I’m in reverse if your situation. Love the firm, colleagues, work, pay, everything. Cannot stand the boss. We are oil and water. I’m eventually going to leave when I get the right opportunity.

A GC once said to me no one ever quits the job, they quit the boss. Felt like something clicking into place.

5 digit bump is significant. The people you work with are important but if you have a good relationship with your supervising partner they’ll understand your need to leave. I’d discreetly see what else is out there and see if there’s anything that excites you.

I was vague intentionally. The browsing I’ve done indicates I could probably net an additional 20k or so per year if I moved firms. I don’t have any offers yet but I’m confident in my ability and interviewing skills.
