[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I have never ever heard of a partner who said that landing partner was great/helped with family life (assuming that's the premise of your question). Instead, I've heard many justifying the decision by saying that someday down the road the kids would grow to realize that daddy/mommy sacrificed a lot for the kids' future. Also, I've never heard of any government/in-house/former biglaw associates say that they regret their move (but this might be because they wouldn't have made the cut or that people tend to justify themselves) to "inferior" positions. Everybody has their own priorities and some prioritize career/professional achievement over family. From my impression, the partners who are truly the successful ones (heads of practices with huge portables) are truly immersed in their field and personal conversations about family with them are usually an afterthought. If you are that person, go for it. [/quote]
