[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you cannot do both well. Either your job suffers of your children suffer. Your marriage will suffer too, since you will take out your stress on your spouse. Everyone can argue that dad should pick up all the slack, but kids want their mother first and foremost. It's biology, it's hard-wired and you can't change that. You have to decide which one is more important for you to do well at: parenting or your job. Your job won't visit you at the nursing home someday.[/quote] This is bad advice. You CAN have both, and you CAN do both well. It will just be difficult doing anything else well (exercise, home duties, hobbies), and you end up outsourcing so much that the financial incentive to be in Biglaw isn't as strong. But if you actually like your biglaw job and your coworkers, then certainly keep at it! [/quote]
