[quote=Anonymous]I am in a small firm. They wanted me to 'buy-in' as a partner a few years ago, which required them to open their books. I declined partnership but also restructured my salary as a percentage of billables. I know what my bottom line needs to be so they make a little profit and I work the amount of hours I want to work, which is 1200-1400 hours per year. Clients send work directly to me because they want to work with me, which helps. At this point in my career (15 years out, much of that time in big law), we've got mortgage paid off, college covered and retirement is in decent shape, so I have a 'take it or leave it' attitude with my firm, and I'm finally happy. The key is financial security + strong boundaries. [/quote]
