[quote=Anonymous]A friend and I were talking the other day about a mutual friend who we both like very much.  She's a Biglaw partner.  All three of us worked at the same firm.  I left years ago as a partner and retired early.  The friend I was talking with left several years ago as well, not as a partner, but went on to do good things and now makes plenty of money in a semi-law related kind of field.

The friend who's still at the firm is married but childless and probably past the age of having any.  I'd guess she's pulling in $2 million by now, easily, and isn't an obvious big spender.  The spouses doesn't make much (works for a non-profit) but whatever.

Our friend, for want of a better word, is so "normal."  Just a great, normal person.  She does work very hard, that we know.

Our question to each other was "why is she still there?"  Why would a normal person who doesn't have kids and isn't a huge spender but who obviously now has more money than God keep working in Biglaw?  [/quote]
