[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who have responded and who like their work, what advice would you offer my DC, who is a 2021 law school grad now clerking for a federal district court judge.  DC is working in LA and has a job waiting at a litigation boutique there.  DC is realistic about the stress of litigation and is willing to make tradeoffs to have a more balanced life, including moving to another part of the country, going inhouse or going into government or an NGO.  DC is in a fortunate place financially: no loans to pay back and a small inheritance from grandparents that will be helpful in buying a house or apartment.  Thanks for your suggestions and thoughts about what you wish you'd known at an earlier point in your career.     [/quote]

So I would say advice wise, life in coastal cities is still quite expensive.  This is very close to DHs situation - 2007 law graduate, parents paid for law school and we had about 300k from his grandparents as an inheritance.   All this set us up nicely but we aren’t rolling in it and thankful feel comfortable in DMV with kids in public and a nice close in house.  But we will very much need to work quite a bit.  HHI is around 400k - 300k from my DH in house salary and 100k for my salary.  [/quote]
