ITT: Your Ideal Biglaw Exit/Lifestyle at 32ish
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 7th, 2012 2:26 PM Author: Peach Locale Background Story current v10 IP associate. will be ridiculed, but my ideal exist is:
-20 to 30 attorney litigation boutique doing tech litigation -Master-planned community in a nice, western suburb (Stevenson Ranch, Scottsdale, etc.), 3500 sq. ft. house for $500, $600k -Hyundai Genesis or G35 for self, Lexus/BMW SUV for the wife
i hope this is do-able. |

Date: August 7th, 2012 2:32 PM Author: arousing sable tattoo hominid The fundamental flaw in your dream is that the types of communities that have the real estate values you want don't also have sufficient IP litigation to make a viable career.

Date: August 7th, 2012 2:45 PM Author: Peach Locale Background Story i'm fine with tract homes if the neighborhood is nice (e.g., grayhawk, stonegate). i'm am beginning to realize that being IP, i am limited to places like SV which i cannot afford. sigh.
i suppose houston has IP lit... but can i get a nice house in the city (west u is too expensive/old), or will i have to live the outskirts like spring? |

Date: August 7th, 2012 2:52 PM Author: Peach Locale Background Story 180. that looks legit. i would be content as fuck in a home like this http://homes.yahoo.com/Colorado/Broomfield/5412-brookside-dr:cca3f16f972befa359ea6e7b806c1a.
looks like they have a ton of tech companies there... are most residents in broomfield STEM bros copping a $120k salary? whats the payscale like at cooley broomfield and would it be pretty easy for a 4th, 5th year v10 IP associate to lateral in, or are they pretty selective in terms of wanting ties to the area? |

Date: August 7th, 2012 8:34 PM Author: exhilarant violet fortuitous meteor No idea about Cooley, but as a former V15 associate on the East Coast now working in-house near Broomfield, I second that the place provides a pretty sweet lifestyle and is only 15-20mins from both Denver and Boulder.
