Do you have a number (savings) that you are working towards before walking away from law? I have a hard time thinking anyone would want to do this into their 60’s. I am really trying to retire at 54 (when my youngest kid turns 18) and then transition into a totally non-law job. I am thinking if I can save $3million by then that should tide me over. FWIW I live in a low cost city (not NY, LA or CHI).

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience.

So I recently graduated in the fall semester from school, and I am now trying to find a entry-level full-time position in my field.

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
