3rd year in Big Law. In the final round of an interview where the total comp is still well over 200k. My firm doesn’t pay market now so it’s not a huge cut. I’m trying to think of reasons why I wouldn’t want the job. Any insights? I can’t tell if it’s just a general fear of leaving my firm in the lurch (even though it’s to a client)

What was your reason for switching to in-house?

I think it’s that I want a deeper business exposure as well as I’m not really getting the kind of work I wanted to out of the firm. I do bankruptcy but it’s been nearly exclusively finance work or bankruptcy litigation recently.

The question is, is graduation from law school, not minimum competency? With this line of reasoning we are saying that law schools do not produce competent future lawyers, so should we instead switch to a system of taking the bar without the three years of a measure that frankly bar associations have deemed not an adequate measure? Dash this comment aside if it is fallible, but there is something here that has been overlooked. Competence is not regurgitation and memorization.
