[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long term fed lawyer (mid-50’s) here. I have an offer at a firm in Boston and live in DMV. We have one kid in college and one who will graduate HS in 2027. She is in a special ed school and pulling her out is absolutely not an option. My whole family who I am very close to is in the Boston area and I grew up there, so we would make a permanent move in 2027. 3 days per week in-office requirement so I could theoretically be home every weekend, or I could try to negotiate one week on, one week off. I’m just trying to figure out how stressful this would be for 1.5 years. Job is a good career move - will be similar pay for a year or two but then there is partner possibility. Firm is large but not “big law” so there is reasonable work-life balance but 1900 billables.

Has anyone done this kind of arrangement? Is the short term pain worth the long term payoff? We would love to be near my family and community. We don’t have much of one here. [/quote]

No.
Spec Ed kid she needs you.
It's "just" 1.5 years?
