[quote=Anonymous]I would think of how the family would work while you are working - what is your childcare situation? How much income does your spouse bring in? Who will be there for school events, sick kids, etc.? What happens to the family when you are traveling? I'm a former DOJ attorney who worked in a litigation section for many years. Many people in my section had no trouble transitioning to firms, big and small. Some stayed at the firms and you would also be surprised at how many came back! I was able to work well even after having three kids - however, I definitely needed a nanny who could stay late and was ultra-reliable because I never knew when I would have to stay late or travel. My spouse worked/works in a BigLaw  firm, so he was not able to cover for me. I went back after kid 3 for 2 years and tried to minimize my travel time because it was too hard logistically to do it anymore. When it became obvious that the travel was going to pick up again I decided to leave. [/quote]
