[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Government lawyer -- at least at my agency -- is a great fit for motherhood. Large law firm, is not a good fit.[/quote] Same for a dad. I still make $150K but I put my kids to bed every night (except date nights, which I get to have). I'd say the best combination would be 6-9 years of biglaw, using the $$ to pay off loans, buy a house, and build savings, having the babies at around year 5 and 7 to take advantage of generous maternity leave, then find govt. job when you get #1 into preschool so the daycare expense goes down. Ideally you've planned ahead and gained experience in an appropriate practice area. Of course, by staying that long you run the risk of thinking you might become a partner and killing yourself for that instead of your family.[/quote]
