[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ And I'll add, WE miss dinner with the kids when we go out on a date or have another social obligation, but HE has missed dinner for work only once in the last six months.[/quote]Geostationary.

Clearly there is something wrong with your memory if you only remember once.  No one believes this is true.  I do believe that your cognition might be faulty.[/quote]

Well, I believe it to be true. I had a law school professor who was always home for dinner. She said it was just really, really important to her to be home for dinner every day so she did it even when she was a junior partner at a big law firm (in case anybody is curious I think it was Kirkland in litigation). Her husband wasn't an attorney but had a really demanding job as well and he was there for dinners too.  Of course they stayed up late to get things done. It's just about what you prioritize.

I didn't mean junior partner, I meant junior associate. [/quote]

Yes, of course, because you don’t make partner at Kirkland by leaving every day at 4pm and never traveling. Hence, she’s a law professor making 1/50th of what a Kirkland partner makes. Cool story bro.[/quote]

Yes, law professor =/= big law partner. They get summers off, ffs. The PP who keeps mentioning the law professor sounds like they are either still in law school or fresh out of it.[/quote]

Good lord.  We have people in this thread who can't distinguish between the lifestyle of a junior associate and a junior partner.[/quote]
