TLS’ers, What do you consider as your ideal or best-case career path to be? For example, T14-->10 years in BigLaw-->Partner, T14 -->3 years in BigLaw-->SEC job, T14-->job in a DA’s office in a Mid-size city-->State Judgeship etc, etc...I may be skipping a few steps here. Please also discuss what your “good-enough” career path would look like. Thanks.

You've got to be able to save more than 300K in 5 years if you get market bonuses (and have no kids). Even with sticker debt....
