Don't sell your soul for cheap then.
Was gonna try for around 40k but I've never had to negotiate my salary before. :D

Well, I know I would get "whipped" alot more than I do now, in big law. To tell you the truth, my current job is amazing socially and it provides me with a lot of free time, so it's not without it's benefits. But I'm currently on a personal mission to save up enough capital (I need 500K NOK) to get a big enough mortgage to buy my own apartment in the city, which I would be able to do much faster if I worked in big law. Also, my highest grades from law school were in the fields of contracts and corporate, so I'm definitely interested in this line of work. Life would probably be more hellish, though, at a big firm, as I would get bitchslapped and buttfucked every single day by the partners and the rest of the sharks present there, but it's still something I wanna go through to reach my personal goals.
I'm looking at a similar situation myself. If you do end up working in a big firm, how difficult would it be to move back into the government job?

Exactly the way I've been thinking of late.

Have you taken a similar path before in your career, btw? And would you say it's worth it?
I did something like that not because I needed the money but because I was interested in the work primarily. It was only afterwards that I realized I could ride that for a while to open doors, etc., later on to give me options to do other things.

Not sure how I'd feel if it would have been a situation more where I had to grin and bear it for a while just to plan my exit and count down the days though....

Oh no the best thread ever opened was just closed and deleted!!

I got an internal account review to present later at work today, but I've been putting it off so much that I haven't even started preparing for it. I hate presentations and preparing them.

Also, I'm thinking about writing a poem. Yea, that's where I'm at in life right now. :groan:
