[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. For more context - debt is scheduled to be repaid in about a year, and I'm subject to a claw-back for maternity leave, so it really does not make any financial sense to leave right now. Monthly debt payment is large, so we could not afford to make monthly expenses without my salary while still paying down debt. Our financial position will be quite different once debt is paid off. I did some nonprofit work before this job, so I have not been paying loans as aggressively as someone who was continuously big law.

And, to be honest, I've worked really hard to get to a place to do the type of work I'm doing now, so I do want to stick it out a little longer - I just wish it were more manageable. [/quote]

What are the terms of your clawback?  Does the firm really enforce that?

This is more out of curiosity than suggesting you should bail when it is finished or wouldn’t be enforced.  I hadn’t realized that was something firms do.[/quote]

I don’t actually know. Haven’t been able to find much on the terms, just a reference to it in the firm manual.[/quote]
