Talk me off the ledge brothers. I quit biglaw and left Manhattan after 8-9 years for my wife's large southern city. Our destination was neither Atlanta nor Charlotte, where law is practiced on a NYC pace. It's slow here, and we have all of my wife's family here.

After I left MFH, one partner in my former group unexpectedly died. Another quit in his 50s last year. These guys were promoted to fill their positions: a counsel and a 12th year senior associate. Both of the new partners started with me in our first year around 2006. When I quit as an 8th year we were the last three from our class and the class above or below us in our practice group.

At the time, we thought our move made sense. My wife is an obstetrician and went from 175K in MFH to $480K in chill southern town. I went from $400K to $250K. I'm now a non-equity partner at an AMLAW 100-150 firm after a few years as counsel. I could make $375K-600k if I tried to market more, but I just don't like to do business development. I prefer to just make what they pay me to write motions and do deps.

Please convince me I didn't make the wrong move leaving MFH, other than letting wife make more than me. I was told by 3 separate partners that the position in the V5 was mine as soon as an old guy retired. I was uniformly thought to be better than the person they filled his seat with.

OTOH, I now work maybe 4 hard hours per day. I'm rarely in the office more than 6-8 hours. I worked maybe 3 today. I'm a member of the old money country club in the area per my wife's parents, and often stop by after work to have a Cohiba and a cocktail before heading home, though the clientele there is generally 10+ years older than I am. I play 9 or 18 3x a week. I don't have a 180 set of friends, because my networks are in MFH and on the west coast where I grew up and went to school, but I've made a decent group of 170 friends.

Tell me I didn't make the wrong turn, bros. Tell me if I stayed in MFH, even if I got the breakfast, I would have preferred where I actually ended up.

Thank

if they were your year in school that means that you had also been at your v5 firm for 12+ years?

surely the partners had some discussions with you about your prospects at the firm by the time you left. what did they say about your chances to go up for partner or what you needed to do in order to make it happen?

well xo posters (living in big cities) routinely extol the virtues of just doing chill small metro suburb area.

not to rain on your parade but for me i'd much rather be partner at v5. even at fairly unprestigious Skadden avg PPP is at least $2.5-3mm and personally i'd much rather live in MFH than flyover country, esp once you start making partner level money. AFAIK none of the v5 have multitier partnership bands, so even if it takes a few years to see your draw go up you're not gonna get tossed in a second tier cuck partnership so that the 10 total equity equity partners can exploit you like jew slaveowners ala Cadwalader.

PPP is 3M but it’s a big mix between rainmakers making $5-6 and service partners making $800k - $1 M.

I was pretty sure I'd make it. I thought I'd have to go 12 years as an associate then hang out as counsel for 4 to maek it, which didn't seem worth it.

The random death and the random early 50's retirement shuffled timelines.

Other than your wife making more than you, which I'm sure must be totally emasculating , your life is objectively better than it ever could have been in MFH.

The next time you think about crying about how bad you have it working 20hrs/wk for $250k, think back to how much it hurt that first time your wife wore the big daddy strapon. That wouldve been your life every day.

It's fine, I guess. I think she vaguely knows she makes more than me in real terms, but since my draw comes without taxes taken out, it hits our bank account almost as heavy as hers. Not sure she realizes how much she's got me beat by. 100% sure she's not realized all those checks I write to IRS are just on my half.

When you are on your deathbed, and that may come sooner than you think, will you be saying: "If only I would've stayed in MFH and made V5 partner, everything would have been different!"

If so, consider killing yourself now.

If not, stop worrying about some faggots in that trash dump of a city you chose to leave, and focus on enjoying the life you have, which is objectively 10x better than that of a soulless v5 partner that no one will remember or care about.

also those dudes making 3-6x what he is (in a much more expensive city with much more stress and work) are probably depressed because some banker makes more than they do

if you're going to live a life full of envy, there's no happiness because there is always somebody else to envy

Your way of looking at life is fucked up and you should change it. "Oh I'm 'better' than this guy, but he makes more. But, oh my wife makes X, so am I OK guys????!"

Just focus on your own life and don't obsess over comparing yourself to others. Someone will always make more than you, regardless of what you end up doing.

Do you WANT more money? Nothing wrong with that. But if so, fucking get out there and fucking get business. If you don't, that's fine, but don't spend your life worry about someone else having something you don't need or want.

Edit: PS no one is impressed by "V5" and you don't need to be the "best" to be partner at a law firm; it's largely moving commas.

TITCR. Best response in thread. One I know to be true, even if I can't make myself believe it -- or at least act on it -- deep down.

Just sad seeing the road not traveled. It's mostly about money I don't need.

But I think there's just some inherent dissatisfaction in being heavily outearned by your wife. I mean it's stupid to think about but it's one of those niggling little things that is preventing OPs full-fledged contentment.

That's a big part of it. But at the same time, his spirit seems broken by the experience in NY. Otherwise a guy like him would be aggressively trying to hustle for business, and would potentially outearn his wife.

Had you stayed in MFH, your kids would have grown up in a small 3br apartment while you worked 12 hours a day and would have been raised by a nanny. They also would be the poorest kids in their school. In a small city in the South, they will be the richest kids in their class. You are a retard for regretting anything.

Be the best dad in the world. You make way more money than you need, you can allow your kids to fully develop all their dreams.

Look at this distinguished lawyer: http://www.duplass.com/portfolio-item/lawrence-j-duplass/

His kids are the Duplass brothers and he never once encouraged them to give up there dreams, in fact he helped finance their early filmmaking efforts. His only requirement to them was they they totally commit to their craft.

They're now two of the most important people in Hollywood with TV projects dominating and super hot wives. Do you think this regional lawyer feels like he hasn't had a fulfilling and complete life?

Good example of why lawyers can be so miserable to be around.

The response of a guy with a great career and high income who works a few hours a day and refuses to bring in business to the success of a former colleague who bills every waking hour is resentment and despondency.
