[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AUSA: I worked at three different big shops in NY and DC (eventually as a income partner) and by all accounts did well enough to gracefully land at the USAO. They were all the same. The pressure of institutional attrition, client billing origination fights, and just non-sense. No, people really didn't want me to be successful beyond raising their star. I actually saw terrible things in the evaluation process of associates as a young partner, and looked up and saw my life. It wasn't just fighting with opposing counsel. It was fighting with my colleagues, pushing junior people out the door, and trying to squeeze every ounce of billing out of clients who didn't want to pay my (inflated) rates.

It was, a miserable existence. And I wasn't a peach to my husband (who was the default parent).

We drastically downsized our lifestyle expectations, but we're fine. OP needs to realize that if her husband's job is the problem, it needs to go. Or she needs to accept it.[/quote]
