[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, he is an associate in big law. I know the hours are long but is this what other spouses of big law deal with? How do you manage?[/quote] 1) have an au pair 2) have twice weekly maid service 3) have an independent social life 4) work my own high demands high pay job [/quote] Or you leave big law for mid-size or a boutique firm, ideally in a mid-sized city. Less $$$, but much better hours and lower COL. Then you become integrated into the (much smaller and more accessible) legal/business community there, and additional opportunities will come your way in a few years. B/c you're smart and haven't overextended yourself financially, you can take those opportunities. So now you have quality of life and $$$. Maybe not big law partner $$$, but it's a helluva nice life. [/quote] Yikes careful reading must not matter in your third tier city. The question was how spouses manage. [/quote]
