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.

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.

You're going to have to spend a lot more than that for a decent house in Scottsdale. Enjoy tract homes or living under the freeway.

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?

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?

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.

Sadly, once you lose 50% of that to take the lump sum, and another 60% of that to taxes, you'll hardly have enough to ball in monte carlo. Other locales, sure, but you'll be viewed as a kulak among the russian oligarchs

OP sounds perfect, except in a different region, smaller city 3500 sq ft for 300k. And instead of IP boutique, maybe midlaw partner.

Or actually some kind of unknown 100k 9-5 exit option with cheaper cars.
