[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to find a new job. and in-house or non-profit is probably best. If you take reduced hours now, you're taking yourself off the partner track before you've even established that you're someone they eventually might want on the partner track, so you'd be hanging out in a dead-end job while still dealing with a lot of the pressures you're struggling with now (I say that from experience as a part-time associate). A small firm will not necessarily give you a meaningful better lifestyle, because they will often be more eat-what-you-kill, and you'll have to spend a lot of time networking to bring in your own clients in addition to your billable work. You're too early in your career to have your husband quit his job, you could find yourself being pushed out in three or four years anyway, having to take a job with a big pay cut, and a spouse who's been out of the work force for a while and may struggle to get back in if needed. So in-house or non-profit. You could also consider government.[/quote]
