[quote=Anonymous]I don’t regret it. Met my spouse there, so it would be worth it for that alone. Did biglaw for a few years and then switched to a regional mid-sized firm where I’m now an equity partner. Clients are generally nice, I mostly have nights and weekends off, and I have a lot of flexibility. The work is not always the most glamorous (I do smaller M&A deals and outside GC work for the most part). The comp is less than what I would be making in biglaw for sure, but it’s hard to complain about a $500k plus HHI in a lower cost of living city. Like a PP, I went straight to law school since I had no clue what to do with my liberal arts degree, and it has worked out well. I came out with $190k in debt, and it’s down to $25k. Spouse didn’t have to take on any debt, which made a big difference in our agility to buy a house in our 20s, etc. [/quote]
