[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is an equity partner and he genuinely likes his job. I interact with many law firm partners and it’s quite obvious (perhaps even more so to a non-lawyer) who enjoys their work (the way they talk about it, how happy they seem) and who doesn’t.

I look at the families with a law firm partner who is overworked and miserable, and I think, man, WHY? Totally not worth the misery.

On the other hand for those who enjoy it, yes it’s worth it. More hours and stress than a government job but 15x the money, and tons of flexibility. [/quote]

I feel so much second hand embarrassment whenever I see a woman respond to a career question by talking about her husband's career.  [/quote]

+1.  Yikes![/quote]

Why is this so terrible? I'm the PP at 15:27 who posted about my DH. Like most people, I do not know the salaries of all but my very closest friends and so I thought I'd offer a data point. If my DH was on here posting and the tables were turned, I would have no issue with him posting my salary in the same way. FWIW, I also have a great, well-paying in house job, to the extent that matters. [/quote]

I don't get it either. [/quote]
