[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll work 100% schedule for 80% pay. This is DC and well-credentialed lawyers are a dime a dozen. You may want to think twice because I could see this severely limiting your upward mobility, at least at your current firm.[/quote] True, but it depends on specialty. I know of a few lawyers who specialize in arcane tax structuring, ERISA and other areas who basically can write their own ticket anywhere. This is because many general practice firm do not want a single billable hour to walk out the door, as allowing this would creating an opening for another firm to steal the client. Additionally, having such a specialist on staff is a way to train a homegrown associate or two in those areas. Naturally, if you're a former U.S. Supreme Court clerk, you can write your own ticket too....[/quote]
