Still only pays $46k, and considering I was making double that 6 years ago, I'd like to get a little bit more and I might via a private job vs a state job. Reminder that state employees in Florida have lost $5k/yr in real wages since Rick Scott became governor.

Its almost August and I’m in Texas so every time Mr. Nice types “fallback” I read it as “fullback.” It makes his posts more confusing and more entertaining.

Officially accepted a position not in big law. It feels so good - bring on boutique life! Peace out M&A life - bring on the whatever it is that boutique transactional firms do life!

I'm not sure how big law can continue to be a sustainable model - it's expensive, inefficient, has tremendous attrition and is ripe for a #metoo scandal (which already took down the head of Latham). Actual litigation has been replaced by specialist boutiques - it can't be that long before transactional work follows the same model where some boutique like Susman does the deal work and then Latham or KE or whatever is there to do the monkey work diligence for deals.

How was the salary when you accepted the position? I am not very familiar with boutique firms that pays big money. Much of what I heard was a lot of hustling like those guys from Goldman Sachs.

It's a pay cut for sure. Base pay is similar to big law prior to the most recent set of raises and the bonuses are not nearly as high - so it's still a substantial amount of money, but not as much as you'd make at a V20.

However, after doing 2700 hours last year and on Pace for 2500 this year, I want the change - it's not worth it. We had a baby last week which was the final decision maker for me - I want a predictable schedule to spend time with little man. I figure he needs me more now than he needs me to gun for v20 equity where I'd miss the next 7 years of his life.

Things that are nice: when a partner suddenly starts spelling your name exactly right and then offers to help you out with a personal goal of yours.

Because it's 5 am and you're both working.

Phil Moscowitz posted:

The Senior Partner put his pencil down and looked up, and the Warszawa smiled.

"The S comes before the Z," said the Senior Partner, a playful glint in his eyes. He laughed, holding up the pad of yellow lined paper they'd been working on since midnight. Line after line, page after page, the young catamite's name scrawled again and again in graphite but every time spelled wrong...until now.

"I hear from the junior partners that you have personal goals," said the Senior Partner as he rolled his leather executive chair around the desk. The Partner's legs fit perfectly around the Warszawa's, two knobby sharkskin knees against the young man's Tom Ford-clad thighs. "Tell me about them."

The Warszawa licked his lips. This was as good a time as any, the sky outside the Senior Patner's windows a deep purple as the sun threatened to rise. The Warszawa slowly slipped to his knees and thought how far he'd come, how few others could say they'd seen their name spelled correctly on the Partner's pad.

"I do have a goal," he said, looking up into the Partner's face. "And that goal is yourggllmfffgglllllffff..."
