[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who are saying it would take double or triple, you should know that the private sector isn't all 60+ hr work weeks, high turnover, and stressful environments. You can leave, make a decent amount more money, improve your work environment, and still work normal hours. Just in case some misconception of private sector life is holding you back.[/quote] Some biglaw gigs are fairly cushy but most suck and you can’t know what you’re going to get when you lateral in. The other option is in-house, but the comp difference isn’t necessarily worth the boring nature of the work and the loss of job security. A federal salary of $260k is something you can hold until you’re 65 or even 75 if you really want without any concerns, whereas in the private sector you have to be prepared for the possibility of a career-ending layoff at 50+.[/quote]
