After 5 years as a PI atty, if you are not generating a good amount of business, is it game over? Seems daunting.

At what point do you throw in the towel to make guaranteed more money doing defense? I can make 200k+ doing defense or 130-150k for a non-mill PI firm. Am i completely wrong? Only way you make over 200k at a PI firm is working at a M&M with 100+ cases or a reallllly good botique which seems impossible to get into. Thoughts?

If you can make over 200k doing defense without a book of business I quit my job and I work for you

Most LCOL cities, if you’re not making over that, you’re doing it wrong. That’s what is great about fishbowl, it will show you that you are underpaid. I was 6 YOE, making 132k. Found associates on the Law bowl making 170k+ with my experience and I knew I was underpaid. I received multiple job offers thereafter after I started engaging with recruiters, for 180k+ with bonuses. Never be content.
