I'm 38 and burned out. Considering a career change to a financial advisor but am wondering if practicing in a different environment such as taking an outstanding offer to joing a large firm as a partner should be tried first. I have been told from a friend who gave up law that I can potentially make more $ as a FA, have alot lot stress and work alot less hours after the first several years. I would appreciate others' comments - especially any attorneys turned financial advisors out there. I want to get my life back!

Its time to leave society, move to the mountaintop and become a guru. If you cant do that then OBEY the following rules.
Rule #1 - We dont live to work.
Rule #2 - We work so we can have fun.
Rule #3 - Most important rule - Go have fun. Volunteer somewhere (not doing pro bonos). Enjoy your family and friends. Life is short.

Of course it depends on what you specialize in. My friend specializes in probate and estate law and lives quite well and the stress isn't too bad either.
I think i would give the large firm a go first.

commonly greed. The preliminary pay is extra advantageous with a great enterprise, however the aptitude is great with a small enterprise. in case you decide directly to flow on your guy or woman, or with in simple terms one pard, detect a city interior of commuting distance of the county seats of three or 4 counties.

YES, YES, AND YES! If you open your OWN business where you are the boss, you will make more cash; because there is no one else to judge how much dough you recieve.
