Have an opportunity to lateral to Big Law as a mid-level from a boutique lit firm. Better pay, better benefits, prob same or worse hours, maybe more job security, but imagine path to partnership is more difficult. Thoughts/reactions?

Take the job. You can always move again to a boutique to become partner, but the resume boost from biglaw will help you. In addition to it just plain being a better job comp wise.

From what I understand, your exit opportunities are better in Big Law, so if you leave you have that benefit as well.

I did this and happy I did. The training, resources and opportunities are immense. Have never regretted the choice even at the busiest of times. Do good work and commit and who knows what will happen re: partnership.

I think it depends on your practice area—if you’re in a field that is recession proof, take the big law opportunity. Otherwise, there’s a chance you might be the newest hire in a less profitable practice group as we enter a recession, depending on the firm this might leave you vulnerable to lay offs. (This is all assuming if you’re in the U.S. if you’re not based in the U.S., ignore me!)

Do you care about becoming a partner?

Do you mean equity partner? Being a non equity partner in big law is not difficult.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.
