[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing as part time in litigation. They may be telling you you’ll be part time at 1500-1600 hrs but let’s be real when a TRO lands on your desk or an expedited discovery schedule requiring your team to get dozens of depos done all over the country in a month or some ridiculous emergency brief needs to be out the door in 2 days - do you genuinely believe you can peace out bc you’re part time? And hold onto your job come the next review cycle (bc I’m assuming you’re going in as an associate or counsel not an equity partner w a book that’d provide you job security). I wouldn’t do it. I say this as someone who did it and loved it - but time with kids wasn’t an issue for me back then.[/quote] +1 I wouldn’t do this unless I was at least doubling my comp. Not worth it. [/quote] +2. This is exactly why I left biglaw for government and I am hardly alone. This is not a good move if you want to see your kids more. [/quote]
