[quote=Anonymous]I’m an early retired Biglaw partner who walked away eight years ago. Man do Biglaw lawyers make a lot of money today - and associate raises in recent years have been huge. My first year as an equity partner in the early 2000s I made $450k. That’s nothing compared to what I’d be making today had I stuck around. Still, in my experience many big law lawyers fall victim to the golden handcuffs. Their incomes are huge, but so are their expenses, and as others have suggested their incomes are often fleeting because most Biglaw lawyers don’t / can’t stay for the long term or male partner. So, yea, I take all the bragging about really high HHI with a huge grain of salt. What really matters is net worth, not HHI, and how much free time you have in your life. Take it from me, a Biglaw lawyer is, in many ways, not “rich” in the slightest in my book. I wouldn’t go back to where I once was for anything. [/quote]
