Nope but can generally speak to living/working in London if that's helpful

A1 - hard to say unfortunately as COLA is quite variable and to begin with, not sure of many firms that would offer/advertise US qualified attorney positions in London that aren't capm. I think Skadden does white collar crime out of London for US qualified associates.

A5 - can't say definitively but almost certainly Cleary would do COLA. And probably a fat one too.

Need help from the Hivemind. I am a rising 4th year who has only been at my firm for a little over a year (after a few clerkships). I like my firm well enough, and the partners I work with like me a lot, but I’ve learned that Biglaw is not the life for me and want to get out ASAP. I’m applying to a Fed agency that I’m really excited about, but the application requires a reference from your current supervisor. I haven’t told the firm I’m thinking about leaving. How would you handle this?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
