[quote=Anonymous]Also? The people and politics. I made that decision, left a fairly prestigious government spot, and spent exactly four months back at Biglaw before I decided to bail. I couldn't stand the environment. People constantly looking to push someone else down to move themselves up. Client service was really secondary and things were being done in an inefficient fashion. The politics of the partnership were quiet cruel. It's everyone for themselves. Highest bidder wins. And as a lateral partner, I had some success building a book, but decided enough was enough. I didn't want to fight over origination credit and really, really realized that the people I worked with were passive aggressive pessimists. I went in-house. Am much, much happier. It's more family friendly and quite frankly it's more pleasant working to further the mission of an organization (similar to the government). Firms have no mission except to make money. That bugged.[/quote]
