[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big law just isn't worth it. Have an exit strategy, get a great salary with 50% of the hours. What you are doing now is digging an early grave.[/quote] But it’s nowhere near 50% of the hours, particularly if it is a remotely “great” salary. If OP has debt, there is something to be said for staying at least long enough to plow through the debt and ideally give yourself a nice nest egg to get started on the positive side.[/quote] Not really. The longer you wait (especially if you're not doing a great job at Biglaw) the harder it can be to transition into a non-Big Law job. Although I strongly believe that OP can find a new job, waiting too long until you're senior (for the new workplace) can be a mistake. What she wants is to hit a sweet spot where she can be hired in a bit lower in the pyramid at the new job, because that is a much easier transition to make.[/quote]
