[quote=Anonymous]My story is similar to yours. I would not recommend quitting cold turkey or an early retirement. Although your savings are impressive, you can go through them in a matter of years. Like you, I remember the burn-out I felt. There is something psychological that happens when you work that hard for so long under such stress. At some point, a sort of depression sets in and tunnel vision too. I would recommend finding an in-house job and taking a couple of months in between jobs to travel. But you are really young and very marketable while at biglaw; you will never be that marketable again. I left for in-house and it took me a couple of years to regain my sanity from biglaw. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just need to make sure not to make poor decisions because you are psychologically burnt-out.[/quote]
