[quote=Anonymous]I didn't have any financial goals when I left. I started in '09 when they were doing all of the deferrals and pulling offers so I had no idea how long I would be able to stay before I was laid off or managed out. This motivated me to pay off my loans ASAP and I think I paid them off in the first 1.5 years. At that point I was making more money than I knew what to do with and my bank account quickly grew into the six figures and I think I had about $150K or so when I left at the three year mark. I got a great offer that I didn't expect to get so quickly but I took it because I was really unhappy in biglaw and I wanted a normal job where I could schedule dates with my spouse and be home for dinner. You didn't say how much you have in savings or what your typical monthly spend is. I think the latter point is the more important one.[/quote]
