Currently a second year associate in insurance defense at a regional firm. Looking at a moving to a vault100 firm in a transactional practice group as a staff attorney. Pros: significantly increased pay, firm name recognition. Cons: not an associate position and brand new practice area. Thoughts?

I would do it. The longer you spend in insurance defense, the more difficult it is to transition to something else. This seems like a better move up the ladder.

Be careful with staying a staff atty too long. Lots of firms won't count those years toward your class year if you jump to an associate position. But agree that it's a step in the right direction. Good luck!
