[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I was there and agree it is impossible.  Hiring help only gets you so far when what you really want is sleep and time with your kids.  I got an in house job and my life has been soo much better.  I still make about $400K so I can afford to hire help, but rarely work evenings or weekends.  It's still stressful, but no longer feels impossible.[/quote]Just to add, I moved from BigLaw to in house when my second was 6 months old.  My husband had a 45 hour per week job that he liked a lot, but that didn't pay as well as my job.  Zero regrets.[/quote]

What in house job is paying you $400k?[/quote]

Most in house folks are getting stock options and bonuses based on company performance. I know a senior attorney grossing 750 who is one of the lowest paid in the legal department.[/quote]
This.  Salaries are closer to $190-250k, but lots of other incentive money brings up total comp.[/quote]

Thanks. Several friends of mine are former Big Law, and most comp packages I’ve seen get to a total of maybe $350k for that 10-15 YOE range. Occasionally higher for a big tech company. And of course, even higher for those in major management positions. But I wasn’t aware of more standard in house jobs that would pay that much. [/quote]
My realized pay was lower for my first three years in house, but then my LTI started to vest and my realized comp shot up.  Some companies have LTI vest on a rolling basis--that's better for the employee.[/quote]
