I study every morning from 7:00-9:00 am. If I wait until after work I'm too exhausted. I study for about 8-10 hours on the weekend too

Those who have returned to a law firm from being in-house - what was your experience like? If you hated a firm the first time, was it better the second time around? I swore I’d never go back, but seeing the newest round of BigLaw raises and salary increases I am genuinely considering it - I’m getting married and planning for kids shortly, and would like to buy a home in our HCOL city, and while I’m not starving on my in-house salary and am fairly frugal, I don’t feel like we have much cushion.

At what stage in the lateral hiring process do you tell your current firm about an offer if you’d consider staying for a retention bonus? I understand you have to accept the new offer before the conflicts process starts; are you only telling your firm about the move once conflicts clear, such that staying for the retention bonus involves reneging on your acceptance of the new offer?
