I'm not trying to be snappy, but I think a "paycheck" can mean many things. I would be happy with a modest salary that allowed me to pay down my debt and enjoy a decent standard of living; to be fair, I never said anything about making millions. I think you would agree that that's what you want(ed), too.
Could you talk about the type of litigation that your friends do as opposed to what you do? A civil action is largely a civil action, no? Do they do more discovery? More eager to settle? Do they fight at the appellate level more often? Judgment as a matter of law?
What would be the difference between litigating for the DoJ and, say, litigating at Cravath?
Thank you. I appreciate the comments, as per usual. It's nice to have someone older talking about the legal world. I'm sorry if my previous comments came across the wrong way.
<-- taking a break from working on Bigelow memo. Maybe that brings up memories for you.
