[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current job: great gig at DOJ, true 40 hour weeks (rarely ever nights/weekends), but full-time in-person requirement, which means I'm gone 10+ hours everyday. Job offer: $75k more in base salary (although health insurance will be much more expensive), 1560 billable target ("part-time" BigLaw), mostly remote, great flexibility other than the unpredictable swings of litigation (so definitely a give and take with the flexibility), the group partner has been vetted as a great guy to work for. Which would you do? [b]#1 priority is maximizing time with kids[/b].[/quote] Lol? Then you don’t do biglaw. I don’t think that billable target, paired with being in litigation, is going to feel very part time at all. I regularly billed 1600 as a normal full time associate, and had many bad weeks/months where I barely saw my kids. [/quote]
