[quote=Anonymous]Don’t quit. I am part time big law now but was full time when I just had one kid and a husband that traveled quite a bit. It really does get easier. I also suggest picking 2 nights to stay late to catch up on work and leaving at a reasonable time the other nights. If you can, only do pick ups twice a week. I had a nanny or nanny share until my kids were school age and found it invaluable. Finally ignore the 5-7 pm emails esp if you are responsive outside of those hours. For all people know you could be on other calls and emails during that time. Basically if people aren’t calling you, it’s not a true emergency. Finally think about the bigger picture in terms of your exit. I agree that the sweet spot for finding a good job post big law is between years 6-8. But try to get some specialized experience rather than just being a general litigator. Check out jobs on goinhouse to get a sense of the kids of skills and experience jobs look for[/quote]
