[quote=Anonymous]BTDT.  I didnt make it the first time and left shortly before I would of been up the second time.  I went in-house though...gov was too competitive and i didnt have an in and my connections and relationships fit in better with some in house leads and on of them turned into an offer.  In-house counsel is different than big law and took a lot of adjustment but overall I like it.  I also like working 50 hours a week (max) and having better healthcare.  I was making about 310 in big law (left in 12) and started at 185 in-house with small quarterly bonuses.  I barely break 200k but the work/life balance is better.  My husband and kids both like this life better.  I will say I did pay off my house in the 14 months I had between not getting partner and leaving the firm. (which isn't saying a ton bc our house is fairly modest but still)  That made the drop in income fairly seamless.  Just pay everything down as much as possible and jump when you can.  Thats basically how it goes now a days. [/quote]
