Any attorneys ready to leave big 4? When is the best time and what are our options? After 1, 2, or 3 years? Big law or other law firms?

Not sure tbh, but Ive been here 2 years and am leaving to start my LLM in the fall. I have a contact that may help me get corporate counsel. I'm also looking at big law. We'll see.

Any luck with this? Curious how it worked out for you. Thanks!

If you want to go to big law and don’t care if it is related to work you’re doing now, leave ASAP. If you’re looking to go to a competitor doing similar work, senior associate is best time- maybe 3-4 years experience. I was surprised some of the big law firms were willing to give full credit for big4 experience. So if you had 3 years big4 experience, big law was willing to pay you on their same payscale for 3 years big law experience.

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
