31,32岁做1st yr associate, to do or not to do

zhyue

let me tell you in 3 or 4 years. Seriously, most of the Chinese lawyers or lawyers-to-be I happen to know are about that age range and the majority of them have kids too. Maybe it is a biased observation, but it seems to be perfectly possible.

Is that possible having either of your parents taking care of the baby? It would be the best choice in case neither of you intend to give up your career.

Being a junior associate is certainly something tough. There is a lot to learn and experience. However, you should feel proud of yourself that you eventually make your own way into a professional.

Btw, mind me asking what your practice is?

One good thing about being a BigLAW attorney is that you can AFFORD hiring people taking care of your kids.

One bad thing about being a BIGLAW attorney is that you may have less time with your kid coz you can afford hiring a babysitter. -----No Offense. Just 4 fun.  lol~~~
