Agree. I’m still moving 6th years even in lit. I’m struggling with an 8th yr lit candidate though. Lit in TX is slow but I have 4 good jobs right now in Houston alone so there are openings. Just be prepared a job search can take longer as you get more senior. But it’s very achievable.

You should have no problem lateraling to a firm that pays below market after the first year.

I know everyone is talking about corporate right now, but I've been getting tons of contact from recruiters. And my firm has really been struggling to hire good lit associates because we don't pay market. I do think there is plenty of movement in litigation right now too. Last year we hired a 6th year for lit because he was the best we could find. Just realize that the expectations are going to be higher when you walk in the door.
Lots of recruiters will tell you lit is slow compared to transaction right now, but reach out to your contacts, there are definitely firms looking. 6th year is not so senior that they will expect you to have a book of business.
Thank you!

I would not expect book of business as a 6th year. You’re not too late but you’re getting up there so I’d start looking now.
Recognizing that every firm is toxic in its own way, I just used that description without expounding on the unique hell that is my current practice group.
You should be able to, depending on the market and the type of litigation. Most firms typically look for 2-5 years, but 6 years is not far out of range. Also, as A1 said, movement in litigation is slower than corporate right now, but there are still jobs out there.
