[quote=Anonymous]OP, BTDT when I had my first. I would encourage you to keep working, of course -- this too shall pass. But start to reposition yourself to go a different direction -- and that doesn't mean just a different law job, but think about what you can do to untie the golden handcuffs. Whether it is downsizing the mortgage or cars or a good public school district -- have a 2 year plan that will enable you to live on much less unless you want to be stuck doing this forever. It doesn't get better. The demands will still be there. If that isn't for you, there are so many other things out there you could be doing with your skills, and make a decent living without killing yourself burning the candle at both ends. I make 1/2 of what I did, but I'd never ever consider going back. And I actually find my work more meaningful now, because I help individual people instead of corporations.[/quote]
