I ran some projections today. Assuming average long-term market returns:

If I kill myself in biglaw, I will end up with $50m in retirement.
If I go in-house or work for the government, I will end up with $25m in retirement.
If I don't work at all, I will end up with $15m in retirement.

WTF am I doing here???

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job.
