[quote=Anonymous]NP, and OP, I agree that you should encourage your husband to go in-house for a more reasonable work/life balance and a salary higher than a government one. My DH was also in big law for 7+ years and together, we were making almost seven figures HHI. He left to go in-house ($400K, base and bonus), and our HHI dropped by a couple hundred thousand, but he’s much healthier, relaxed, and happier, and since he can be more present with the kids, we have also saved money with me cooking more (eating out/ordering out less), not needing a sitter because I was traveling for work, etc. I was making a little over $200K and now make a bit over $300K, so obviously that helps our HHI immensely, but he really did get much better balance back in his life and still maintained a salary much higher than a GS-15.
