How would one go about moving from the London to NYC laterally at SC level but also going from a boutique (always been at boutiques) to a large firm? Or is it better to move into a big 4 in (cont.)

Better to move within the firm to make the international move, then move internationally and firms at the same time.

From an immigration perspective, an L1 (company transfer visa) is easier to get and preferable to an H1B in the current immigration climate. H1Bs get more scrutiny and denials lately. However, both are possible.

So, moving internationally with the same firm is easiest. But it will take a while, you’d need a year in London at whichever firm before you can apply.

If you don’t want to wait, I’d move quickly - H1B applications have to be submitted by... April, I think.

Finally, as a service designer, Deloitte, Accenture, and McKinsey will probably be your best bets in the large firms.

Bingo above. Get into a big firm, specialize or be best at what you do and put in for a transfer

I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
