[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I would take the big law gig if I were you. The first couple years will be rough and your wife might want more flexibility, which your big law salary could afford her. Plus, tbh and maybe I will get flamed for this, babies and toddlers don't care that much if you are around. Yes you will miss the experience but if I had to choose, I would rather be around more for early elementary years than baby years. You should leave now, save up big time your big law salary for next 3-4 years, then when govt is hiring again, take your pick of govt job if it becomes stable again. Or go in house or some other job with more flexibility. Then you will have your down payment and cushion, given your wife flexibility to stay home or part time during early years, and you will get to enjoy more family time when your kids are 4 or 5.[/quote] I think this is good advice.
