I've been offered the chance to second-chair a landmark case that could be a huge career boost...but it means putting my personal life on hold for months. My partner is already frustrated with my long hours. Is the sacrifice worth it?

Yes. If you have a good partner they will understand. Just buy them a nice ring and vacation after

Absolutely. Those kind of opportunities don’t come along very often. You have to take advantage of them when they come.

What case?

Definitely worth it
