Do you think working at a small or large firm is more advantageous? I’ve worked at both and I had a lot more responsibilities at the smaller firm, but I also learned a lot more, a lot quicker. However, the pay wasn’t as good at the smaller firm. Curious what others opinions are about this!

I’ve had a similar experience. Smaller firms tend to accelerate your learning since you wear more hats, but larger firms usually win on pay and structure. Kind of comes down to what you value more at that stage in your career.
