Work in an AM200 law firm. Mid level associate and have been thinking about more WLB. I have little kids and want to be more present and not needing to log back in at night or work weekends. I do enjoy the work and the people and the firm is for the most part very family friendly, but I feel a bit burned out. Would in-house actually be a good move?

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
