Do all BigLaw firms generally have pretty good PPO health insurances? Asking because mine is pretty good and worry that if I move, I won’t get as good coverage

Most are quite mid. But maybe I just have higher standards (and get health insurance through my SO in tech).

Care to share which firms? You can add a fourth to have a bit more anonymity. Also, does it make a difference if it’s self insured? My firm is BCBS but self insured (ie BCBS is just administering our firm’s pocket), so less incentive to deny?

Yes but it costs a fortune

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me. My current boss hasn't exactly given me the confidence that would reassure me that I'm leadership material. He constantly questions my design choices, which I'm able to defend. It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.

From a vault ranking perspective, is it safe to assume V100 is all sweatshop big law?

Want some sort of work life balance and wondering if the “lower ranked” big law firms offer this? Could just be my fantasy though…
