[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would walk away. Because that would be enough for me, but even if not, aren't you presenting a false choice here: stay in miserable $1 million job or retire now? You have a job that pays you $1 million a year -- someone thinks your skills/knowhow are pretty valuable. Can't you switch to a different job or work part-time or consult? You need not assume zero income if you leave this job. [/quote] I hear you. But in my case it's not a false choice. I'm a lawyer. I wouldn't do anything else. Neither interested nor qualified.[/quote] Ok. I assume you are a partner in biglaw. I'm a lawyer too. There are partners at my firm who became "of counsel" and got away from the majority of the stress and taking on only selected projects that interested them and pro bono. Would that help? I know others that retired and went into legal teaching -- workshops, clinics, sometimes lecture classes too. None of that is appealing? [/quote]
