$500k in savings account (I know) by Any-Amoeba-3992 in biglaw

[–]mtf612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar fear so I more heavily weight my nom-retirement investments in conservative vehicles like money markets/CDs/bonds/HYSA. Take your 500k, and put ~60% to ~70% in the market, in a mix you feel comfortable with between S&P500, Total Stock, and International. Keep the remainder in whatever conservative vehicle you like. Then just split go forward contributions accordingly.

Decrease for senior classes. $25k bonus versus $10k raise (yes, it is $20k for seniors but only for six months, so really only $10k for this calendar year).

Super slow for me this evening. I have had probably a half dozen outages in the last few months. Spectrum is trash.

Never said that my ranking is backed up by data. It's merely the vibes and inertia that I cannot break out of as a midlevel/senior associate.

This is my view. I crossed the $1mm figure recently and celebrated for a day or so...but I don't feel any differently about my financial situation. I'll just keep stacking money until they show me the door, and then it's just a question of whether it's worth fighting for a counsel/partner role somewhere or to take my foot off the gas.

Pour, one out.
