Way better hours and way less pay
bout how much less $, and how many less hours?
Do a search, there has been a lot said about this subject already. But from what I can remember I think you are looking at around 55-60k base with a very minimal bonus (under 10k), hours 50-60. The real money doesn't come in until you make partner 10 years down the road and even then it can't really compare to banking. I've heard partners make 250-500k
