From being a few years away from 800k-1.1 mil to this. I’ll be lucky if I’m up to 250k/yr in 5 years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3948794&forum_id=2#35837257) |

Date: April 13th, 2018 11:01 PM Author: Dark dog poop It’s the same commute. And the same grind. The hours are almost the same. Sure, it’s better than being a 1-4 year. But it’s comparable to partner hours (not that I’d know; but from what I’ve seen) for a fraction of the salary. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3948794&forum_id=2#35837316) |

Date: April 14th, 2018 7:56 AM Author: Dark dog poop I didn’t exactly “leave” on my own terms. If I could have stayed and made partner, then yeah, of course I would have stayed.

Many in your position end up in a lot worse jobs or unemployed.
Remember, beggars can’t be choosers. Be grateful for what you have. If you don’t like this in house job, jump ship somewhere else after a year or 2. $175-$200k is not terrible. |

Date: April 14th, 2018 11:20 AM Author: Dark dog poop I'm in a fairly large finance co. now, but the GC has me assisting outside counsel on employment and labor stuff.
