[quote=Anonymous]DH is an attorney. I love that he used to love his profession/job, but I wish for him that he was happier. His identity was work and he was one of the ones that loved being in biglaw, being a senior associate always on call etc. And then it came to an end at yr 8 bc he didn't make partner -- HQ for that firm doesn't want to promote in the branch office. So he didn't get promoted, was too senior to get hired at one of the few other branch biglaw in our small city, unemployed for a while, and then landed in a govt job that he really dislikes bc it's just not "demanding enough." It has changed him. It's been 2 yrs since the layoff and he doesn't talk about it anymore, but he isn't the same -- more down about work but just about life generally. So while I like the profession, I wish it had worked out better for my DH and/or he could find a way back to the firm world. (And no it isn't about money.)[/quote]
