[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread. Our HHI right now is about $700k. We live very comfortably and basically do what we want when we want it. Don’t spring for business class airfare, but we take lots of vacations and stay in nice places. We drive nice cars and buy the things we want when we want them.

I just became a partner in big law, so we’re about to go to $1.5 millon to start. I honestly don’t know what we’re going to do with the extra $$. Our elementary school kids are in public school and we’re happy with that right now. We both went to public schools and did just fine, and don’t really think we’ll go private. I guess we could look for a second house, but where do people buy nice second houses in the DMV? And also, how do you find time to actually use it? Our weekends are already over programmed with sports/friends/birthdays/etc. I still can’t imagine dropping $25k for the family to fly business to Europe, but maybe that will change. I’m not complaining, I’m just honestly stumped on how our life will change. I feel like it’s already so great and we don’t need more, and yet… here it is.[/quote]

I’ll be interested to know what first year partner in big law in the DMV starts at 1.5 million[/quote]

They’re real and they’re spectacular. Welcome to the big leagues. [/quote]

No, I’m actually serious.  As an insider that seems on the high end to me.  [/quote]

Me too.[/quote]

Biglaw poster above here. And now I’m curious. What does your biglaw firm pay first year (equity) partners?[/quote]
