I took a drop from 4th year big law salary to a TC of 250k. I don’t check email after 5pm and work 20-30 hours a week. The pros of having a life again and being able to make plans to do something every night of the week outweigh the financial cons for me.
What is your base?
I was not in big law but had a decent salary and took a cut of about 25% to go in-house. I don’t miss much about firm life, but I do miss the check! If you’re going to make the move, try to trim the fat of your expenses immediately - then see where the margins are big enough to gradually add things back in. Otherwise, stay at the firm, trim your expenses and create a cushion so you won’t feel it so much when you go in-house later.
I’m here in FishBowl looking for ideas to generate another $60k/yr so I can exit this struggle I created for myself. Don’t be like me. 😂
How much of a drop? I'm in insurance defense and it seems like in house would be a boost.
