[quote=Anonymous]I am probably not the finance person you had in mind (nowhere near law partner income).  I was in the mortgage business (I started as a loan processor- eventually working my way up to manager and loan officer).  When I started (in the late 90's) I was making around $30K.  At my peak, I was making about $200K a year (working for one of the largest banks in the Nation).  I worked a lot of hour (usually 10 a day plus weekends).  Evenings were a must (that is when most people who worked were available to talk).  Daytime was a must (that is when I worked with my staff to submit the loans, documentation and to resolve issues.)  Money was great AND I had a great reputation, but after about 10 years, I realized I didn't want to keep the pace up, that living my life on my terms was more important to me than money.

I now work for the federal government in a housing related field in which I have a more normalized schedule and I am able to telework full time.  I am a GS-14 - so my pay is a little more than half what I was making when I left.  I don't work any weekends and no late nights.  I am off by 4:30 -5:00 each day and daycare is 5 minutes from the house.  I feel like I won the lottery.   [/quote]
