Are you seen as a flight risk / not sufficiently fearful? |

Date: March 25th, 2019 4:53 PM Author: big grizzly degenerate volcanic crater If the economy is good and firms are hiring laterals and you have subs story, like you were caring for a sick relative or working as an adjunct at a law school--then yes, it's possible.
If the economy had even a burp while you're gone--you're done here. |

Date: March 26th, 2019 9:25 AM Author: hairless titillating area personal credit line You should just start looking and take an offer from new firm. Negotiate starting date 4 months out because you’re on a big case / deal and you’re irreplaceable or whatever. Then take a few weeks off for a vacation. Don’t even have to go anywhere. Take unpaid leave if you want to (for medical reasons or something) Give notice at 2.5 months. Then take the time between months 3 and 4 to yourself.
Oh and don’t go into another bk group. Switch areas. Your life will be better.
Or just negotiate the 4 months (longer than that would be hard probably) and give notice the next day. But you’ll lose out on 3 months of pay that you could otherwise collect. |

thanks for the advice
srsly considering it, although bk will probably be the safest place to practice in the coming shitstorm |

Date: March 26th, 2019 3:55 PM Author: hairless titillating area personal credit line You’re considering going a full year without pay. I wouldn’t worry about the shit storm. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4228836&forum_id=2#37994301) |

Date: March 26th, 2019 4:36 PM Author: fuchsia whorehouse i'm talking about weighing the cost-benefit of (a) taking significant time off and returning as a fully committed bk guy v (b) taking much less time off and transitioning into a new practice only to get shitcanned due to ITE
i think taking time off and returning to a strong counter-cyclical practice area that i remain committed to (but for whatever extraneous circumstance demanded my leave) might be the better bet if i'm expecting two-three years of a real shit economy |
