[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: what is the salary for 75%? I’m not big law and I know they work lots of hours, but are 50 hour weeks a 75% commitment and does the salary link up?

Can you do that a couple of years then move to government? I think you’d be happier with a straight 40 given other responsibilities.[/quote]

OP here. Depends on the firm and your level. In my case it would be $165,000. Yes- I would actually like to eventually move to government but those jobs in my practice area are hard to come by and I’ve got an in here with a firm after some time out. Also with bonus, I’ll probably make a lot more at a firm whereas in give me to I’m not sure how much I’d still bring home after paying aftercare, summer care, housekeeping, commuting cost, etc. It would be great to have several years of high pay to replace out old cars, do some much needed repairs and updates to our house, and boost college savings. I actually really like the firm and people too, just feeling worries about making the schedule work[/quote]

165k for a full time job is a good salary. That is how I would look at it. This not a part time job, if you are working 10-6 and then getting back on at night and working weekends when needed. However, I suspect that there are less demanding or unpredictable jobs that you could get that would pay close enough to that, and you wouldn't need to hire so much outside help.[/quote]
