[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, own your choices.  I worked in biglaw for 8 years.  I worked with people like you (hell, I was someone like you).  I don't at all dispute your characterization of what it takes to make equity partner.  But if you want a less demanding job, just get one.  I did.  Yes, it's half of what I was making in biglaw.  But the money I saved from my biglaw job provided a more than ample down payment for a house in a nice, sought after neighborhood.  I am sure your house is bigger and nicer, I'm sure you have nicer things, I'm positive you have more outside help around the house and take better vacations.  In a few years, both of our kids will be busy with school and off to college, and you'll have way more money and a better career going than I will.  But for now, I leave work at 5, I don't work on the weekends, and I have time to work out during the work day, or by biking to/from work.

I don't think it makes you a bad person, or a bad mom, but don't act like it's something that happened to you.  You weren't conscripted into being an equity partner.  We all make choices.  [/quote]
