[QUOTE="Asmee DC, post: 31254, member: 1535"] That's a really good list so far, and I completely agree with the above replies as well. I would suggest reflecting upon your own values (aside from practice areas), on where you truly want to end up. Do you want to work for a firm that doesn't have much of a work/life balance and that doesn't bother you? Or do you want to work for a firm that has a work/life balance because you truly value that?
