior associates at the most prestigious firms can easily make $350K+ annually.

They don't, which is why I'm thrilled DH is out and making less than a third of his old salary. I can't speak to partners, but associates can't be successful at BigLaw and spend what I would consider adequate time with their kids. Your mileage may vary.
