[quote=Anonymous]this was years ago, but I definitely mentioned work/life balance as one of the reasons I wanted to leave my Big Law job in interviews. It wasn't the first thing I mentioned, but I didn't shy away from it, and I got several offers - both govt and in-house. Job market was a lot better then though. As an in-house lawyer who does interviews, I would definitely not hold it against you if you mentioned work/life balance as a reason you're looking to leave. That's the reality of why most of us left. Of course - it shouldn't be the first or only reason. But it's perfectly normal to like what you do, but just not want to do it for 80 hours a week.
