Big decision to make. I’ve busted my ass at a big law defense firm for 4 1/2 years, and have been promised a partnership in October (constantly working Weekends, billing 220 hours per month). I have a 3 month old and would like to see her grow up. The shareholder has consistently promised that “help is on the way,” but it comes in new first year Associates that I train up (and love mentoring them to do so), but inevitably after 1-2 years, they leave. I’m drained and fed up, what to do?
