im not 40 but ive been in biglaw for a while. no, i dont feel like ive thrown my life away. im not sure what alternative career path i could have taken that would have been preferable, and biglaw has given me real benefits, like being able to spend meaningful time in places around the globe that i otherwise prob would have never seen. i dont want to do this forever, in fact im pretty fed up with it by now, but i think it was the right move given where i came from

Are you partner/counsel level now at least? By now you’re probably at least worth $1m+, so there’s that.

Lol I’m 3 years away from being 40. Worked biglaw from like 27-31. Not the best time but also not the worst compared to others (2100 billed my busiest year). I likely wouldn’t have gotten hired at my current job without biglaw credentials so biglaw serves a purpose for lots of people looking to go in-house.

In the grand scheme of it all, it's all meaningless. The only thing anyone should be gunning for is financial independence to the degree they want to be independent (e.g. some people want $ just to chill, others want limitless travel etc), everything else is an undignified acceptance of some degree of modern debt slavery.

A lot of people had this as children, when parents essentially offered a temporary freedom by covering a kid's financial obligations, but for most it then goes away forever, or until they're too old to enjoy it.

nope, not sure what else I could have done to have the same level of financial independence for the amount I work.

While I do work a fair amount I now have a completely flexible schedule, dictated only by my clients' bullshit, not anyone at my firm. I usually wake up around 8:30 or 9. I work from home for a little and go to the office around 11. I leave between 6 and 7 to have dinner with my wife every night. If I have more work to do I finish it in my home office.

The stress of billable hours and client demands really does suck, but i can't imagine another job with as much independence as I have now - day to day at least. Had I gone down another path a long time ago maybe I would have found something fulfilling and rewarding $$$ wise, but it's been so long that i can't even imagine what that would be.

I have enough time to play video games, play with my dog, work out whenever i want, and drink and smoke pot all the time. And about 3 times as much money as I need for my lifestyle. Could be worse.

You have a good gig going, but having a kid may throw a wrench into this whole thing.

I know lots of people who do work after kids go to bed and obviously taking care of young kids after work isn’t the same as relaxing with wife for a few hours as a break.
