How is everyone feeling about the FL legal market right now? Is this still a good time to change firms or sit tight and wait?

This entire year (since January 1) has seemed a lot slower than the second half of last year, when I started paying more attention to lateral opportunities

I agree! I’ve seen a slowdown in the market and even business at my current firm, but the desire to leave is so strong.

Echo the above. Don’t think it’s been a “good time” for a while now. Huge boom the past couple years, but things have really trailed off the past six months or so. But if you’re in the 3-5 year window, you’ll still be heavily in demand and certain practices are far busier than others right now.

Which practices, in your opinion, have maintained or exceeded pace?

Depends on your area I’m sure. Insurance defense is always hiring. We’ve already taken three (myself included) from my old firm. Working on a fourth.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Don’t get scammed. I saw an ad for vending machines that dispense hot coffee, from The Caffeine Dream. Sounds like a cool idea, and they offered placement of the machines for a one time fee. but I asked this “Chris Mateli” where. He was evasive at first and was rude when I had someone with my company call to ask. Eventually he gave me the locations before buying the machines which, of course, I couldn’t verify for placement. They had no idea about these machines because they never ordered them.
