Thursday evening before the 4th weekend a client decides they want a document turned by Monday. I canceled plans I was looking forward to and spent the holiday weekend working. Will they look at it Monday? Probably not. Do they need it this week at all? Probably not.

I don’t hate the job most of the time, but I find it hard to look forward to things when I know there’s a 50% chance I’ll have to cancel at a moments notice. I know I’m paid for availability but this one stings more for some reason.

Good morning, all! Junior associate here trying to improve my financial literacy. I have started to experience how, every year, it gets more difficult to leave big law when you are staring down a substantial raise. I would eventually like to go in house, and I'd love to set a financially prudent savings goal to know when it's time to leave/hold myself accountable to make a change when I am financially prepared to do so. What is a good goal before going in house? No debt obviously, and then what? 200k? 300k? Assume a 150k-200k in house role.
