[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am cracking up at all these big laws wives acting like just because their DH is “home for dinner” or “drives to practice” - both of which I have no trouble believing - but leave out the part where their spouse is on the phone either texting or talking almost the entire day with brief pauses. Either you bill a ton of hours or you are so good at business development you don’t need to bill as many hours, but the latter requires a ton of lunches/dinners/evening events/golf, etc. Anyone trying to asset their big law husband basically works fed hours is straight up lying. Also, their spouse has never taken a vacation in their entire career that they didn’t work at least a small part of. Same for paternity leaves. The women have made their peace for their family and for the money, which there is nothing wrong with, but I’m not sure why they need to sugarcoat it.

I don’t know exactly what the life of an average fed is like. My BF from college left her law firm to be a fed and she says she works nearly as much as she did at her firm. But, she enjoys her work more and has a lot of seniority.

I also don’t know exactly what the life of an “average” law firm partner is like, but I do know about my DH and several of our friends (both men and women who are partners). They work hard, yes, and certainly take a few calls on a week long vacation. But they aren’t absent, at all. I know the reputation of some firms can be pretty bad, so I believe that the absent law partner spouse is a thing. It’s just not the ONLY way to be a law partner. There are plenty of partners who have balance.[/quote]
