| Would you leave a UN legal job paying around $190k (amazing benefits, job security, low stress, etc.) for a law firm job paying around $340k? (as a counsel, no guarantee of partnership, stress, etc.). |

| No. Low stress jobs are invaluable. Law firm jobs = STRESS |

Ha ha.
You are kidding, right? Why would you leave your UN job to have no life at all in Law Firm? |

| Not sure; don't law firm partners make $1M+? That's a lot of money you could be making in a few years. |

| Does the 190 include the tax payments? |

| OP here. The $190k is gross equivalent (I actually get paid net with tax reimbursement) |

do you have to earn money to ransom your parent from Yemeni pirates?
If not (or some comparable need for an extra $100k/yr) then no way. |

| Do you have a personal life now? Is it important to you? |

| OP here--I do have a personal life which is very important to me. I'm leaning against going back to big law (already did a few years right out of law school--although I woder if it would be better now that I'm more senior). |
