For people who lateraled from midsized/regional to a big firm (AM100/200), what year were you when you moved & what was your experience like? Are you happy with your move(s) given the differences—positive or negative—in your comp, hours worked, WLB, career growth/opportunities, etc.? I know it will vary vastly from person-to-person, location, firm, values, etc., but I’m weighing some options and am curious to hear different perspectives.

Regional biggish firm (150-300 attorneys) to an Amlaw 100 as a 2nd year. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I work about the same hours but make 2-2.5x more, I have the ability to specialize since there’s more work in my desired practice, I have infinitely better exit options, and am receiving much better training. Highly recommend.

Hi, I’m the US office & marketing coordinator for a fintech recruitment company w/ HQ in the UK (Started 6/21, $52k, based in Chicago). Apart from the Talent Acquisition/HR Head I’m the only staff in the US - all others are recruitment consultants w/ base salary + commission. Not only do I already assist w/ HR/onboarding, I work in almost every other operations aspect (IT, finance, etc) & manage US marketing under the global head. I think I deserve $60-65k. See resume, is this reasonable? Thx!
