[quote=Anonymous]The dream now among junior associates seems to be to pay off student loans and FIRE (financial independence, retire early) as soon as possible. I think many of them are enabled by their families who supported them too long, but that's just my observations as a burnt out millennial who didn't have family help. I left big law 10 years ago only to find that I work harder at a small firm than I imagine I would be working if I stuck around and made partner at a big firm because I don't have any associates to leverage. I'm on track to bill 2300 hours this year, and I'm not at all happy about it. Considering investing 100% of my bonus in my youngest child's 529 plan then possibly retire at ~40 (with a working spouse, young children at home, fully funded 529 plans and an adequately funded 401k). The law grind isn't worth it IMO. [/quote]
