[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in Biglaw for 30 years and agree with OP 100% if you don't like the work or work life "balance"   most of the time there are other options, however on the flip - I am tired of highly credentialed gov and non-profit lawyers in this area complaining that their private school tuition should be subsidized/FA  more because they chose a lifestyle job with less hours than mine.  Many parents at my kids school went to ivy law schools  but get FA because of their life choices so I am essentially working extra hours to pay their costs and getting lectured by them re: how virtuous their public service life style is compared to mine[/quote]
Meh, not everyone can get a job in BigLaw, though. You are acting like any fed/non-profit lawyer can wake up and choose to get a job in BigLaw making $500K+ a year or not.  High-paying BigLaw jobs are often reserved from the top of the class from elite law schools. I mean, I guess they could have chosen to do better in law school...[/quote]
