Date: May 9th, 2013 8:09 PM Author: shivering buff church Sick of my firm job, feel uninspired. Also I think I need a reset in my life. I've been out of shape since law school and in developing health problems that people don't you get until they r in their 50's.
Assuming I can save up 50k within 8 months, what should I do? What would you do? We r pretty mobile - no house, no kids, no debt, etc. maybe have kids in 1-2 yrs, maybe not. |

You are employed, so you are in a strong position to leave.
You have no kids, so you are in even BETTER shape to leave. |

Date: May 9th, 2013 8:12 PM Author: shivering buff church Been applying, no bites yet. Getting frustrated. Bigger issue is that I think I want out of law. I'd rather go to a F500 and do business dev work or go to a start-up |

Date: May 9th, 2013 9:05 PM Author: Fiercely-loyal Deer Antler I would try to stay in biglaw for as long as I can and save as much as possible. Biglaw is not too bad once you stop giving a shit. If they fire you, fine, cop dat severance and move on. If not, you continue to slack off and cop dat huge paycheck. You win either way. Congrats.

Date: May 9th, 2013 10:14 PM Author: shivering buff church My firm doesn't give more than 1 wk severance pay. But your pt is made. It's just that I really hate it here. I'd consider this option if I could reliably save 125-150k/yr. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2251922&forum_id=2#23168151) |
