Just the paycheck and literally nothing else.

Paycheck. Took a 60% pay cut to go into government. Payday is sad.

Prestige? Lol
Mentor
I missed:
* camaraderie with other associates
* resources/precedents (PLC/PLI)
* having legal colleagues instead of business colleagues.
* didn't miss timesheets, bullshittery, always being on call, shifty overly-demandind clients and busywork

Having other lawyers to get input from. That’s it. Prestige is the last on the list of things I’d ever miss.

Paycheck and my incredible, competent, responsive assistant that protected me from expense reports.
Prestige is BS. No one outside of biglaw knows the names of half the V50 firms. Even within law, many only know a handful of large firms. It literally does not matter.
