You could definitely go in house at your skill level. However I would wait, as in house postings have gone down since the recessy started and I would assume in house immigration roles aren’t entirely safe (from layoffs) when the economy is bad. I’d give it a year

My issue is, I have so much firm's work that I have hard time to work on my cases/clients. It feels like my cases are supposed to be done after hours (like after 6 pm). My work hours are crazy. I feel this is unfair and since my firm's taking 70% of my sales. Should I ask for a raise?
