[quote=Anonymous]DP. I also chuckled at the “you should have $300k saved at the end of Big Law” comment. If you stick it out and had no loans to start! I did BigLaw for 6 years (2012-2018). I walked out of law school with about $200k in debt. Living in DC (alone, but not in trendy area), I paid off my loans, spent $40k on a wedding, and saved maybe $40k (including retirement) before I left for in house. Paying off that much debt is hard and trust me, I was counting pennies and at times, felt guilty about any type of splurge. For example, I considered not having the wedding at all. I left BigLaw maybe 6 months after my loans were paid off and frankly, had I not married a man making even more money, I doubt I would have saved what I did. (His generous finance salary came with $200k in student loans of his own.)[/quote]
