[quote=Anonymous]I spent three years in Biglaw and I was so happy when I got my opportunity to leave. I echo what others say about living as cheaply as possible so you can pay off your loans and sock away a nice amount of savings. Agree with other posters that when you leave biglaw you'll probably take a paycut so it will be harder to save at your current rate. A few specific pieces of advice: The partners don't care what brand of clothes you wear so long as you look clean and professional. You'll spend most of your time in your office anyways so basic clothes are fine. I agree on finding a cheap place to live (or even with a roommate if you can) but I would try to live within 30 minutes of the office if possible because you won't have much flexibility starting out. Good luck and always remember to keep focused on an exit strategy regardless of whether you want to make partner because you may not have a choice.[/quote]
