[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lolling forever at suggestions for a full time housekeeper and private chef for 2 biglaw associates. They aren’t hedge fund managers! [/quote]

A full time housekeeper is very affordable for two big law associates.  Get real. [/quote]

I don’t agree. The idea of biglaw is to save up some money, not spend it all. If they’re both equity partners now that’s one thing but that’s not the impression I’m getting. [/quote]

Exactly. There is no guarantee of making partner and that sweet 450k+ per person will drop to half or a third if they don’t make it. No way will Op hire a chef or housekeeper even if they could technically afford it right now. [/quote]

No way are they making 450 a person. 
And less than 1% of people entering law end up as partner. [/quote]

??? Why do you doubt they’re making $450k each? DH is a (junior nonequity) partner and I’m a senior associate and that sounds like a close/low guess to me. [/quote]

We don't know what year they are or even if it's big law. [/quote]
