I’ve always wished I could split this job evenly with someone. Like a friend (or spouse even) and the way we split is entirely up to us. We could alternate days. Or weeks. Or even go 6 months on 6 months off. Can you imagine working 6 months out of the year and reeling in 50% of a biglaw salary/bonus?
