You always have options, but if you're only willing to search indeed.com for jobs that pay 200k+, it's never going to happen. What do you actually want to do outside of a law firm?
Also, talk to recruiters about moving to a different practice area. Probably tough since you've lateraled 3x already, but far from inconceivable that someone would let you start over as a 3rd year doing something else.

Right. No one is taking you as a 7th year. You would have to find a firm that would let you drop back and be a 3rd year associate. Some firms allow it, some don't. Best bet is a hot practice area that is somewhat related to what you do. Don't know what that is, but recruiters will. Talk to at least 3-4 of them; some will say it's not possible, but it does happen, so find someone who will work with you.
And if you want to get out of law, the whole "law sucks, I just want out" attitude is insufficiently specific. Guess what, most jobs suck worse than biglaw associate and pay less. You need to evaluate what you want in a job, what your realistic strengths are and decide on something, whether it's sales, biz dev, tech, etc. And then come up with a plan to get there because it'll probably take a year to make it happen.

stop shirking the questions. does your wife work? how many kids?
why the fuck did you have kids before being set financially?
if you were a single man, or married without kids, then maybe you could have retired already

yes, i think that is clearly the CR here
move somewhere cheap as fuck, buy a 300k house and invest the remaining 700k. then find some low paying jobs. i don't see what the issue is here.
you will likely net out with a higher net worth investing that 700k in the market than you would keeping it in your house as equity

I liked it more than M&A, ECM and investment grade debt, which really felt a lot more like I was just papering a deal that someone else was making and that nothing I did really mattered.
Obviously nothing I do still really matters, but I spend a decent amount of time either trying to find loopholes in covenants or drafting covenants to prevent loopholes, which I find kind of fun, and sometimes you feel like you are actually being a little bit creative and allowing some transaction to happen that otherwise wouldn't. I mean, most of it is still pretty boring but most of every job is really boring so if you find 5-10% of your day interesting I think you are doing pretty well.
I think I probably would have liked a lot of things though, including a bunch of other practice areas. Levfin was what I fell into because it seemed the most interesting a few years ago when I had the ability to pick, and I've stuck with it ever since.
