Anybody here work for a smaller (10-15 person) MCOL city office for one of the Big4? Wondering if it still feels like working for a big firm or if it feels like working for a small firm. Coming from a 120 person regional firm and wondering how the adjustment might be.

Any recommendations on how to navigate personal taxes with an actual advisor?

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
