I left in 2013 after five years in. I have since done everything from selling motorcycles, getting a food prep certificate, doing discovery work, starting a few companies, and getting married to a woman who knew better than to speak to the person I was in my big law days. Could not have made a better decision, but wouldn’t mind that paycheck for a few more months.

Salary for Sr. Art director in LA with 5 years experience?

I’ve been working a Boston based commercial lender for about 9 months as a credit analyst since leaving my relationship manager/portfolio manager role in agricultural lending. I’ve been presented with a portfolio analyst role they have created for me (was told not to apply for a PM role) . The offer is for $100k, is this reasonable? I feel like I have leverage due to underwriting 48% of the volume we have booked by myself and my team is 7 other analysts.

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).

I maxed out my Roth IRA contribution thinking I'd be safe from the income limits however my wife brought way too much $$$ than anticipated this year. It's a good problem to have but not sure what I need to do with my Roth IRA for the year 2021. Impossible to get a hold of Merrill to discuss options.

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY. I’ve mostly only been a FTE for the entirety of my career, so a bit nervous as I want to eventually be offered FT but feeling a lot of pressure to perform for the next 5 months to prove my worth. At some point it will surely get exhausting. Any tips for how to deal with this? Also curious to know what a mid-level PM normally gets paid as a freelancer?

Thank you for joining. If you don’t mind sharing, how long did you work in big law and what type of work do you do now?

Ex big law attorneys - please share your experiences. Do you regret leaving? Have you found happiness? Pros and cons?

Anyone ex-biglaw to plaintiffs bar?

I left biglaw after 2 years, stayed home with my kids for 8, and then became a recruiter. My husband left biglaw after 1 year, started his own firm, grew it and practiced for 20+ years, and then became a judge. We’ve both been very happy with our choices!

Please share stories of people who left successfully after their first year, I need the inspiration 🙏

Ex big law capital markets attorneys - what’re you doing now? Do you like it? When did you leave? How much do you work? Can you touch on salary expectations, both as soon as you left, and end of career?

I left biglaw after 3 years to a mid-size firm. Took a pay cut but the hours, people, culture and work were so much better I never thought twice about the salary or “prestige.” Ultimately I started 2 very small firms. I am not rich by biglaw standards but I have a very comfortable life and put my kids through college with no debt. 35 years after leaving big law, people are still impressed when I say I started there. I feel like I still had the benefits of the connection w/o the suffering.

Left big law as a 5th year. Currently working at a small firm, billing around 5 hours per day, firm typically makes partners around year 7. Huge pay cut, but loans paid off and I have way more time for hobbies/self care. Life is good. AMA.

Just got an offer to go back to BL and contemplating it. Left 2 years ago to work in government and love the wl balance. This offer would triple my salary. Not sure what to do.

My dad technically left big law after a month of it in 1968. He went on to have an amazing career in both law and politics. Has even been deemed important enough to have his own Wikipedia. Sky’s the limit!

Obama summered at Sidley Austin

A friend has been offered a role as an independent contractor commercial counsel in house (NYC pre IPO tech company) (10-20 hrs/week, with possibility to turn into a full time position). Would appreciate anyone's insights into what would be a fair hourly wage to offer up in negotiations (this person is a 4th year). Thanks in advance!

Working remotely for a tech co and still can't get over how much more time I get to spend with my kids. To be honest, this alone is worth so much more than money can buy. For those who plan well, I really think exiting can be worth it if family is a priority. It's really helped my marriage also, I'm a lot kinder to my wife with way less stress.

I left practice 12 years ago. I became the Director of International Programs at a law school, which was great for a while. But, the bureaucracy eventually got to me. While there, I started a podcast called The Lawyer’s Escape Pod, interviewing lawyers who’d switched careers. And that put me on my new path. I now coach lawyers who want to ditch the traditional work world and start creative or coaching businesses. Never been happier.
