[quote=Anonymous]I know this is not a unique gripe. I'm 51, 24 years into my litigation career, non-equity partner at a mid-size firm and pretty respected and successful, and I simply cannot do it anymore. The hours, the stress, the ruined weekends and vacations and the sleepless nights. I know it's perimenopause too but my job is making me ill. I don't need to make this level of salary anymore and am considering a negotiation of an of-counsel, part-time role where I take on discrete tasks/briefs/consults - but this seems unheard of. I do think my practice group wouldn't want me to walk away and I'm not really interested in finding another job elsewhere, I just cannot do this litigation grind anymore. Anyone tried this or heard of a serious ramp-down at this stage of practice?[/quote]
