[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is being a big law parter especially prestigious and lucerative in the DC area? It doesn't strike me as something worth arguing about like I've seen on DCUM this Summer. I guess my experience is in the Bay Area and NYC where law is secondary in the hierarchy to tech and banking (and is mostly a service profession to those industries). Given how many lawyers there are per capita here, I can't imagine being a big law partner impresses that many people. 
Wachtell was the firm in NYC that most impressed people in my circles and they are not here at all, right?[/quote]

Tech and banking aren't as big here, which is why lawyers are higher up the pecking order. DC also isn't a big medical city so fewer doctors too compared to NYC or Boston.[/quote]

I'd be jealous of the tech spouses. Depending on their spouse's level, they get paid very well (especially with the equity growth), have great benefits, work reasonable hours at least partially from home, and get a lot of time off.
The banking and PE spouses, not so much even though they make more $$ except at the highest levels of tech.
Venture capital might be the best of both worlds and even sounds cool![/quote]
