[quote=Anonymous]Well...what are your long term goals professionally? You guys are clearly set up very well financially right now and DH seems to make a good salary, so you have some flexibility. What kind of law do you practice? If corporate, an in-house gig could be very appealing. If litigation, one of the less stressful government units of DOJ or a smaller firm. I am an 09 grad and recently left big law. I now work at a mid/small-size (60 person) firm. My salary went from 250K to around 170K. I don't miss it for a second! I work generally 8-5ish, barely work on the weekends, etc. I am a litigator so of course if something comes up it can be the same crazy hours as my big law gig, but life is just so much more pleasant and less stressful. Like your DH, mine makes around 300K so it was a no brainer for us. We have a toddler and are hoping to have another child sometime in the next year or so. [/quote]
