[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find these pay-cut posts interesting. If a departing biglaw associate wanted to maximize her earning, even at the expense of hours and interesting work, how much could she realistically hope to make in her next job?[/quote] There is no clear-cut answer to this question. As mentioned above, the Biglaw salaries are not the norm in any profession (someone right out of school with little to no real world experience making upwards of 200k including bonus?!?!?). Everyone who goes into it knows they'll likely take paycut coming out. It's often done to pay off loans and/or get good work on your resume, though those who want to go in-house often find they're competing with applicants who have more real-world legal experience and are therefore more sought after.[/quote]
