[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH was laid off from Big Law in Jan 2009 when our oldest child was 10 months old. At the time we were really scared and unsure of the future. It took almost 7 months but ended up getting an in-house counsel job. Yes, it will be a lifetime paycut but the QOL difference is not even comparable. Even now, 7 years later, I think what a blessing in disguise that was, God closing a door but opening a window sort of thing. Our marriage and family have been so much the better for it, and we haven't missed the money AT ALL. But I don't know that he ever would have left on his own.[/quote] Statistics would suggest the Big Law would have left him. And at that point, in a much worse position. Congrats on the move. In-house, while it does have cons, is definitely sanity friendly![/quote]
