[quote=Anonymous]My husband leaving big law and going in house was the best thing to ever happen to us. Really. He makes 1/2 of what he would have but does about 1/4 of the work. And the entire culture is different— no more constant fire drills, interrupted plans, stress. I don’t believe you can change the culture. A partner would have the most ability to do this but he’s only one of several, in an industry that is built around clients paying enormous amounts of money for them to be available 24/7. I just don’t think it’s realistic. FWIW, I’m also a lawyer, and I chose the government over a firm. I’m making way, way less than my peer group. I do not care. My life is tremendously less stressful. And now that I have kids, my time (and minimizing unnecessary stress) is that much more important to me. I’d have a talk with him about your family and future. A lot of people cannot see that there’s a different way of life out there. [/quote]
