For people not in biglaw, what exit plans do you have?
I love my government job and I'm really lucky to feel that way, but I can't help but wonder that I may not want to practice law forever.
Anyone else feeling this way? What else is out there for people who can't afford to just save a chunk of money and invest it away?
Note: posting anonymously because I don't want my boss to see this and think I'm jumping ship. I'm not, but just in case.

Re: Exit Options for Non BigLaw
I'm going to work in a B4 tax in Silicon Valley.
I'll likely try to go in house at a tech company. That seems like the end game for most of the people there.
A couple of others at my office made the leap to PE/VC. But I think that's only possible if you work in the PE/VC group in a major market (SV or NYC). A few others have gone to other B4s or to regional big law, but those seem to be the minority. (I only knew of one person who went to regional big law during my summer there.)

Re: Exit Options for Non BigLaw
I work at 50 lawyer litigation firm and hope to exit to a larger litigation firm to do more litigation. People from my firm leave to insurance companies and jobs with state and local governments, generally.
