[quote=Anonymous]I am in almost the exact same boat. I'm torn between hanging on to the $250K+ job until they show me the door (and hope to God I could find a job within the 3 to 6-month pretend-you-still-work-here period that they'll give me) or bite the bullet and search for a new job now. I have standing offers at smaller firms that I've co-counseled with over the years, but it's hard to accept a halved paycheck without being forced to. At the same time, I've seen other associates hang on until the bitter end and then face six months or a year of unemployment after their severance ran out. I think my core problem is that law appealed to my risk-adverse self ten years ago when it *was* a stable career path. Now it is anything but, but my nature hasn't changed. I'm still risk-adverse and that means I'm paralyzed by the prospect of leaving before I have to or finding a new career.[/quote]
